Clinique Cocoa & Cashmere is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Cocoa & Cashmere opens with Cacao Pod and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Solar Notes, Jasmine, and Honeysuckle, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Vanilla. Clinique's Cocoa & Cashmere carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A dreamy cacao and vanilla dream that utterly wins hearts, despite its notorious disappearing act. It's the scent you wear purely for yourself, a cosy little secret that whispers rather than shouts. Just don't expect it to last.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Given its intimate sillage and low longevity, this fragrance is perfect for casual settings or as a bedtime scent. It's inoffensive enough for an office, but its weak performance means it won't make much of an impression at formal events or dates unless someone is very close.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a warm mug of cocoa, rich with vanilla and a delicate hint of honeysuckle, all nestled in a cloud of clean, powdery musk. The amber and solar nuances add a subtle radiance, preventing it from becoming overly gourmand, while a soft touch of pink pepper gives it a barely-there spark. It's creamy, fluffy, and profoundly comforting from the first whiff.
