Cashmere Mist and Black Cashmere by Donna Karan...

Cashmere. The silky feel of soft fabric that makes you want to snuggle up real close. Its warmth hugs your body like a comforting embrace. Inspired by the delicate softness of cashmere comes Cashmere Mist from Donna Karan. Delicate and soft like its namesake, this light fragrance celebrates the essence of femininity. This lovely oriental floral-themed scent is a fusion of lily of the valley, suede notes, bergamot, ylang, Moroccan jasmine, sandalwood, orris, amber, vanilla, cedar wood, patchouli and musk. The creamy accords sprinkled with nuances of spice radiates a sensual innocence that perfectly complements a young woman.

One perfume fan chimed in and agreed with Cashmere Mist’s delightful aroma. She said, “Cashmere Mist is the olfactory apotheosis of a pure femininity. Its rich creamy, soapy smell makes me almost want to wear it, but this is definitely not a unisex fragrance. I have identified it on others, it stands out so gorgeously. Lofty and luscious, this is a ravishingly innocent scent.” Another interesting Cashmere Mist experience was how the soft florals, amber and woods resemble a buttery suede.

Cashmere Mist has airy qualities – ethereal to some extent – then fades into a gentle, slightly dark sandalwoods notes. It permeates a certain mystery – beautiful yet elusive.

And for those winter days, a more intense, darker cashmere-inspired fragrance that blankets you all over with a sensual warmth that soothes. An offshoot of the Cashmere collection, Black Cashmere boasts a melange of spices blended with woodsy notes of patchouli and assorted African trees. The rich accords of exotic spices interplays with the smokiness of woods and glazed sugar crystals giving out a richer aroma that is certain to set you ablaze during the colder season.

Black Cashmere is an austere fragrance. It permeates a slight melancholic mood, typical of winter. It is suggestive of a more relaxed feeling of laid-back, affluent lifestyle.

Donna Karan never fails to recreate a classic fragrance that entices the senses. The Cashmere perfume line captures that sense of timeless beauty and marries it with the intricate luxury of cashmere – its sheer elegance that never goes out of style.
