Cashmere & Palo Santo
Donna Karan Cashmere & Palo Santo is an eau de parfum with a woody, softly sweet character and a warm, enveloping feel that suggests a soft cashmere shawl. It opens on a juicy note of peach, lifted by bright citrus and fruity touches, before settling into a heart where labdanum and a cashmeran accord add depth, powdery softness and balsamic warmth.
Vanilla runs through the base, sweetening the woods and giving the scent a creamy, comforting finish. Palo Santo contributes an aromatic edge to the woody core, which keeps the sweetness from feeling heavy. The overall effect is calm and introspective rather than loud, suited to those who prefer understated elegance.
On skin, the fragrance tends to sit close, with moderate sillage that is noticeable up close and generally carries across a small room. Longevity is also moderate, and it usually lasts through a working day, with the vanilla warmth lingering toward the end.
Its versatility is one of its strengths. It suits casual days, professional settings and nights out, and it can be worn in every season, feeling particularly cosy in cooler months and still balanced in warmer weather. Presented as an eau de parfum in a 100ml bottle from Donna Karan, launched in 2024.
