The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015, Liquid Cashmere Black by Donna Karan is a sensual and mysterious fragrance that captures the essence of an evening mood. The composition opens with sour cherry, creating a tart contrast to the sweet warmth of praline in the base. This interplay between tartness and sweetness is further accentuated by the heart notes of rose and jasmine, which add a floral depth that is both alluring and complex. Patchouli and sandalwood ground the fragrance with earthy richness, making it feel like an intimate embrace.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a moderate sillage. This fragrance develops best when it's allowed time to bloom on skin; it reads most vividly close to the body rather than filling a room. Ideal for evenings when you want something warm and alluring.
