I think this one is so soft that it gets to soft..very easy,light,powdery smell.Great if you dont want to stand out to much.The name suits the smell perfectly,when you smell it you think of something soft and white..

Soft, powdery, feminine and discreet. This is a good daytime fragrance. I smelled it first from my mom, who'd been given it as B-Day gift. For me, this is a love/hate fragrance because you either love it or you hate it. I'm kind of in between about the scent. It's not disagreeable or unpleasant, I'm not totally wowed about it, but it's pleasant. If given to me as a gift I'd still wear it, but I probably won't purchase it again for myself. Maybe it doesn't go well with my body chemistry. Then again, I'm usually attracted to heavier/sweet/floral scents. I think it's worth a try.

To me this perfume smells warm and cozy yet fresh and clean at the same time. Maybe that's why I like (and bought) it. It's unusual for me to like perfumes that smells strongly of vanilla and/or "baby powder" which, to me, this perfume seems to smell a lot like. However, as others here have said, this scent just seems so nurturing and motherly, so comforting. Even though it also strikes me as an ultra feminine scent (which I usually don't like), it is not overly sweet. I agree with whoever said this is scent is "cute". To me this is a cozy and loveable scent.
Oh, and I can totally smell the suede. Not so much the jasmine, however. This does not really strike me as a floral perfume, not when it's on me, at least.

I bought this based on so many good comments. I bought it unsniffed, and I think I am not that kind of person who like something too feminine...I don't think it's soft, in fact it's sharp white floral scent. It's just too sharp and I resist to smell myself after I put it on...I admit it's kinda clean smell but I don't really like it.

i think this perfume is worth buying and wearing it, it's so powdery and soft oh and it's very musky super duper classy for mostly any age

I have wanted this fragrance for years. I've tried it so many times at the counter in the department store I'm afraid they know what I want when I come over. I did get a small sample jar of the body lotion or body cream. It does not have quite the same mmmmmmm as the spray. My husband does not like it. Even though it has amber in it, it is not overpowering for me.

thanks Ester, Fairylight7 and APassionateJourney for clearing that up for me i thought i was way off.

This fragrance did not launch in 04. I wore it when I lived in Greece- that was 2000.
Anyway, to any British fans of this fragrance; Marks and Spencers 'Autograph New York' is a cheaper smell-a-like.
Lovely powdery feminine scent.

Mimzy, I think you may. Have had either the EDT or the EDP. The newer version of it came out in 04'. Can't remember if it was EDT or EDP.
This stuff STINKS! It smells like Hair Grease or engine oil

Even though I love powdery scents this one gave me a massive headache.No, not for me.

Cashmere mist was one of my very first perfumes. Even though it was too mature for me at the time. I still enjoyed the smell of it. Went through two bottles My only thing is did it really launch 2004 because i wore it as a sophomore in high school and that was 2001? Curious. A nice woody powdery scent.

I’m on the fence with CASHMERE MIST. It’s feminine, light & easy to wear; it can be worn to work, on the weekends with jeans & for evenings out.
This is a softly spoken floral scent that is quite soapy on first application. The base is a clean wood & musk blend.
The bottle is pretty, plus the staying power is very good. Also, the price is reasonable.
But, good points aside, there is nothing unique about CASHMERE MIST that would make me want to re-buy it. It would be a good choice for a gift, as it’s not disagreeable & it is good for all ages.

I was surprised to see Suede listed as an ingredient - I suppose that means a soft leather smell - but I smelled none of that. Rather, on me it is soft and powdery, wonderfully warm and comforting. Wearing it truly feels like getting out of a warm bath, and wrapping myself in the softest, thickest white terrycloth bathrobe. I think this is a winter scent, for cozy nights staying in, sipping a cup of hot cocoa by the fire.
I hope to add it to my collection by next winter.

A soft, powdery musk with touches of florals. Pretty, easy to wear. Fine for work in small doses.

ive just tried it, and i liked it, its a light and seductive and sweet type of oriental floral scents

Paint stripper. I can't believe that a perfume with floral top notes I personally adore can hit me so hard between the eyes within 10 seconds of putting it on. It must be something about my skin because it smelt lovely on paper, tender and warm. On me it was just boltingly ugly; I suppose I should have been impressed by its staying power. Right now I have washed it off with an unscented soap, and it lingers yet, base notes threatening attack. Horrible.

I love love love it. Bought it today after wanting it for a while and I think It's one of the most seductive fragrances I ever had. Seductive because the scent is warm, sweet and intriguing. It is alluring and you want to get closer to the scent. There is a lot going on here but in a soft, perfect balanced way. Still it is also working well daytime as it is mild. In conclusion; it is a favourite!

It smell very soft and slightly sweet on me. It does smell a bit like baby powder, but is much richer and warmer. I do wish it didn't stay so close to my skin and left more of a trail.

This is such a rich, powdery and sexy soft fragrance that I'm surprised not many people like it. It reminds me of a super expensive cashmere sweater for some reason. When I put it on, I can't stop smelling myself. Sometimes simple scents with not alot of notes are the best. To me this fragrance says "Here I am" "I'm not complicated, I just am"
10/28/08 10:36:05
This is powdery, soft, feminine, subtle, discreet... I think its one of the most cute fragrances that i could remember. Maybe is possible this dislikes some people... a girl at the store, did comment to me: "yaaaaaakkk its not for me"... But, i think it's an interesting scent ... And condensed milk is an interesting description Malegria jajaja

At first, when I tried it, I was feeling a little nauseated and could not belive anyone can like it. It smelled like some kind of chemical or the roach poison to me...But I did not want to give up so fast - the lady who sent me a vial, gave her best reviews and I wanted to know if there is a teeny tiny reason why.I am so glad I did not go to wash it off right away...It is so nice on me - like a soft baby powder, and as Tangledvines wrote - milk, which I like. More like condenced milk, of course. There is something motherly about this perfume,it hugs you and warms you up - may be that`s why my children loved it!
Finally I got it for myself, and this time it was EDT concentration, not EDP. Let me tell you - this version does not have such a sharp opening, but also it has a little less personality that attracted me so in EDP.

I thought this smelled a little too "milky" on me.
09/22/08 01:27:31
...very sexy, and romantic...I receive a lot of compliments on this fragrance from men and women...it has a great smell that last all day...
09/21/08 10:45:07
like 'italian girl' I find it suprisng people have been giving this scent such bad reviews. It is a exotic, warm, scent that isnt overly decadent and can be easily for casually; it can be dressed up for the evening as well. If you don't like powdery drydowns then this isnt for you, but in my opinion, this scent is absolutely gorgeous! One of my favorites.
09/19/08 19:08:49
I owned this awhile back, but ended up giving it away. It's OK...but it's mostly all "powder". I didn't find any depth with this one.
08/24/08 06:48:14
I love it! I'ts been my favourite for years. Suits any occasion, very feminine but not too overpowering. I get compliments wearing it. This one's a classic to me!
08/02/08 02:33:18
I am so surprised to hear that this perfume did not work on a few bloggers. Cashmere mist is one of the few perfumes I CAN wear. I get compliments EVERY time I wear this. It smells very posh on me. I also think it can be worn at the office, but with a change of clothes can be a little sexy. Wow.. how interesting people's sense of smell is..
02/12/08 19:09:52
With my chemistry Cashmere Mist smells like very weak baby powder mixed with black licorice. It has no substance, it smells cheap on me. I just don't feel luxurious or 'cashmere' when I wear this one. Not me at all.
01/17/08 18:38:37
I think it smells awful. It's strong and I would imagine the lasting power, great. But by "great" -- I mean bad. As in, this is too strong. It smells of just alcohol to me. Perhaps with a very, VERY subtle hint of amber.
10/20/07 16:45:49
This is a very good daytime, professional fragrance. I can wear it to the office and it is light enough not to offend. Very clean scent, almost reminds me of linen.
