Cashmere Sunshine Musk

I absolutely adore this fragrance! I almost don’t want people to know about it so that the price doesn’t go up or it doesn’t start to become difficult to find. It is so surprising to me how there could be completely different notes from what the nose picks up. This according to the notes has no vanilla or even fruity notes. However, this comes off sweet to me. Almost like if there was a little bit of delicate fruits, not citrusy or acidic fruits, but sweet fruits, combined with vanilla and yes, there’s absolutely a salt component, but to me it’s almost like sea salt, like the smell of the ocean when you’re sitting by it. I can’t begin to describe it because the aromas and the notes balance and blend together so beautifully which I think is what makes a perfume amazing when no particular note stands out like a sore thumb. Sort of how like some people don’t like cilantro, but they may eat a dish that has cilantro in it and find it delicious. Or how you can’t enjoy just a teaspoon of pure salt, but if your food is lacking in salt you can definitely tell and a little bit of salt makes all food delicious. Kind of like that, all the notes need to marinate together to create one beautiful, harmonious fragrances, and that is what this is to me. I was surprised to see that the notes said citrus and floral because that is not really what I’m getting and a lot of times that can come off quite like a punch in the face. Especially if there’s no softer note like vanilla or caramel or something like that to soften it. This is such a beautifully blended almost reminds me Of Baby milk, baby formula with some flowers and fruits and it’s just creamy with a tiny bit of salt and just absolutely delicious. It’s not a gourmand, but it comes off a little bit gourmand dish to me in the sense that it makes me wish I could taste it. It makes me wish I could eat it. I already have a back up bottle on the way and may consider even buying a second back up bottle that’s how much I love this stuff. The only thing that I would change is that I wish it could be a little bit just a little bit stronger. I have to spray this one a lot, but the little bubble that is created around me makes me so happy. I don’t even care if other people can’t smell it Update: it lasts and is stronger now that I’ve had it for almost 4 weeks. I’m noticing a lot of middle eastern fragrance house perfumes can smell too faint and too weak upon arrival. They do get stronger. But the scent is still beautiful!

Beach-y. Solar. Animalic. at my nose : salty. No salt note listed, but it IS salty. Solar, yellow creamy florals : gardenia and neroli prominently. The mix smells a bit like ylang. A slightly fresh/green opening : there is citrus but it’s not really citrusy for me. There is a kind of ozonic note that evokes beach/ocean to me, without being sunscreen-like at ALL. I don’t know what this is, maybe the blend of the different notes together. The drydown is still creamy and floral, a bit sweet, and musky. personal thoughts : It’s sexy, feminine, solar, enveloping, warm – and gooood it’s potent ! Don’t overspray. Amazing scent trail, projects a lot. Eternal on clothes, very long lasting on skin. Beautiful on a skin that gets warm (summer, exercise) : the creamy, musky tone...mmh. Some people could find the saltiness + musk too harsh : I can understand. But it’s a vibe, and I love it : I love animalic notes as well. Be aware if you don’t like « dirty » musks. If you like perfumes in the Vanilla Powder (Matière Première) DNA – minus the coconut - you may appreciate this. It reminds me this profile a LOT, but I personally prefer Cashmere Sunshine Musk because there is no coconut. This is what makes it special to me : beach vibe x 1000 but not in the sunscreen type. Another one that is pretty similar is Fatal Embrace by Paris Corner; salt/yellow florals/creamy underground mix, the difference is Sunshine Cashmere Musk has a (slightly animalic) musky undertone, and Fatal Embrace has vanilla instead. Between the two, my favorite is Cashmere Sunshine Musk all the way. I expect this one to become more « round » over the time : I have my bottle for ~ a month. the vibe : a hot day, maybe all the afternoon on the beach; sunshine on your clean, but sweaty skin, that is glowy and warm; there is an ozonic, salty fresness of water near... you hear the ocean, you’re feeling good and relaxed, you can smell florals in the air. Summer and comfort, nothing less. tarot cards : XIX The Sun + 9 of Pentacles. Happy, glowing, opulent, good in her own skin with flowers in her hair, enjoying the vibe – she IS the vibe, and she makes all people around feel good too, because she is radiating her comforting warm all around, with absolutely no shame. Beauty, pleasure, sunshine. in résumé : saltiness + yellow creamy florals + slightly animalic musk + ozonic beach vibe

This is one of those fragrances that instantly puts you in a good mood. It smells like sunshine, warm skin, and a soft ocean breeze wrapped in a cloud of sweetness. There's something really carefree about it - like spending a summer afternoon by the water with the sun glowing on your skin. If you've tried Paco Rabanne Olympea, the resemblance is hard to miss. Sunshine Musk follows that same sweet, salty, musky path, but it feels a little less deep. The rich vanilla and amber combination that gives Olympea its creamy, almost goddess-like quality isn't prominent here, so the scent comes across brighter and more straightforward. But where Sunshine Musk really shines is in its performance. This stuff lasts and lasts. It projects beautifully, leaves a noticeable scent trail, and pulls compliments with very little effort. Every time I wear it, someone seems to notice. The overall feeling is warm, radiant, and effortlessly pretty. Think sun-drenched days, golden light, beachy air, and that carefree confidence that comes with summer. It's not trying to be the most complex fragrance in the room- it's just here to smell amazing, get noticed, and make you feel good.

Omg i cant belive i havent left a review for this fragrance i had gotten it ealier this year and all i have to say this is a beautiful fragrance its reminds me of being back in california and im at the beach theres bushes of flowers everywhere and a cool breeze where you can smell the salt in the air from the ocean its sweet and salty and very floral easy for a man or women to wear not sure if id wear this in the winter but im going to try it its been a while since i worn it i simply loved this perfume in the summer to keep its strong but not terribly overpowering people will most definitely notice and at the dry down the saltyness of the fragrance calms down and a cashmere note just sings too me man i love cashmere whole reason I gravitated towards this perfume cant wait to pick up the sibling one day even though rose isn’t always my thing (cashmere warm oud)

So beautiful. So soft. So bright. I kept sniffing myself and smiling like I had a secret the sun whispered to me. This one makes me feel cozy, comfy, and completely at ease—as if I just stepped out of a warm shower, and slid into my favorite robe. After the initial spray, I went outside in 90-degree heat and whew—it blasted my nose in the best way. I literally said out loud, “OMG I love this.” It’s like sunshine and heat dancing together on my skin—so nice, so sweet, so me. This scent is the feeling of sunlight filtering through curtains. It’s fresh like newly washed sheets and fabric softener. Wear When You Want To Feel: Like the sun kissed your shoulders, like the breeze loves your skin, like your whole aura is glowing and everyone can feel it without you saying a word.
