The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Cashmere Mist EDP by Donna Karan is an intensified version of the original EDT, reimagined with deeper musk and woodsy notes that create a warm, enveloping embrace. The top note of bergamot gives way to the soft suede and lily-of-the-valley heart, which adds a subtle touch of floral sweetness. The base notes of cashmere musk, sandalwood, amber, and vanilla create an enduring warmth that feels like a comforting hug.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to ensure that the rich base notes have time to bloom. The warm amber and vanilla will last through the day without overpowering, making it perfect for both daytime and evening wear.
