The story behind the bottle.
Gaël Montero crafted Cashmere & Rose Absolu for Donna Karan in 2026, blending the softness of cashmere with the depth of rose. The composition opens with a bright burst of Italian Mandarin and Raspberry before settling into the heart of Rose, where it meets Sandalwood, Musk, and Amber. This fragrance is neither overly sweet nor overpowering; instead, it creates an inviting warmth that feels like wrapping oneself in a luxurious cashmere shawl.
Apply Cashmere & Rose Absolu sparingly at first; it blooms beautifully on skin over time. The fruity top notes are fleeting but make way for a warm and enveloping base that lasts well into the evening.
