DKNY Cashmere Mist is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1994, created by Nicholas Calderone. Cashmere Mist opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Suede, Jasmine, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. DKNY's Cashmere Mist carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is a clean, comforting musk that's either a cozy embrace or a dated powder bomb, depending on who you ask. Seriously divisive for some, a holy grail for others.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Cashmere Mist opens with a whisper of bergamot before settling into a soft, powdery heart of lily of the valley, jasmine, and suede. The base blankets you in a warm, musky embrace of sandalwood, amber, and vanilla, evoking the scent of clean skin, freshly laundered linen, or a luxurious cashmere sweater. It's a scent that promises gentle comfort and understated elegance.
