Summary

Cashmere & Vanilla Essence is a warm powdery vanilla balanced by violet, soft woods and a subtle spicy-fruity opening. Pink pepper adds a gentle sparkle while apple gives the composition a fresh, lightly sweet lift. Violet and jasmine create a smooth floral center, with violet contributing much of the fragrance’s powdery softness. Vanilla bean, sandalwood and golden amber make the drydown creamy, warm and quietly enveloping rather than sharply gourmand.
