Spicy, musky, and warm, with a velvety woody sweetness and a soft floral lift. The opening is cool and diffusive, with faint herbal and spicy facets. In the heart, a gentle floral quality sits alongside the musk and gives it a rounded, almost powdery smoothness. The drydown is musky, woody, and persistent. Cashmeran is strong and diffusive, so it is best evaluated in dilution before you judge it at full strength.

Cashmeran works as a musk-woody modifier, warm spicy fixative, and diffusive base note across fine fragrance, personal care, and fabric care. It is rated very good in alcoholic perfume, soap, shampoo, creams, antiperspirants, fabric softener, candles, and incense.
