Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Cashmere EDP
A cult classic, Black Cashmere is a divisive, intoxicating blend of dark spices and woods. It's a masterpiece that inspires obsession, but be warned, it's not for everyone. If you get it, you really get it.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Noire Fiber EDP
Noire Fiber chases DKNY Black Cashmere's smoky saffron-and-incense oriental and lands the warm, spicy heart well. It reads flatter and dries down faster than the original's velvet-and-sequins depth, but for a budget bottle the dark, peppered amber signature is convincingly there.
