Cashmere Kumquat Korres 2020 Eau de Toilette

If you like Alien and love floral, almond, and very soft powder then Cashmere Kumquat is a safe choice. It's an improved alien imo, a little lighter and a touch more fruity. It is white floral, warm cashmere, and has a note of citrus more prominent at the beginning, It's not an aggressive, fresh citrus-ness, but a more subtle one closer to orange but more aromatic bc of the kumquat, with an undertone of vanilla and almond. The cashmere fits perfectly as it is not a sharp citrus fragrance but very soft and warm.

If you are familiar with kumquat, it is not as aromatic as you might expect, it is, but not as much. I eat kumquat fairly often we make them into a desert and a liqueur, and it has a more complex smell than an orange. It is sweet and tart, which can come off as lemony, but not sharp, and has an aromatic quality that is reminiscent of pine. In this perfume, the aromatic tendency is not as prominent, but it also makes it much safer as a perfume. That being said I wouldn't call it boring, even though safer.

I love it..!
This is a lovely perfume that I recently discovered in the pharmacy of my neighborhood.
It opens with an orangy scent. After some minutes, I'm smelling a lovely warm almond scent and vanilla.
Reminds me of spring walks in roads full of orange blossoms.
Its so fresh and pleasant to smell. Not heavy in any case. I'm wearing it during all day. I think I prefer wearing it during warm weather.

I could say its perfect for this pocket-friendly price tag BUT...Oh I wish it would last longer!

If you grew up in the 80s/90s you might remember this perfume. My late father came back from a work trip and gifted it to me when I was around 12/13— I felt so sophisticated and grown up. I also remember receiving so many compliments. Cashmere Kumquat is definitely in the same family— sweet, creamy, warm vanilla with almond and thick orange blossom, it’s beautiful and comforting.

The opening reminds me strongly of Montblanc’s Signature but with a less sharp citrus opening. The dry down is very Jasmine and orange blossom heavy—this is not a sweet fragrance by any means. It is fresh, soft and heavily floral with a dose of freshness from the citrus.
This is not a groundbreaking scent and if you have Montblanc or really any kind of musk/cashmere with Jasmine, I would save your money.

That said, it is lovely and cozy and very smooth/well blended.

my most worn frag of this year and my new fav all-rounder, and only got it earlier this year.

though it’s mostly a citrus scent, the first thing that comes to mind about it is "creamy". quite surprising for a citrus scent but there is something so milky resulting from white florals, neither aggressive not bitter at all, but so cozy and soothing. i may be biased but the almond touch is the game changer, adding something powdery, juicy and gourmand to this tangy opening, erasing completely the natural bitterness of citruses. excellent.
