What does Rêve de Cashmere smell like?

Bergamot and jasmine come first, then heliotrope, musk and cashmere wrap around them. Patchouli and vanilla form the base, so the scent settles into a sweet, floral and woody warmth, with spicy and leathery touches staying in the background.

Most voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. It leans towards fall and winter, with spring in third place. Evening is the most common occasion, though daytime and office wear also get votes. The feminine vote is slightly higher, but the masculine vote is strong too. Lalique Le Parfum and Krizia Krizia have a close profile.
