Spirit
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Jasmine unfolds with delicate brightness, immediately tempered by a cool, almost green quality that suggests fresh florals rather than heady indulgence. Within moments, the tuberose begins its creep into prominence, softening the jasmine's edges and introducing creaminess that feels powdery against the skin.
The orange blossom emerges as a subtle sweetening agent, whilst tuberose becomes the dominant voice—creamy, slightly indolic, with that characteristic soap-like quality. The composition sits close to skin now, developing a gourmand character as vanilla and tonka bean rise gently, creating a soft halo rather than a projected cloud.
Vanilla and tonka merge with musk and amber into a warm, intimate base where sandalwood provides textural grounding. What remains is decidedly skin-scent territory—a soft, powdery sweetness with subtle amber undertones that feel more like a memory than a presence.
Spirit — of Cashmere Musk is a fragrance that leans into softness with an almost tactile quality, as though you're wrapping yourself in cashmere rather than wearing perfume. Dominique Preyssas has crafted something deliberately intimate here: jasmine arrives first with a whisper rather than a declaration, immediately subsumed into the creamy embrace of tuberose and orange blossom. These florals don't sing independently; instead, they merge into a unified sweetness that feels powdery without being dusty, creamy without feeling synthetic.
The real architecture emerges in the base, where vanilla and tonka bean create a gourmand backbone—but this isn't dessert-counter sweetness. Instead, the musk and amber inject a subtle warmth that prevents the composition from tipping into saccharine. Sandalwood threads through quietly, adding a woody grain that stops the whole thing from becoming solely a skin scent of pure comfort.
