The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016, Liquid Cashmere Aqua by Donna Karan is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that embodies the brand's signature blend of elegance and comfort. The composition opens with marine and aromatic notes, evoking the freshness of sea air, before transitioning into a heart of floral and woody accords that bring warmth and depth. The base features musky and powdery elements, creating a soft, enveloping finish reminiscent of cashmere itself.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays for optimal wear. The marine top notes are bright and immediate but fade within a couple of hours, giving way to the rich, warm base notes that last throughout the day. This fragrance is best suited for daytime or early evening wear.
