Meanwhile in the World of Donna Karen…..!

Every single year, like clockwork, when my sister’s birthday rolls around I get her one big gift and with that gift I also get her the biggest bottle of Donna Karen Cashmere Mist Perfume I can find. That would be the 6.7 oz bottle that Macy’s carries. Yes, 6.7 oz of fragrance that I almost convinced my sister bathes in because she seriously has very little left when I purchase it for her again for her next birthday. She’s either drinking it from the bottle, bathing in it, or she’s misting herself madly.

We all have a signature scent (I probably have too many of them). That one scent that evokes strong emotions in us, that scent that makes us happy, that scent that gives us confidence, that scent that makes us feel comforted…! We all just have that one fragrance that hits all the marks. For my sister, that would be Cashmere Mist.

Now, I’ve obviously caught the bug because when I started buying it for her many, many, many years ago I never really liked it. You see, my sister and I have a big age gap between us. One would never know this because we are the bestest friends and we act like children but she’s actually 12 years older than I am. That being said, when I started buying it for her my taste in perfume was all cotton candy gummy bear Bath and Body Works Sweet Pea….! I’ll be honest, when it comes to gourmands, my taste hasn’t changed much. I always felt like Cashmere Mist was a very mature scent but the several years I have become a covert to the religion of Cashmere Mist and I adore it. I’m either an old lady or this stuff just smells incredible and I never noticed. It really is such a smooth, gorgeous, comfy blanket sitting by the fire scent. It’s not intrusive, it smells clean and sophisticated, truly a gorgeous fragrance! I feel bad I missed out on enjoying it for many years because my nose wasn’t picking up on what my sister was loving about it.

Normally, when Nordstrom Anniversary sale rolls around I end up dropping some dough on Cashmere Mist because they end up doing some sort of cool gift set or offer up the trio of deodorants. I was pleasantly surprised that this year ulta.com has some deals on Cashmere Mist! You can save 25% on the complete line including the fragrance but most important, my fav product, the Cashmere Mist Deodorant! It’s now $24. Yesterday, it was showing out of stock but it popped back up and I grabbed two before it was gone again! It’s lovely stuff and well worth picking up if you love this scent!

Are you a Donna Karen Cashmere Mist fan?

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    I guess I’m like you in that I didn’t understand the hype for this fragrance until about two years ago. The deodorant is so good. I don’t think I’m going to pick up either set tomorrow, though.

    I also have a sibling who is quite a bit older (13 years apart).

      ME EITHER! I always thought it was an old lady scent but it isn’t it’s adorable! The deo really is awesome ;-D Oh my gosh cool 🙂 You’d never we had such a large age gap as we act like kids together 😀

    I wore it as my signature fragrance for several years but I got bored with it. I did love the deo/anti-perspirant then too but I only use a crystal deodorant now. I still have a perfume bottle left and I’m sure I will use it again sometime.

    Thanks for this review! I just recently purchased my first Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Deodorant and after reading this post I am really looking forward to using it. I won’t jump on the Nordstrom’s deal since I am fairly stocked on supplies right now.

    However, I have never tried her Cashmere Mist perfume but I am going to find a way to sample it, since I do love “old lady” scents like Guerlain’s Shalimar and L’Heure Bleue.

      let me know what you think 🙂 Def try it when you have a moment! It’s a lovely scent! 🙂 I def love “old lady” scents too! Have you tried Lush Ginger? It’s soooo good!

    I wore DK Black Cashmere and then they quit making it. Loved it back then but I think it’s too heavy for me now.
