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 a Statement verdict, a floral-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.

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.

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.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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 & 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.
