Quick View: I have friends in high places. OK, well in a department store. I have a friend who works the cosmetics and fragrance counters at a high end department store and she is always giving me samples. Gotta love that. She was blown away by this perfume by DKNY and brought me a few little vials and a large packet of the lotion to try. I am not a floral or a powdery scent girl but this is feminine and subtle. I  won't buy it for myself  (see why below) but it is a wonderful choice for those who like classic warm scents.

About DKNY Cashmere Mist Eau De Parfum Spray


This fragrance is a classic feminine one with floral jasmine scents of sandalwood and vanilla. To me, this smells slightly of powder and then I get the vanilla and floral scent. The floral scent is not "old lady" or funeral home floral. It is very warm and a tad musky. I actually really liked the scent for a change. The bottle is unique and pretty but I am not big into what the stuff comes in. I want to smell great. I tried this and, the first time, I liked it a lot. It started out a bit sweet but simmered down to a super feminine, sexy scent that is good for day or night.

But then...

I got a headache. That is a fairly common occurrence for me. I have allergies and certain scents just do that to me. I tend toward citrus or very fresh clean fragrances with no floral at all and certainly no powder scents for that reason. My favorite fragrance is Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue which is a fresh, clean scent without a trace of floral in it and I never get headaches from it. The link to that review is: /Dolce-Gabbana-Light-Blue-3-4-oz-Eau-de-Toilette-Spray-for-Women-review-31ef

Despite the headache, this is still quite a nice fragrance that lasts a long time on my skin. The lotion is a great layering item and will add length to the wear times. If you like classic, feminine floral scents that also have a zing of vanilla and smell sweet and warm, this is a good perfume to try. Please note that it is not Black Cashmere by DKNY. That's a whole other scent completely. This one is fresh, sweet, warm, and sexy yet subtle.

My Viewpoint

I am not going to take a star off because I got a headache from this fragrance. I am so prone to that, that it would be unfair to penalize the perfume for my sensitivities. This is a very feminine scent with a powdery, musky undertone that really is sexy. It is subtle enough for anytime wear and I would wear it now and then if I could. I am going with 4 stars. Traditional florals make me gag. This one intrigued me and made me feel sexy in my jeans and sweatshirt.

That is my problem too. After a while, I just can't deal with the scent. I have to be very careful with what I wear but luckily I like clean and citrus scents and they don't give me a headache.

I've been trying to decide if I want to try Estee Lauder's Beautiful. I'm afraid that it may do the headache thing to me. I love the scent, just not sure if I can handle it all day!

It is quite nice. I wish I could wear it. I don't know why I get headaches from certain florals and Asian scents. Luckily I like cleaner more fresh scents so I am not too sad about not wearing florals.

I'm going to have to look for this and try a sample. It sounds intriguing!
