Cashmere

What an amazing thing - scent memory! it takes you all the way back to the moments that connect you with the particular scent, and if the connection was strong enough your receptors sort of scream at you, following the Proust's Madeleine... Now you just have no choice but to play this scent detective untangling the notes, the time, the memories until the last piece of the puzzle click and the restlessness is replaced with a blessing of astonishment. Where, how and when have we meet? The bigger the surprise the greater the prize. This one is huge. Nothing, I repeat, nothing helps with getting to the heart of the case: the ultra feminine bottle, the soft yet slightly animalic name, the simple notes, but the nose says: nope, I've got a recollection of this and it was something else. Took me 24 hours of my little scent Poirot play and I'm there. Sort of, because there are 2 scents I don't own anymore, so can't really tell which one would be the closest. My first trail would be Bvlgari Blv or Blv Notte - the good old Nivea cream in a form of a proper perfume, or more Nivea with a touch of the animalic musky darkness. The other "suspect" would be Bvlgari Black, the one that was packaged in a tyre-resembling bottle, to play along the rubbery / asphalty dark soul resting on a soft vanilla, iris & musk bed of Bvlgari DNA. Dark yet sweet, light yet pretty much on the heavier side, comforting yet disturbing, feminine yet not all the way, musky and sexy in a very complex, not complicated, way. Very different packaging, very much of scent resemblance. I've missed both of them - fascinating, daring, intriguing, memorable - much different from the faceless crowd of today's sweet flowery clones. Purchased a whole set (shower gel, body balm and 30 ml of perfume for under 10gbp), now I'm rather torn apart between the urge of drowning myself in the memories and the wish of actually keeping the bottle for as long as possible... Well, the wash & body balm might give me the much needed satisfaction :)

Cashmere is a really nice , elegant flowery/leathery perfume. Mysteriously there’s no leather note listed ... am I the only one that smell suede/leather? A very subtle,creamy suede ? To my nose : powder (like old fashioned expensive blush or face powder) Ivy leafs , violets, grass, woods, frankincense , white flowers, Musk, white deer suede, leather. The most noticeable note to me is the suede - surrounded by woody and floral notes. I can also detect some green notes - specially in the first 30mins. It start fresh and become more rounded,creamy . It makes me think about a sunny autumn day .when the air is crisp and you start wearing a warm scarf or a cardigan. The name couldn’t be more appropriate . I think it’s very elegant,classy and unusual. Sort of old school . I love it to bits more I wear it and more I love it- it has some kind of sexy tone - not loud , not evident - subtle and sensuous . Definetly a woman( in her 30’s or 40’s) kind of classy scent . Considering the price , a masterpiece.

This is seriously beautiful! Definitely on the lighter, sweeter side of powdery but in no way sickly. It’s light but luxurious, clean and I’m sure I can detect a little suede in there somewhere too. I was shopping with my grandfather and he bought a bottle of this as my late nana used to wear it and he likes the memory it provides. She also used to love Anais Anais by Casharel and this is definitely in the same makeup. I have to say I snuck back and bought myself a bottle and it will be my new day to day perfume. It reminds me of my nana now too, along the scent of L’Oréal hairspray and Olay beauty fluid. 🥰 Silage and projection are gentle, but for the price point I don’t think it gets much better than this. I hope Next never discontinue it.

I love this! Have had many bottles of it over the years. Such a comforting fragrance. White florals, powdery with subtle musk.This really is cheep as chips but definitely reminds me of EL Sensuous Nude. I like to wear this on autumn/winter evenings and often spray it on my bed linen. There are lots of Next fragrances not listed here in the database, which is a shame. IMO Some of them could give the designer fragrances some serious competition. I do not work for Next!

A lovely spring-summer fragrance if you're looking for a change from something citrus. Very fresh smelling, long lasting and work-friendly too. There is also, to my nose, something unisex about Cashmere...too bad not enough info on its notes. Knock spots off a lot of pricier fragrances. There are few fragrance that I love and would repurchase time after time and this is one of them. Looking forward to getting a bigger bottle in time for summer ;-)
