Donna Karan Cashmere Mist

Soft and velvety like real cashmere, Donna Karan Cashmere Mist combines a lofty-floral scent meant to be adored up close. Undeniably feminine and one-dimensional, this lush fragrance treats you to an oriental woody fanfare of Moroccan jasmine, lily of the valley, bergamot, sandalwood and amber. The notes are far from being tagged as mundane. It’s not your typical crisp and fresh fragrance either. It is beyond that. There’s an air of mystery inextricably anchored in the floral-suede essences it radiates.

Donna Karan wanted to create a signature fragrance that complements her personality. Apparently, she loves cashmere. She’s passionate about it, even obsessed about it, she says.

Cashmere Mist develops into a soft, powdery scent, a tad spicy and soapy in the dry down. The alluring scent makes you want to snuggle up so you can enjoy the comforting warmth it emanates from within. Another stunning characteristic is its straightforward appeal. Albeit contemporary, you wouldn’t mistake it for the ubiquitous unisex fragrance flooding the perfumery today.

The sleek bottle was designed by Donna Karan‘s late husband Stephan Weiss. His inspiration was the sensual lines of a woman’s back. The sculpted glass reflects the comely scent of the liquid inside just like the sheer beauty and confidence of a complete woman.

The first Cashmere Mist was introduced in 1994. Since then the fragrance has evolved into more interesting versions but the softness of cashmere remains. Cashmere Mist and its recent additions to the fragrance line are available at discount perfumes online.
