by Demeter Fragrance
Kitten Fur by Demeter is a soft, powdery musk with a faintly sweet vanilla and milky undertone, evoking the cozy warmth of a clean, cuddly animal or a plush stuffed toy. The initial spray features a synthetic, slightly plasticky or soapy top note—reminiscent of men’s cologne or “new car scent”—which settles into a smoother, cleaner musk after 20–30 minutes. It is not animalic in the literal sense, nor does it smell like actual kitten fur, but rather conveys a gentle, comforting, and slightly imagined sense of cuteness—more a fantasy of kitten fur than an accurate representation. The scent is lightweight and intimate, projecting only a short distance; longevity is moderate on skin but can last longer on clothing. Many users describe it as akin to Donna Karan’s Cashmere Mist, Victoria’s Secret Dream Angels Heavenly, or the early version of that fragrance. It’s likened to wrapping yourself in a warm, soft blanket or a virgin sweater—ideal for quiet moments, lovers' embraces, or when seeking a sweet, non-intrusive scent. The fragrance excels when layered with other perfumes, acting as a subtle, creamy base that enhances the longevity and texture of more floral or gourmand scents. It’s best suited for daytime wear, especially in fall and winter, and appeals most to people who enjoy clean, powdery, gourmand musks with a hint of sweetness. Some find the opening too synthetic, while others embrace its playful, whimsical character. Though not for everyone, its affordability, quiet presence, and versatility make it a standout among Demeter’s range.
