What Cashmeran smells like
Less a single note than a texture. Cashmeran sits between woods and musks: soft, warm and slightly powdery, with spicy, ambery and fruity facets that make a blend feel fuller and smoother.
It is diffusive and long-lasting (around 48 hours on a smelling strip), so a small amount carries through a formula from the heart to the dry-down.

How does ordering work?
Choose a size, add it to your cart and place your order. You will need a free account with a verified email address. Your order is marked Processing and a private chat opens on your order page. We confirm stock and the shipping cost, then send you payment instructions in that chat. Nothing is charged automatically when you place an order.
Should I buy crystals or the 10% dilution?
Choose the 10% in DPG solution if you are new to perfumery, want to smell and test it straight away, or work in small batches. It is liquid and ready to use. Choose pure crystals if you formulate regularly, want to control your own dilution, or need larger amounts. The neat material is often solid and needs gentle warming before you weigh it.
Why is my Cashmeran solid?
That is normal. Pure Cashmeran melts close to room temperature, so it is often a solid or semi-solid crystalline mass. Stand the closed bottle in warm water (about 40 °C) until it is liquid, then weigh it. Never use a flame or a microwave.
Do you ship to my country?
Enter your address at checkout and we will confirm shipping to your country, with the cost, before you pay. If we cannot ship there you pay nothing.
