The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016, Cashmere Aura by Donna Karan is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that captures the essence of modern elegance. The composition opens with aldehydes and orange oil, creating an initial freshness that transitions seamlessly into the heart notes of ylang-ylang, acacia, and cassis. These floral elements are then grounded by musky and woody base notes, along with a touch of vanilla, providing warmth and depth. This fragrance embodies Donna Karan's signature blend of simplicity and sophistication.
Apply Cashmere Aura sparingly to pulse points — it blooms slowly on skin. The aldehydic top notes are brief but impactful, so layering with a touch of musk can enhance its lasting warmth. This fragrance reads best close to the skin rather than in a room.
