Cashmere Currant is a really great leather scent with fruity nuances. The leather is noticeable and present, yet never overwhelming. Alongside this, we have these fruity nuances, primarily from black currant.
This combination is finely tuned and fits together perfectly.
Many are already familiar with this combination of leather and fruit.
Big examples include Tom Ford Tuscan Leather,
Widian London, or even Kinetic Sillage. All of these fragrances work with raspberry as the fruity component.
This works excellently.
Cashmere Currant from 1973 uses black currant instead of raspberry, and that works excellently as well.
The scent starts directly with the combination of black currant and leather.
Although the leather is listed as a heart note, I can perceive it right from the start. Additionally, we have a hint of orange and mandarin. These two notes support the fruity side of the fragrance but are not the main players.
Over time, the leather becomes a bit more intense. However, the fruity side remains present!
Now, a slightly greenish jasmine and violet join in. Furthermore, a finely tuned patchouli.
These notes simply complement the fragrance for me. They do not want to step into the spotlight and draw attention to themselves.
Throughout the entire development, I can also detect a sweet, woody side.
This is likely where the cashmere wood lives up to its name. The name of the fragrance already hints at this.
A touch of vanilla is also present, which certainly helps convey sweet impressions.
The performance of the fragrance is also quite good. My skin retains the scent for about 8 hours. The projection is also completely sufficient. The scent does not shout, but it is also not entirely reserved.
I would classify the fragrance in the unisex segment and definitely recommend testing it.
Cashmere Currant is really enjoyable. If you like leather combined with fruit, you are in the right place. Fans of Widian London and co. will surely find pleasure in this.
