Cashmere
Fragrance notes
Character
Cashmere presents a mix of sandalwood, musk, Virginia cedar, leather, Indonesian patchouli leaf, amber, tonka bean, mate, juniper, guaiac wood, and Gurjan balsam. The mate and juniper add a dry, herbal edge to the resinous Gurjan balsam. Leather sits quietly among the woods rather than dominating the air.
The sandalwood and guaiac wood carry a smooth, polished grain that feels refined against the skin. Amber and tonka bean lend a soft, powdery warmth without becoming sweet. Musk and the patchouli leaf create a musky, patchouli accord that stays close. Virginia cedar adds a clean, dry line through the heavier resins. The animalic facet is present but restrained, supporting the woody and amber accords instead of pushing forward.
Stéphanie de Bruijn composed this woody fragrance in 2020. It suits someone who enjoys a personal, aromatic blend of warm spicy and leather notes that remain near the body. The limitation is the blend itself. The many accords compete for space, so the leather, animalic touch, and aromatic mate never fully settle into a clear identity.
