DKNY Cashmere & Rose Absolu is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026. Cashmere & Rose Absolu opens with Mandarin and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Sandalwood and Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk and Amber. DKNY's Cashmere & Rose Absolu carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-led wear.

This one's a divisive rose-amber bomb. If you like your roses big, bold, and backed by serious amber, you're in for a treat. Haters will find it cloying and headache-inducing - but us? We love a bit of drama.

Given its strong projection and impressive longevity, Cashmere & Rose Absolu is perhaps a bit much for a conservative office setting. It truly shines on dates and formal occasions where its sophisticated rose and amber character can make a statement, while still being acceptable for a bold casual look.

About

Cashmere & Rose Absolu hits you with a bright, fruity opening of mandarin and raspberry, quickly settling into a prominent, velvety rose heart. This isn't a shy floral; it's lush and full-bodied, underscored by creamy sandalwood. The base brings in a warm, enveloping blend of amber and musk, adding a rich, slightly powdery depth that lingers for ages. It's a proper grown-up rose, with just enough sweetness to keep it from being stuffy, and a powerful amber presence.
