DKNY Cashmere & Vanilla Essence is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Arielle Le Beau. Cashmere & Vanilla Essence opens with Pink Pepper and Apple, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Violet, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. DKNY's Cashmere & Vanilla Essence carries a Favourite verdict, a powdery-led wear.

This is a grown-up vanilla that battles between being a creamy, smooth dream and a frustrating ghost. Its luxurious scent profile is often lauded, but its notorious disappearing act means you'll need to overspray like crazy-or risk being left with little more than a whisper.

About

A velvety cloud of vanilla and Cashmeran opens with a gentle kiss of pink pepper and crisp apple, leading into a heart of delicate violet and luminous jasmine. The dry down is a warm embrace of creamy sandalwood and amber, creating a soft, powdery, and elegantly spiced vanilla that's both comforting and alluring. It's like powdered sugar infused with subtle florals and woods.
