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!
