Liquid Cashmere Blush
by Donna Karan
Liquid Cashmere Blush is a soft, feminine floral with a delicate aldehydic opening that evokes the feeling of a fresh rose petal floating in a cloud of white powder. The fragrance unfolds with bright citrus and mandarin orange, quickly giving way to a heart of jasmine, rose, and lily-of-the-valley, creating a quietly elegant and serene aura. It settles into a clean, musky warmth with subtle woodiness and a faint hint of vanilla-like sweetness, making it feel both grounded and refined. The scent is notably soft in projection and longevity—moderate at best—and lacks strong sillage, making it ideal for daytime wear when a touch of quiet beauty is desired. It has a light, innocent, almost innocence-of-rose lyrical quality, reminiscent of vintage powder bath or delicate skincare products, and it resonates strongly with skin-scent lovers who appreciate understated elegance.
