Cashmere Rose

I was at my local Ross and saw this on the shelf with the other “body sprays” and picked up for a quick whiff. I was immediately drawn to it because of how pretty and pink the bottle was. I’m so glad I gave it a try because it smells SO MUCH like Jo Malone’s Velvet Rose and Oud. And it only costed me $15 !! My original velvet rose and oud was stolen from me so I’m so glad I can at least have this very similar dupe. It doesn’t have the exact same notes, they’re slightly different giving this perfume a slightly more mature vibe without the praline but it surprisingly lasts a couple of hours on my skin! So give it a try if you’re curious to see how similar it is to Jo Malone

Jean Rish's Cashmere Rose is a truly gorgeous fragrance, offering a classic blend of rose, clove, and oud. While this traditional combination might be familiar, this particular iteration distinguishes itself by leaning more heavily into the rich florals and sophisticated oud, rather than emphasizing the clove. The oud here is noteworthy: it's a bright, clean, and "sharp" Westernized oud, far from the dark, animalic notes found in some Oriental varieties. This brilliant take on oud contributes to the perfume's overall elegance. As someone who appreciates rose and oud fragrances, I find Cashmere Rose to be perfectly unisex. Despite the bottle's design seemingly targeting a feminine audience, the scent itself transcends traditional gender boundaries, making it an excellent choice for anyone familiar with this captivating perfume profile. In fact, I've had fantastic results layering it with Tom Ford's Oud Wood, creating an even more captivating aroma.
