Perfect Scents Fragrances | Impression of Donna Karan's Cashmere Mist | Women’s Eau de Toilette | Vegan, Paraben Free, Phthalate Free | Never Tested on Animals | 2.5 Fluid Ounces

smells just like the real stuff, but affordable

I ordered Perfect Scents' version of Cashmere Mist on July 14 and received it on July 16 (a day before the estimated delivery date).I tested Donna Karan's Cashmere Mist (EDP) years ago and absolutely loved it. I didn't purchase it then since it was pricey. I have a few of her other fragrances that were more within my price range since I bought them on sale.I had forgotten about this fragrance until I saw Perfect Scents' dupe and decided to try it. I'd have nothing to lose if it didn't work out since it cost me less than $10.I am really impressed by and love this fragrance. It comes very close to the real thing with the exception of longevity. Both Karan's EDT and EDP have much better longevity. With this one, re-application at some point during the day is necessary to improve and extend its performance (depending on your body chemistry. Not everyone should respray fragrances, especially floral, powdery ones).I typically never re-spray perfumes since they change over the course of the day and can transform into something unpleasant, especially when sprayed on the skin. This fragrance doesn't change (not on me anyway). So when I re-sprayed it, it maintained the same freshness.Here's something to note: I didn't respray because I needed to. I did so just to see if it would maintain the same freshness the second time around after it dries down. It did.I sprayed this fragrance on my pulse points and my top. It became a lovely, warm, clean skin-scent in about 2 hours. I can still smell it on my top 4 hours later (though not as strong as when I first sprayed it). All this to say, use a light hand with this fragrance because it has the capacity to overwhelm.Just like the authentic CM, this fragrance is powdery and warm and you can detect the woody notes in the dry-down.Like many other people, I despise powdery perfumes intensely (especially when combined with jasmine), which is why I almost passed this one by. But the powdery note in Perfect Sense's CM is very well balanced with the other notes, including jasmine, so the powdery note doesn't overwhelm.This also has a soapy smell-- so it's perfect to use right after a shower on clean, moisturized skin. Again, this is a good reason to use a light hand with this or the authentic Karan flankers. Perfumes that have a combination of soapy, powdery and floral/citrus notes can be a huge miss when over-sprayed since they become cloying and monstrous especially in warm/hot weather.Perfect Scent's CM is sensual and clean, with a warm, creamy dry-down. I doubt this will last beyond the summer as I find myself wanting to use it more than my other fragrances.While this is best suited for warm/hot weather, I can see myself using it year-round, including gloomy winter months when I need something to lift my mood.This was a blind-buy since I've never heard of or tried products by this brand, and I am very impressed. This will be a repurchase for me.

Tried this for the first time and I am very satisfied. I like the soft summer fragrance. Received quite a fewcompliments that the scent was refreshing.

I would definitely purchase again

I used to buy the real expensive cashmere mist until I found out I could buy this brand for way less & it smells great! I would recommend this perfume.

I don’t know why there’s reviews stating that the Cashmere Mist dupe doesn’t have smell longevity, but y’all are crazy, nose blind, or both. I sprayed the perfume on me 24 hours ago, both on my skin AND pajama shirt, to test it out. It STILL smells strong on my pajama shirt. My skin, no, but I took a shower(duh). This perfume, and the Black Opium, are my absolute new favorites. I’ve bought 2 bottles of the Cashmere and Black Opium, and I’m about to buy a 3rd of each 🤷🏼‍♀️.

Doesn't smell very much like Donna Karen's "Cashmere"

I have purchased this brand several times and loved it. I must have gotten a bad one this time. At first it's ok smelling (nothing like before), but once it settles it has a VERY bad smell! Someone else had mentioned that it smelled like Raid, I would have to agree to a point. The after smell does resemble the Raid that has a flowery smell to it. I guess I'll have to find another way to enjoy this perfume, I don't know that I want to spend another $10 to get the same bad smell. Very disappointed.
