Cashmere is a key compound in modern perfumery, essential for creating distinctive fragrances. Despite its names like Cashmere Wood, Cashmere Musk, or Blond Woods, it is a synthetic molecule introduced in 1968 by John Hall of IFF. Its scent is complex, featuring musky and woody undertones with rich spicy, balsamic vanilla, coniferous, and fruity notes. The name reflects its aroma’s resemblance to the softness of cashmere wool. When combined with vanilla, it enhances bitter, amber, and woody notes, creating a warm and sensual atmosphere. A fragrance like Cashmeran Vanilla by Alyssa Ahsley creates an sense of mystery around the person wearing it.
