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.

About

Cashmere Musk opens with cyclamen, green notes, coconut and ylang-ylang, a fresh, green and creamy start. The heart brings hyacinth, Himalayan cedar and sandalwood, floral and woody together. The base is musk, cashmere wood and woody notes, leaving a smooth, soft and enveloping finish. Overall it is a gentle woody musk with a creamy floral side, comforting and quiet rather than bold.
