DKNY Cashmere & Wild Fig is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Cashmere & Wild Fig opens with Bergamot, Rose, Freesia, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Fig and Bamboo, and dries down to a base of Musk, Pebbles, Earthy, and Cedar. DKNY's Cashmere & Wild Fig carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This fig-forward 'freshie' is surprisingly divisive. While some find it a sublime, earthy fig, others are put off by a persistent metallic or chemical tang, and its fleeting performance leaves many wanting more from a fragrance this sophisticated.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its clean, subtle nature and low projection make it perfect for office or casual wear where strong scents are inappropriate. It's a bit too subdued for formal events but works well for an intimate date given its 'skin scent' quality, and its clean, fresh profile is ideal for light activity.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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 & Wild Fig opens with a crisp, peppery freshness from bergamot and freesia, quickly followed by the star- an exceptionally green, almost unripe fig, underscored by airy bamboo. As it dries, a soft, clean musk emerges, blended with earthy and mineral notes, giving it a unique 'wet stone' quality before settling into a subtle, woody cedar base.
