Spirit of Cashmere Musk

In short; wonderful dupe. And also for a ridiculously tiny price. A little bit less anise, whose absence makes Cashmere seem slightly sweeter - but it is a minor difference, that only comes out from beginning to early-mid-stage for me. Starts a tiny bit less smooth but with more intensity, again minor difference, for two minutes. It's at least equal in sillage and lasting power to my Hypnotic Poison EdT (made 2022, + mini pre-2009), high-medium. I cherish my Dior bottles. But the contents don't differ all that much. Funnily enough. If you can, and don't mind the meh packaging with pink juice (well, handbag option?), do give it a try! Quick comparison addendum: La Rive Sweet Hope is to me equally great in smell with a way more fitting, pretty bottle. And/but it is light, meaning low to low-medium sillage and lasting power - which can be good, and actually made me like HP for the first time ever. Guipure Silk seems to vary in production, and mine is half HP half powder-musk; interesting, but would not even bother buying as an alternative. Not tried the popular Tesori d'Oriente, and probably won't as so far I've found my favourites, in Cashmere and Sweet Hope.

This perfume is a great example of trust the process. I sprayed it on my wrist thinking it will be a dupe of Hypnotic Poison. But I didn't smell it so much at first - only harsh almond with a bit of vanilla. Decided to give it a bit more time and there it was, a beautiful rich sweet floral explosion with almond and some creaminess. It stayed on my wrist for about 5 hours now and it's not disappearing. I can say that it smells like Hypnotic Poison since I tested it before but never bought it, therefore I cannot say if it's an exact exact dupe but I definitely remember the crazy similarity. The only difference is that this one is not as blended as HP. It won't bother me much now but to hide the 'harsh' notes of Cashmere musk, I will layer it with Zara femme- also a light version of HP that will blend the notes smoothly. This is an intense fragrance, so definitely recommend it in the winter and nighttime. Since I love it so much, I will probably use it in the summer as well but only 1 spray is enough.

such a pretty fragrance, i think it smells really high quality and has good sillage. flowery, sweet and vanilla. cant go wrong with this.

I think this smells really really good for the price (I got it for 7 something euros). I like how it is a bit oldschool-ish in a way.

Spirit of Cashmere Musk is a good Hypnotic Poision edt dupe for me, It smells stronger and longer than La Rives Sweet Hope but without the early Play Doh note, but less sweet. This Dupe lasts longer than the Hypnotic Poison edt with greater sillage. But the OG smell is of higher quality and much rounder.
