Winter cashmere is rather silent. It is non-assertive, soft, warm, and confident. An appropriate perfume ought to portray the same mood as well. Heavy scents can overwhelm. Light ones may fade away too fast. The appropriate fragrance is placed near the skin and warms up gradually throughout the day. Woods, resins, spices, and other soft florals do better in cold air. They mix well with the layered clothes and the textured fabrics. This list aims at perfumes that are smooth and well-heeled. All of them supplement cashmere and do not compete with it. The objective is the harmony, coziness and sustainability of grace in winter days and evenings.
Chanel Coromandel
Coromandel combines patchouli and soft amber. The smell is cosy and smooth. It lies cold on the skin. In cashmere, it will give it a depth without making it heavy. It is great on winter days.
Dior Bois d’Argent
This scent is a mixture of iris, woods and soft incense. It is both sanitised and reassuring. The music remains intimate and elegant. Cashmere softens its edges. The combination of the two forms a cool winter atmosphere.
Hermès Eau des Merveilles
Eau des Merveilles is a combination of light woods, amber and citrus. It feels dry and elegant. Its odour is gradually formed in cool air. Cashmere maintains its warmth without altering its clarity.
Guerlain Shalimar Millésime
This interpretation of Shalimar is smoother and calmer. There is a restraint between vanilla and resin. It is also appropriate in winter. Cashmere renders its softness as opposed to richness.
Tom Ford Oud Wood
Oud Wood is polished and lacquered. The woods are not sharp but clean. Without weight, there is warmth. Cashmere is the complement of its texture. The combination is contemporary and somehow self-assured.
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Grand Soir
Grand Soir specialises in resin and amber. It unfolds slowly and evenly. The smell is very comforting on chilly nights. Cashmere mirrors its warmth. The outcome is relaxed but reflective.
Byredo Bibliothèque
The Bibliothèque is a blend of leather, fruit and woods. It feels intimate and calm. The perfume remains near the body. Cashmere is used to defend its softness and provide it with a light winter shape.
Le Labo Santal 33
Santal 33 is a light, spicy, dry wood. It has a steady presence. In winter, it feels grounded. Cashmere iron out its hemlines and maintains the smell all day long.
Amouage Reflection Man
Reflection Man is a combination of white florals and soft woods. The perfume is fresh and untamed. It works well in cooler air. A touch of cashmere lends softness to its oversized silhouette and hushed charm.
Jo Malone Myrrh and Tonka
This fragrance is like a mix of resin and sweetness. It is not heavy, and it is cosy. The scent lingers softly. Cashmere is a natural material that blankets warmth to the layers of winter dress.
Serge Lutens Chergui
Chergui is a mix of tobacco, honey and woods. The fragrance is coarse and dry. It grows gradually in cold climates. Cashmere balances out the composition and is added to keep it warm.
