I found my favorite two years ago under the Christmas tree...but that is another story. When you love something, you love it with all its quirks, and my “favorite” reminded me of something I had smelled a long time ago. Through various research, I figured it out...driven, I went to the next opportunity to sniff; I had to know...and yes, it was the direct relative, of course “older” with more edges and not as cosmopolitan and refined as my favorite, but the mother version! Casmir is a beautiful vanilla scent; the coconut in the top note forms a lovely connection with the peach. The flowers in the heart are not so clear here, and the base is not so rounded, yet still beautiful. A 30 ml version was allowed to join my collection...not because I would wear it, no! So that the family can come together!
Yes, Cashmir, a sweet, lush oriental that I used to wear a lot in winter. I hardly use it anymore now. My fragrance taste has changed. I liked the old bottle. I assume the scent has been reformulated and is no longer as loud and cloying as it was in the 90s when everything smelled like vanilla and coconut. I still like the scent, but as a fragrance, not necessarily on me.
Now I'm curious about which scent your "favorite" is. If it smells similar to Casmir, I’m sure I’ll like it too. Casmir was my signature scent for a long time.
