Alien’s softer, Slightly Citrus Younger Sister
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.

Makes my day
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!

Fruity Almond-Jasmine, Fully Bloomed, in a Cashmeran Cloak
Korres was not a name I was familiar with for a long time. However, the brand truly creates high-quality, wonderful fragrances that admittedly often have a famous counterpart but do not need to hide behind it. I also stumbled upon the bottle of Cashmere Kumquat by chance and must admit I expected something completely different.

Fruity almond-jasmine fully bloomed in a cashmeran cloak. Soft, sexy, alluring, and yet cozy.
"Cashmere Kumquat | Korres" has a prominent counterpart. Alien Eau de Parfum! And yes, the scent smells very similar to Alien, but it lacks that dirty, dense, and strong almost hypnotic aura of Alien. Nevertheless, the Korres is just as sensual.

The southern fruits in the top note are present for a long time but are quickly underscored by cashmere and the enchanting blend of O-flower, jasmine, and almond.
The flowers, however, are not as dense as in Alien, which makes the scent much more suitable for everyday wear than its counterpart.
Almond here is not marzipan-sweet but has almost a green quality.
Cashmere makes the scent cozy soft and extremely pleasing. When the fine cedar-vanilla base sneaks in after 2-3 hours, you are enveloped in an exceedingly flattering aura.
The scent is definitely a compliment magnet.

For me, Cashmere Kumquat lasts a good 7 hours, and the cashmere-vanilla base is still slightly perceptible after 12 hours.
This results in a great price-performance ratio as the simple bottle (with an exceedingly ugly cap) can be obtained for a really small amount.

Anyone who finds Alien too strong/dense should definitely give this one a try.

Powdery Delicious Kiss
Cashmere, almond, vanilla, and cedarwood - what could come of this??? A very powdery, feminine, and delicious kiss. In the background, I perceive subtle herbal traces, but nothing bitter, rather leaning towards aromatic. The fruity components blend very pleasantly with this powdery body and soul caresser. A truly exquisite symbiosis. I see the scent as more aligned with femininity, but who knows, or what does it matter... everything goes for everyone!
This very gentle and gourmand companion is suitable for summer at 35 degrees and for cuddling in cold -10 degree winter weather. It is physically very close to you and only reveals itself when you come very, very close. The skin smells lovely - tender - with a little secret (the herbs?). Longevity is around 4-6 hours, and it only makes a pleasant impression. Beautiful simple amber-colored glass bottle with a great price of 35 euros. This company should be taken seriously - great products and prices.
I just thought of something else: I find this perfume somehow fluffy-soft.

Sweet Summer Mood
The scent:
Creamy, sweet citrus fruits open the fragrance. Then come summer flowers, a mild almond note, and a vanilla base. Cashmere smells cozy and light. The progression is quite linear. Overall, the scent is very soft and pleasing. I was surprised that many classify it as an autumn/winter fragrance, because although it smells sweet and dessert-like, for me it is clearly a summer scent. It smells like dessert on a sunny terrace. I love vanilla-tonka scents and have been searching for a summer fragrance that fits my preferences. With Cashmere Kumquat, I have found it.

Longevity/Sillage:
Unfortunately, the scent does not last very long on me. In the first 1-2 hours, it projects quite decently and I receive some "Mmmmm....". After that, it becomes a skin and T-shirt scent. After 4 hours, it is almost completely gone - except for the cashmere note. This elusive warm-soft-sweet note is still noticeable on the skin after 12 hours - but only with very close cuddling.

Bottle:
The bottle itself is very beautiful - simple and high-quality made of tinted glass. I find the label stylish. The spray head mists well. Unfortunately, the cap is terrible. White plastic and reminiscent of a toothpaste cap.

Price/Performance:
I bought my 50 ml bottle for 40 euros at the local cosmetician. There are cheaper prices online. If the longevity were better, it would be a solid 10 for price/performance, because it is not only a wonderful scent that really fills a gap in my collection (gourmand summer fragrance), but it is also high-quality natural cosmetics. According to Codecheck, there is nothing to criticize about the ingredients, and the components are sourced ecologically and fairly according to the manufacturer.

Creamy almond combined with jasmine, whose minimal indolic, coupled with woody notes, gives the fragrance a special character.

This is one of my favourite budget scents. It's sweet, fresh and feels like cosy cashmere sweater. Luxury on a budget.

Fresh-fruity-creamy medley. Exhaustingly sweet, oppressively synthetic. Off to the sink.

Things I wanted to smell: Kumquat. Things I don't smell: Kumquat.
Smells to me like a slightly softer alien.

Alien Essence Absolue is that you?
A great cheapie that comes close to the beautiful Alien, which unfortunately has been discontinued.
