Perfect Scents Fragrances, Inspired By Don.na Kar.an’s Cash.mere Mist

Great scentgoid

Alright so let me get this straight. I got two, the opium dupe and then this one (cashmere mist) . HOLY CASHMERE MIST SMELLS AMAZING!!!! don’t buy the opium one, if it’s in your card, remove it girl. Because it smells like straight grandmother (no offense) ANYWAY, I sprayed it on at 2pm and I fell in love right away. It’s currently 11 pm now when I write this review and I still smell it. It lasts forever on your clothes and hair unfortunately not on the skin. That’s more then I hoped for anyway, after I write this review I’ll buy another one to carry in my purse because it’s really just that good!!! BUY IT!!!

Great product for a fair price!

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.

Previously, I bought this at a local drug store until their prices went up and they stopped carrying this line. Then I found it at a major grocery/department store at a good price, but availability was a problem. Then I found it on Amazon where the price was the best, the selection of scents was wonderful. It comes packaged suitable for gifting, is safely wrapped for shipping. The scents are close to the originals, fooled several of my friends with the Cashmere and White Diamonds. And the scent lasts all day. Great value!

It's ok. I thought it'd be more strong. More floral and musk. I understand this is an impression scent I need to revisit what the original smells like. I feel like I was in a wall greens once smelled this and liked it but all they had was the tester?? So I bought this and thought I'd like it it's not bad but it's got a ... somewhat Lysol smell I mean yes , I'd describe it as fresh and clean. A white musk/floral ... But it's a type of perfume you spray it and it's gone less than 5 minutes later most of the time or you must over spray it to layer it. It's by far not the worst impression scents I've bought but I can't rate it higher because I think though it's not a bad scent I didn't think it suited me and the longevity isn't there for me either. I think it's comparable to sea island cotton but more musk dryer.

It’s a great value for an every day scent

Angel has been my signature scent ever since it first came out more than 20 years ago. But unless someone gives a bottle to me as a gift, it's pretty pricey considering how much I go through. But I stumbled upon a tester of this at my local CVS drug store and was surprised by the quality - definitely the best "imposter" scent ever (which may explain why no bottles were to be had locally, only the tester). I applied this to one wrist and the real Angel to the other to compare the two, which are virtually identical. At the end of the day. If you are looking to save some money but still like the scent of Angel, this is a great option.
