Cashmere Aura

I second the review below mine. I'm REALLY surprised that this isn't higher rated. In my opinion, this is one of the perfumes that I imagine would be very hard to dislike. I actually love it. I gave it a "love vote" above. This scent is super soapy but it's in no way outdated. It's really clean and friendly. It isn't sharp or overbearing. Definitely one of the more friendly soapy scents, very much like Jennifer Aniston's debut scent. Just friendly and inviting. It's one that I'd consider a natural, second-skin-type of perfume. Exudes that you've just stepped out of the shower without smelling like one of those citric, bathroom cleaner type perfumes. I love it! Random side note : I LOVE this bottle. It looks just like the photo above. It's got this luxurious golden bronze tint at the bottom half of the bottle. Anyway, if you enjoy soapy scents this is one of the better made ones that I've ever come across. Not sharp or sneeze inducing, not weak but not strong as to repel anyone, and also not juvenile or loaded with vanilla like everything is these days. The musk also helps to ground this perfume so the soapy accord doesn't make the scent unbalanced or too much. Last but certainly not least...performance. Performance is great. The last 4-5 perfumes I've ordered have mostly been amazing scents...but nevertheless...scents that you need to drench yourself in to get any performance out of. This luckily broke that streak. Longevity - About 6 hours. And it isn't a skin scent. it actually projects. And when I say 6 hours...that's with only like 4 sprays. 2 on each wrist, and two on my neck. And it lasts 6 hours easily. Projection - 2-3 feet and it really sticks. Not one of those scents that projects for an hour or two and is a skin scent afterwards. This one projects for hours and hours. And lasts forever on fabric. 12 hours or so on fabric. Overall score - 9/10. Before this one I bought "Cashmere Mist Liquid Nude," as well as the original "Cashmere Mist EDT." And while I love both of those...I think that I like this one the best. I absolutely love it. Easily can be worn year round.

It smells like I walked I to Hollister, A&F, NY&Co. That high end and fine wood scent. I dig it! This type of perfume is not something I would wear or typically gravitate towards. But, after I tried it. I really liked it. This is really a very nice scent.I can't see anyone not liking it. Even if you don't love it. Definitely likable. It's so neutral and comforting. The poster that said this has that "ISO E Super" vibe to it. I agree. Just much more natural smelling. Cashmere Mist Aura. "Aura" is perfect suffix adjective to describe this scent. It really is like the soft whispy hairs on a lovely cashmere and angora sweater. It does start out with a blast of aldehydes but calms down to a Balasmic, with a light airy floral. To be exact; An airy and soft then lower, deeper notes that take me to a forest—to an earthy, woodsy, grounding aroma that can also have rich vanilla and floral undertones. But yet at the same time, it is amazingly transparent and neutral, without the heavy feeling which is typical of heavy dried wood. A big fat like from over here. I get the baby oil/lanolin scent some people mentioned. Which is why I have to say I was surprised there wasn't heliotrope in the floral mix. Which I think is why it reminds me so much of YSL Manifesto L'Elixr

This fragrance was gifted to me. I imagine a sunny, crisp, cold fall morning with this perfume. I agree with the dove soap comparison as well as baby oil. This is a great “I want to smell clean” fragrance. Doesn’t smell grandma-ish in my opinion. I’m not a fan of heavy florals so this is a nice change from my usual gourmand fragrances. I love wearing this in the cold winter months it’s like a cozy sweater in a bottle. I also love spraying this on me right before bed. I don’t love it just like it and I will continue to wear it. It also reminds me of Glade Cashmere Woods room spray. Update (07-16-2019): I have been enjoying this perfume in the summertime, it really smells great in the heat! Citrusy, clean and musky light floral. It’s a new summertime perfume for me. (09-25-2019) I layered this perfume with “At the Beach” body cream from bath and body works. Together they give a musky creamy beach scent, I smell so good right now!

This smells a lot like the discontinued and hard to find Liquid Cashmere Nude. That fragrance always smelled to me as if they mixed Cashmere Mist and Liquid Cashmere together. It has the same blissful powder of CM and the lovely ylang of LC, but it also has very smooth citrus and woody notes too. Unlike some powdery fragrances, there is nothing babyish about this perfume. I find it sophisticated and womanly with a name that really suits it as it does create a sweet, though not sugary, powdery floral aura around you. Silage is good initially then goes down to a more discrete level that I could smell all day; making it a good choice to wear in close quarters or at work. I was fortunate in that I found an almost full 100ml. bottle at a good price. Unfortunately, this fragrance has now been discontinued too. So, if you are considering a purchase, now is the time while there are still bottles out there at a reasonable price.

Weird fun fact: I've wanted this perfume for around 7 years now. I remember going to a really high-end department store on my own for the first time, and being so nervous walking around the perfume aisle. After dousing myself in countless testers, I found myself really attracted to the design of this bottle and sprayed it on my wrist, not expecting much. I was immediately in awe at how much I liked it. It sparkled to me, it smelled so classy and cool. I remember how heartbroken I was when I saw the price tag, but I promised myself that one day I would get myself a bottle. Sadly it was discontinued and hard to find for a while, but I saw it online recently and got it! Thankfully the allure is very much still there for me, it smells so comforting and warm. Really, really recommend.
