Eau de Cashmere

Eau de Cashmere arrives as a paradox—ethereal yet anchored, a fragrance that whispers rather than shouts. The opening citrus burst of bergamot and mandarin orange feels almost inconsequential against what emerges beneath: a lavender-iris heart that's distinctly powdery without veering into grandmotherly territory. This is where the fragrance reveals its true character. The iris lends a cool, slightly woody undertone that prevents the lavender from becoming herbal or medicinal; instead, the two notes create something closer to pressed talc dusted over skin, creamy and soft. As the composition settles, the base notes—musk, vetiver, and cedar—transform this opening freshness into something substantially warmer. The musk isn't particularly animalic here; it functions more as a skin-scent amplifier, drawing out the creamy accords that suggest cashmere's namesake softness. The vetiver adds a subtle earthiness that grounds the floral without muddying it, whilst the cedar provides gentle woody structure.

This is a fragrance for someone who appreciates restraint and sophistication. It suits those moments when you want to smell immaculate without broadcasting your presence—the office, intimate dinners, quiet afternoons. The overall character is refined and slightly austere, with an unexpected creamy sweetness that prevents it from becoming cold. Eau de Cashmere occupies a rare space: it's a fresh fragrance that doesn't feel summery, a powdery scent that doesn't feel dated, a creamy composition that somehow remains crisp.
