Cashmere Mist is the perfume I buy for my Mom now. Her favorite was Chanel #5, but she wore that with my Dad who died in a wreck. It seemed to make sense and scents to go with a new fragrance with life being much different now for her and the rest of the family.

Mom is a classic beauty and quite traditional in her values. Chanel #5 was a nice fit, and I'm the oldest and most likely to think of gifts along those lines. In looking at a new perfume, I just paid attention. When she tried a sample swab at the mall, I could tell she liked Cashmire Mist, so I kept that in mind and got that for the next holiday.

The fragrance on Cashmire Mist is elegant and classy. It's not a trendy type smell which would not match my Mom well. I'll try new ones, but she sticks with a perfume for years as she did with Chanel #5.

This is running on three years with Cashmire Mist being the one I buy when I think Mom might be running low on perfume. It matches her well and does not go out of style. It's just one of those timeless scents.

Yes. I think so. I think it's great, but it seems more like "grown up" in some ways. OK. We're grown up, but you know what I mean. It's a different era kind of thing. Very nice. Very classy. Could be any age but pulled off better I think by a mature women who knows who she is.

I'm don't wear perfume very often, but both my mom and daughter have quite a collection. This may work well for my mom.

You sound like me. I am always wearing/choosing my fragrances based on memories of others who may have worn them. My SIL wears this quite a bit and it does smell good. I love the classic scents too and love Coco Chanel Mademoiselle.
