The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1994, Cashmere Mist Eau de Toilette by Donna Karan is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that embodies the designer's signature blend of simplicity and sophistication. The composition opens with bergamot before transitioning into suede, jasmine, and lily-of-the-valley. At its heart lies cashmere wood, musk, sandalwood, vanilla, and amber, creating a warm and sensual experience. Perfumer Nicholas Calderone crafted this gentle and powdery scent that is both comforting and elegant.

How to wear it

Apply Cashmere Mist Eau de Toilette to pulse points and let it settle for a few minutes before heading out. The powdery base notes take time to fully bloom on skin, so avoid layering with other fragrances to best appreciate its nuanced warmth.
