Cuddly Warm and Sweet Gourmand
Top Notes: Bergamot, Guava, Wild Berries, Apricot.
Heart Notes: Lily of the Valley, Mimosa, Peony, Jasmine.
Base Notes: Sandalwood, Vanilla, Musk, Milk, Brown Sugar.
This review is primarily for the body mist although I also own the EdT. The EdT is less sweet than the body spray. I blindly purchased the bath gel, body mist, lotion, and body cream after reading reviews and studying the notes, and I layered them for fantastic longevity--12 to 14 hours easily. Projection and sillage are moderate+ on me.
Aside from B&BW fragrances themselves, B&BW's forte is making the matching products for layering. I love using the shower gels and then layering the body sprays and body cremes, and I find that they are pretty uniform in fragrance one to the next. I find the entire experience sensuous and aesthetically pleasing.
I love Cashmere Glow. It is probably my second favourite B&BW fragrance after Sensual Amber. It is soft, sweet, and cuddly. Cashmere Glow, like Sensual Amber, is pleasing from the top notes to the deep dry down. I perceive delicious guava, berries, and apricot upon application. Then, I detect a sweet, delicious mimosa note that lingers and lingers. The deep dry down is a soft, warm, and cushy bed of sandalwood, vanilla, and musk with overtones of sweet milk and brown sugar. Heavenly!
Like Sensual Amber, Cashmere Glow is gourmandy, and whilst I definitely see it as a splendid Autumn/Winter fragrance, I think it can also be worn in spring and summer if applied with a light to medium-light hand. I always spray quite generously even in warm weather because I am mostly indoors, and at this price point, why not? Sadly, Cashmere Glow has been relegated to on-line purchase only, but at least it is still available. I for one hope B&BW will always make it available.
These scores are within the B&BW family of scents. They are not meant to be compared to the same type of scored given to a Guerlain or a Chanel for example.
Fragrance: 8.5/10
Projection: 8/10
Sillage: 8/10
Longevity: 6/10
Longevity: 10/10 whence layered with the matching shower gel and body cream and/or lotion.
