Cashmere Vanilla Jasmine

I can't get enough of vanilla based fragrances these days and Vanilla Jasmine definitely satisfies my vanilla obsession! The first thing I noticed is the cedarwood combined with a sweet vanilla. The cedar in this is different than most fragrances with that note. Instead of being super woodsy it adds a spicy flair to all the layers creating an earthy musky smokey bourbon type vanilla. Heliotrope, one of my favorite flowers is the prominent floral on my skin. Heliotrope is reminiscent of vanilla, powdery creamy and sweet. Off and on I get little whiffs of orchid. I honestly don't smell jasmine, its nowhere to be found on me. I would recommend this to vanilla lovers only.. Vanilla Jasmine is a soft perfume, with average lasting power. I tried the body mist and it was way lighter and smelled of alcohol. The EDP is a better buy! This has similarities to Laura Mercier Eau Gourmande Vanille Gourmande but nowhere near as strong in silage and lasting power. It does smell like a stronger and better quality version of VS Vanilla Lace. Vanilla bean orchid, living purple orchid, jasmine absolute, cedarwood and heliotrope are the notes for VS Vanilla Jasmine.

Put it on in the morning before work and the scent stays until evening. This scent is AMAZING, simplistic and delicious. A good blend that kind of reminds me of warm oatmeal sprinkled with cocoa powder. Maybe that's a bad description, but it is a creamy, warm and comforting food, as well as scent. I get so many compliments on it from both men and women! Men love it and women want to have it for themselves. I consider this an innocent sexy. For the woman who doesn't need to scream it, she just is! The jasmine isn't overpowering either, just enough floral to brighten it up and make it sparkle with the vanilla. The woody undertone of cashmere makes it somewhat earthy. There is also powdery heliotrope not listed here. I've been wearing this ever since it came out. I almost cried when I realized they discontinued it. I stocked up on the VS website and bought 3 bottles on clearance and have been rationing it since. This was one of my signature scents and now it's gone forever. So sad!

This is a beautiful vanilla fragrance. It's smooth and creamy and reminds me of clotted cream. All the notes are so well blended that you can detect them all - the vanilla, the soft flowers and gentle wood grounding it. It's very cosy and has the same kind of feeling as So Hooked on Carmella. It's linear, but when it smells this wonderful you don't want it to change. Feminine, relaxed, dreamy. The packaging is so cute too. Staying power and sillage both great, so you're in this divine little cloud when you wear it. More for cooler weather I feel. I have no idea why this was discontinued but I really hope they bring it back! If VS can make fragrances this well I don't see why they don't do it more often.

This fragrance is well balanced. Actually, the entire Parfums Intimes line is well-made and a far cry from other cute, Pink stuff VS is selling. Parfums Intimes is very grown up and sensual, and Cashmere Vanilla Jasmine fits right in. Gourmand, but not the screaming, extremely foody, cloying vanilla. Instead it is the warm, close to the skin, almost powdered sugar cookie type of smell. I love Cashmere Vanilla Jasmine, especially sprayed before going to bed--on my pulse points, clothes and negligee. I really don't get why VS discontinued the entire Parfums Intimes line!

Wood, wood, and more wood... and it's a fluffy, soft wood that I absolutely LOVE... and I don't even like wood! Lovely, sweet, non-indolic jasmines wafting along with the vanilla. No foody stuff, no over-crowding of too many notes or an ambition to be oh-so-different... Just a clean, silky wood and that beautiful fragrant, vanillic flower. This is a bewitching perfume I cherish with all my heart. Some may balk at it but that sort of makes me happy. That way I can have all the left over bottles of this discontinued gem all to myself!!:)

this is very pretty. at first it smells like wood, vanilla and a bit of something almost citrussy. i think the jasmine in this is pretty subtle here, thankfully, because me and jasmine do not get along sometimes. it's mostly a creamy woody vanilla scent. awhile later the jasmine becomes more apparent adding the nice floral component. i haven't tried any VS scents in a long time, but i must say i am pleasantly surprised by this one.

I cannot believe this got discontinued. I was gifted a body spray of this. Wow. This is the most amazingggggggg smell from the Victoria Secret line I've ever smelled. It reminds me of Vera Wang's Princess at first but then that sexy vanilla comes through and lightens it up. It's not heavy at all and very sensual, and the dry down.... It's soooooo sweet wow! It smells incredible on my skin. I need the EDP to come back :'(

This is the only Victoria's Secret fragrance I like. It has a classy aroma, not trashy.It is simple and uncomplicated. It does start with a blast of Jasmine, but don't be alarmed. It becomes creamy vanilla and luxurious cashmere with a whiff of Jasmine. One of my favorites to wear to bed. I drift off to sleep in the warm comfort of this fragrance. I put my arm around my husband and he just says "Mmmmmmmmm"

Body Spray review: I love this one from VS. It smells warm and cozy! It is a very good blend of vanilla and jasmin. It is exactly what I want to wear when it is snowing outside. The body spray lasts all day. I think it is best for fall and winter. I think it would be a bit to strong for the summer. Too bad they stopped making this. :(

I have the body spray and I have been repurchasing it on ebay for 5x the price since it got discontinued.. Yes I like it that much. Why they discontinued this scent is a mystery.

The body cream is the best! It smells yummy!!!! Delicious!! Soft but creamy. The name suits it perfectly, CASHMERE! soft and lush. Perfect for a cozy night in

This needs to be rereleased. It was amazing.

I finally got this today because VS had a sale on all their 1.7 oz perfumes. They were all $25, instead of the insane price of $55. which is not insane for other perfumes, but for VS scents, yes. Anyway it was a hard toss up for me to choose between this and Sexy Little Things Noir. SLTN ended up having a "sweaty coconut" smell on me in its dry down, so i ended up getting this one. Plus i have a vanilla OBSESSION :) Except that this one is a lot more Jasmine than vanilla to me. In fact I dont smell much vanilla. I think its just very blended. Though a really do love this scent. As some one else mentioned before, this really is a more mature baby powder smell. So it smells like you have always just come out of the shower and lotioned and powdered, so that is nice. (Especially in a hospital where you are always getting dirty!) The previous reviews say that this last forever and is very strong. Yes it is strong, for about 15 min, than i only get a faint whiff of it on my clothes. A plus was that all my co-workers and patients say that it smells very good! so its powdery, jasminey, vanilly, ...if thats what you likem, go for it!

Victoria's Secret CASHMERE reminded me upon the very first spritz of Donna Karan's CASHMERE MIST. Sure enough, looking at the notes I find that the three notes found in the VS linear, jasmine, vanilla, and cashmere wood, are all present in the Donna Karan formulation as well. Hmmm... seems like a bit of perfume plagiarism to me. (Or perhaps both VS and DK are owned by the same multinational global conglomerate, so they can get away with such a thing? On ne sait jamais...) To return to VS CASHMERE, this is a very pleasant, minimalist linear with marked vanilla and jasmine mingling together to form what is essentially a one-dimensional skin scent. There is no development, but the VS Parfums Intimes were never meant to be layered. Sometimes less is more! The presentation is extraordinarily beautiful. The thick glass bottles in the fabric covered boxes adorned with ribbons are very enticing. But the edp is a linear skin scent, no more and no less.

This is a very nice, very soft perfume. Not soft in sillage but in feel, like a pale pink cashmere sweater with angora fur tucked in. CJV is not an overpowering gourmand vanilla (and I love gourmand vanilla) or a heady floral jasmine. It is for me a bed of vanilla with a very light woody aura and a hint of Jasmine. As mentioned, this isn't your typical gourmand vanilla, it's much more mellow, you won't smell like a cookie (or at least I don't think so). And possibly the combination of the three notes, but I swear I smell coconut. CJV is sweet but not over the top sweet, smooth, creamy, and enjoyable. Sillage is good, lasting power is far better than many VS scents. For me it's one of the best so far from Victoria's Secret.

‘A Luxurious cloak of cashmere envelopes every curve. Sensual Vanilla Bean Orchid from the French island of Bourbon. Jasmine Absolute cultivated in India. The lasting warmth of Cedarwood and Heliotrope.’ -Victoria’s Secret I just found my perfume in the original beautiful box with the original description card along with the lotion, while cleaning out a box in my bedroom. I don’t know why it was ever packed away, I remember loving this scent when my husband bought it for me for Christmas. I am going to have to test it to see if it has gone bad since this is an oldie. I remember it being a very rich, cozy scent, definitely very sensual and almost intimate. Even if it has turned, I will still keep this in my collection.

A sensual, woody, hugging vanilla scent! It's delicious without being childish, deep without being dramatic and tempting without being vulgar and annoying. I don't get much jasmine, but I just love how this exquisite, dark and naturalistic vanilla blends with the sophisticated, whispering wood notes which make the scent adult and cozy. The staying power is very good (about 6 hours after applying). Today it's quite cold outside and I guess it will be raining soon. Nice, transparent spring rain pouring down the window pane, a big cup of coffee with some milk, white, fluffy blanket and this scent on my wrists and my neck. What could be better than this? Only THE man next to me under that blanket.

husband bought this for me one xmas and i thought it was very strong (perhaps because of the jasmine?). the presentation is definitely nice. i find that if i spray the room or sheets a couple of times, the sweetness of the vanilla lingers. vanilla lovers will definitely like this. it's a shame that vs has discontinued this because i don't really find great scents there.

This scent is like a classier, grown-up version of baby powder. I found it quite potent and long-lasting too - almost too much for daywear, but for a cold winter night, I think it would be quite nice. It's very feminine, yet it has a soft woodsiness about it.

A warm, cozy, sexy, grown woman fragrance. It is very pure, not artificial or too fussy. I use this before bed and it makes me feel sexy and feminine. Slightly sweet and a good balance of soft heaviness. I love this scent.
