Liquid Cashmere Black

Its true you need to love patch to love this but its not too much. It is balanced well with the cherry and the praline. Ive got to admit my heart sank when I saw cherry and praline at the top of the list of notes detected. I was also alarmed at folk likening it to Guerlain Little Black Dress which is frankly awful. I braced myself for a sickly sweet punch on the opening! Thank the Lord that no such thing occured. I have always been a big fan of Donna Karan all the way back to the 80s. I thought surely this classy lady would never ok a sickly sweet monstrosity. So what is it like I hear you impatiently think to yourself. Its a balance between the natural cherry, praline (read more nutty than chocolate) and patch. Of course there is sweetness but its low key. It is more dark and sexy than anything else. Im really pleased to get lots of sandalwood and just a little rose. The notes blend really well together. Liquid Cashmere Black is the perfect name for it. It surrounds you in an airy soft alluring fragrance thats made for seduction. Very feminine. Moderate sillage and longevity on me.

I have never owned a Donna Karan fragrance before, but when I came across this online I was intrigued by the notes. I am SO glad I went ahead and bought it, because it's really gorgeous. This is what I wish Lancome's 'La Vie Est Belle' had been like. This is like it's more mature and alluring older sister. It has the Praline and the Patchouli, but the fruity cherry is really well done here - the blend is seamless and elegant. It's not too strong or overly sweet or 'in your face'. It's more elegant, simplistic and graceful. It's definitely sexy, but not so much that you couldn't wear it during the daytime too. I am a big fan of Prada Candy, because for me it's not too strong, but still noticeable enough. This is a different fragrance than Candy, but it has the same quality of being just sweet enough, while maintaining a subtle and sexy quality that is just irresistible! Also - the bottle is simply amazing - one of the most unique I own :)

Super sweet gourmand perfumes are my favorites, and this popped up on my radar. I actually got out of my small town and sniffed it at Ulta, but it really did smell just like La Petite Robe Noir EDP... and I wondered if I even needed it. It was softer/drier, nutty-er, and had a little something extra... and the test on the paper strip lasted for a week. Well, I bought a bottle and I'm glad I did. I think I like this even more than LPRN. It has a softer feel but just as much sillage/lasting power. And there is something extra that makes it easier to wear. LPRN can be loud and screechy, this is more delicate but not inferior. This is better blended. I absolutely love this. I don't get any patchouli, just a soft dry, nutty cherry. I may get a tiny bit of spice.

A very nice floral/cherry blend, with a hint of the sandalwoood (the patchouli is too light to register for me), and it's not especially sweet. Unlike some fragrances, especially niche, it doesn't get irritating over time. Nor is there any synthetic or chemical element (though my sensitivity has been low lately). And for guys who like a bit of rose and jasmine, this may be worth sampling. Overall, I would not expect such a scent to be any better than this, but it sure could have been a whole lot worse! UPDATE: After a couple hours or so, it dries out and the wood is more obvious. I'm also getting a bit of patchouli. Not especially complex (which is fine by me), but certainly pleasant.

This is available at Macy's right now (as of yesterday), along with the white version. I'll try the white in a few days, but I'm definitely enjoying the black. It is not a sweet, young cherry fragrance. The black cherry is evident in this, but it's actually sophisticated and more mature than the fruitchoulis that are the current style. Dark cherry and woods is how I would describe this one. It's not a teeny-bopper gourmand, but it has a slight gourmand edge to it. Sillage is not strong, but I catch gorgeous whiffs of this constantly. Sexy, mature, and beautiful.. Also, different.. Worth at least a smell!! LOVE IT!!

Cherry chocolates , It's fresh sweet /fruity /red and chocolate. I love it. I like it the best just sprayed on one spot of my body , like my hand or arm or wrist. It can get too sweet to wear at the neck or chest and you may grow tiered of it. But as a spots sniffer ,,,,wowzwers!!! It works for me and it's definitely a gourmand lovers dream , young girls love it. Men do also. Already was asked several times what it was and how yummy it smells. I do agree it reminds me of petite rope as well ! I got it at my local shoppers drug mart ,( Canada ) they already have it !

Its so goooooood . Cherry cherry cherry. Definitely smells a LOT like la petite robe noire. Lprn is my fav scent of all time and this one is like right there too. There's just slight differences in quality like sillage and longevity and for some reason it's harder to decipher individual notes in this one. Also this one is slightly sweeter and more synthetic of a cherry. Lprn cherry is more tart and natural. Overall I love this fragrance very much. Its too bad she's discontinued. Cherry is the best perfume note. Lasts 3-4 hours

I recently purchased this fragrance for myself because I enjoy the dark nature of its scent. A dark patchouli chocolate rose with slight cherry notes. It wears extremely well as a base layer for even darker incense fragrances.... or by itself. As a man...I love the way it smells on my skin. I really enjoy this version of patchouli. It is not floral... It’s somewhat oriental.... Somewhat gourmand.. Smooth luxurious black linen with dark moonlit rubies shrouded in a dense foggy veil of cold forest air The Verdict: Excellent

I put this on before going to see my favorite band, and YUM! I think it will forever remind me of that concert. Loved them both! Found this to sit close to skin and lasted 6 hours. Kind of reminded me of Senuous Nude by Estee Lauder. Not too many of the same notes listed, but for some reason it came to my mind. Has the "my skin but better" feel. I really love this rollerball and have a feeling it will achieve full bottle status, in my collection, someday. Happy smelling! :)

Thank goodness I don't get the sweet, flowery, fruity gourmand others mention, since these are all things I dislike. This is a warm, rich, somewhat woody with a hint of spice, sexy, beautiful scent that is definitely not a typical gourmand on me. I tested and bought this in the store. I'm so glad I tried it, because had I based my decision to buy solely on reviews here, I would have never tried this glorious juice. I love it!

Just got a roller ball from this and I must say, that definitely could be a Tom ford. At first I tought it shared some similarities with noir pour femme because of the hint of smokyness but as it dries down it gets pretty standard "fruitchulli" scent. It's definitely sexy and my favorite among those recent gourmands recent we have in the market right now. Silage and lasting power are good, perfect for a night out and about.

Got this as a dupe for Armani-mania 1999-2000 the first mania he made and it was discontinued. It is reasonably priced, smells very much like mania and brings back all the memories! My husband who has never smelled mania on me, said i smell like a woman and asked me why am i wearing such sexy perfume and if i'm up to something hahahaha For me it's a gem <3

Dark, sultry, and sensual. Sweet praline and slightly fruity from the sour cherry. But it's not really a sweet and fruity scent. It's a sexy scent. It's the moody but irresistible sister of the original Liquid Cashmere, the night time counterpart. This is perfect for an evening out. Particularly good for date night. It makes you delicious :)

Yummy! My goodness this is amazing. I wasn’t sure if I’d love it or not with cherry being such a dominant note but honestly it’s complex and deep even if it is sweet. It’s not candy sweet on me. It’s lovely. Someone said similar vibe as Velvet Orchid and I agree. Not same as VO but same vein. It’s a new love for me for sure!

Mysteriously sweet. Alluring! I get why this has so much hate. I too can't stand the cherry cough syrup opening but after 5-6 minutes it dries down beautifully on my skin. It's so classy, warm and sexy. The sweetness here is done really well. Mature and smooth. Very well blended. Love it! Lasts about 5-6hrs

I tried this at Kohl's today on a strip. It smells so good, very oriental, i can detect a lot of amber in base, to my surprise it's not in the notes. I don't smell any sandalwood. This is a softer version of amber mystique by Estee lauder. Just amazing and perfect for the upcoming fall!

I love this scent, day or night really, it's sexy and sophisticated. I had to mature a bit in life to appreciate it. ♡ office friendly. Will make you feel rich and luxurious. Wish it had a bit more projection!

This is really beautiful. I saw it as soon as I walked into Nordstrom's and sprayed on a strip and despite all the dyptique, Malones, and other fantsy-schmantzy stuff, this is the one I fell in love with. It is a tart fruit with a soft edge. SO nice for cooler weather. I get almost every note blended together in a perfectly balanced bouquet. The cherry is the dominant, and the patch is not overwhelming (thank goodness). I have to give it a few minutes to start to get the praline, but it's there, with the florals and sandalwood balancing it. This is super beautiful. I'll be wearing this sample quite a bit (they made me one at the store) and deciding if I'll go back for a bottle or wait for the inevitable Macy's/Marshall's sale that happens with this line? EDIT: Another wear strikes me with the similarities between this and Le Petit Robe Noir. Now I'm torn. More chocolate in this. It's not a dupe, but certainly seems to be taken from that scent.

You cannot discuss this fragrance without discussing the two fragrances it so evidently embodies; This is a TRUE fusion of 2 classic scents. The velvety sweetness of Lolita Lempicka meets the buzzy richness of Hypnotic poison EDP. A strong HP EDP base, but beautifully accented by the whimsical characteristics of LL. What an incredibly interesting and well blended combo, you really must try to fully understand. Its a shame it doesn’t last very long. Liquid Cashmere white is one of my all time favorite perfumes and honestly I’d be hard pressed to wear this over that, but regardless LC black really is amazing and stands out on its own in the LC collection. If this is on your list to try, get on it! Prices seem to get higher every few months, as is the case with most of the LC line. 🤓👍🏼

This is a lovely deep scent perfect for fall and winter. As others have said, it doesn’t project quite as much as I would prefer. I consider it a cozy daytime scent for that reason although I think most would prefer this in the evening. I wish I got more of the sour cherry. And I get something a bit smokey, like the praline is a bit overdone, almost like burnt sugar. I do think that adds some interest to the fragrance. My skin always pulls sandalwood forward so I don’t get much sweetness or florals. I mostly pick up the sandalwood and patchouli with very slight florals in the background. But I do like it. I don’t think my chemistry does it justice. I will try it on clothes rather than skin and see if I can pick up other notes better.
