Cashmere Mist EDP

Cashmere Mist isn’t a scent; it’s a vibe. this is SO comfortable and warm. it smells like laundry — but in a nice, clean, old-fashioned way, not in a “candy bug-spray” way. if my neighbors’ laundry soap smelled like this, i’d complain a lot less. at first, there is a hint of something like melon or bubblegum, but it stays just out of reach, which is just as well, as i don’t like sweet perfumes and a true melon note would likely be a deal-breaker. i think this phase has something to do with the way the bergamot reacts with the slightly sweet vanilla. there’s also an opening funkiness which i think is the suede figuring itself out. this is definitely one of those perfumes which takes an hour or two to come together and reveal its true glory. but it’s also one of the ones which is most certainly worth waiting for. when the suede and vanilla finally get comfortable with the powdery jasmine and lily of the valley, and the sweetness mellows into just a touch of honey, it’s all plush gold velvet and cream-colored fleece which keeps getting better until you’re left with morning-after pillow magic. <3 musical accompaniment: Lotte Kestner’s cover of Damien Jurado’s “The Falling Snow” /current edp

This was my grandmother's perfume. I had a sample of this and loved it, couldn't figure out why it seemed so familiar. When she died and we moved my grandpa to a smaller place, I found it in her things, and I almost cried. When he died, I took her nearly-empty bottle. Last week, I found a half-used bottle for 95 cents at a thrift store, and had to buy it. Smelling it now smells like giving her a hug again. I also really love the scent, even without the memories. Some might say it's "mature", but I really don't think that should be a negative when describing perfumes. It is very powdery to me, and quite musky, though definitely more on the clean side of musk than the animalic side. I get a strong hit of jasmine a couple seconds after spraying, but after that it is predominantly musk, and a little bit of leather. I wish the bergamot was a little stronger in this, I think the bright edge it would bring would be refreshing in what could become an overwhelming fragrance otherwise. I'm so glad to have rediscovered this fragrance again, and to relive the happy memories with my grandma that I have from her wearing it. I just know she'd be delighted to know that I love it now, too.

This is lovely. It's very fresh in the opening probably the bergamot. This quickly passes and it becomes all about soft, sueded, white flowers mostly jasmine. I only get a hint of lily-of-the-valley. The base notes smell really clean to me, a cashmere musk, amber, and very subtle vanilla. There is a hum of powdery sandalwood and musk throughout. If you don't like powdery scents, you won't like this, because it's very present. However, this is a beautifully done musk. The musk reminds me a bit of baby products, but in a luxury kind of way, and personally I love it. Cashmere Mist is ladylike, easygoing and timeless. I can wear this anywhere, year-round, and have elevated it to a signature scent or at least to one of them. I know it's an older scent, but that makes it special, because I don't smell myself coming and going. While it's lowkey, it actually has some throw that many of my musk oils lack, and it lasts a decent amount of time. I love the sculptural style bottle too. It can be a little pricy, but not horrible compared to other fragrances on the market. Just a fantastic perfume, subtle and classy. There's a reason it's been around for 30 years. Great Stuff!

I feel like I just fell into a hug. Or a cashmere sweater... :) What a lovely fragrance! If I ever needed a comfort smell, this would be it. The sandalwood is what is coming through the most, mixed with a lovely hint of jasmine, all wrapped up in a soapy-musky ambery-leather mix. The first spray is just warm and delicious and I sense the vanilla, and the drydown holds within it a dusky lime shadow over the amber and sandalwood. The best blind buy I have ever had. Someone below mentioned how this fragrance is definitely oriental, and I wholeheartedly agree. I should think this will be worn at night and during Fall and Winter, but today I will happily wear it (and for hours now, I might note). Absolutely unique and I truly love it! Best sandalwood fragrance so far.

This perfume is such a safe buy, and it’s a plus that they also sell the matching deodorant at Sephora. This fragrance is so beautiful and they’re never getting rid of it. It’s a win - win. I may have Cashmere Mist replace my signature scent. Cashmere mist is so beautiful. It’s sensual, classy, lady-like, and poised. It is a perfume that I feel like Charlotte from SATC would wear or Bree from Desperate Housewives. This perfume screams “I am a put-together housewife!” I love this perfume so much and I don’t think it gets the flowers it deserves. I can’t quite pinpoint the exact notes, but I can say that it smells creamy, clean, ambery, musky, warm, and animalic. It blends with your skin chemistry perfectly to recreate a ‘your skin but better’ kind of vibe.
