Cashmere Kumquat
by Korres
A soft, warm, and comforting fragrance with a fresh citrus opening that quickly evolves into a delicate balance of white florals, creamy cashmere, and vanilla. It carries a light, musky quality that feels gentle and clean, akin to wearing a cozy, elegant sweater or fresh-from-the-shower glow. The kumquat and mandarin notes are faintly present at first but fade quickly, giving way to jasmine and orange blossom, which form the core of the scent. The cashmere wood base adds a subtle, soapy warmth without being overpowering. While it lacks high projection and moderate longevity, it persists well on fabric and lingers in quiet, pleasant whiffs throughout the day and night. It's especially suited for spring and autumn, offering a subtle, non-intrusive presence that feels easygoing and harmonious. A comforting, safe choice for those who love the soft elegance of Alien but seek a lighter, more natural interpretation that prioritizes quiet luxury over drama.
