How the layers join

Origin

Cashmeran is a synthetic molecule developed in the late 1970s, chemically known as 1,1,2,3,3-pentamethyl-4,6-dihydro-naphthalen-2-yl)ethanone. It is produced through organic synthesis in laboratories and does not occur naturally. Its creation was driven by the search for novel woody-musky notes beyond natural materials.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use Cashmeran primarily in the heart and base of fragrances to impart warmth, volume, and a tactile, skin-like quality. It blends well with woods, musks, ambers, florals, and spices, enhancing both masculine and feminine compositions. Its diffusive yet soft character makes it a versatile fixative and texturizing agent.
