You're Gonna Be Sorry You Did That!
Whoever decides to put those little fragrance samples in flyers and mail them out into the universe...this is dedicated to you! I just got Liquid Cashmere in my Macy's catalog and I am going to have to put my dainty little foot down! Whose idea was it to foul that smooth gentle blushing orignal Cashmere Mist with a bitter Cyclamen note that literally bites me in the nose? Gack. The original Cashmere Mist was a spontaneous make-over splendid world-is-your-oyster vacation purchase for me back in Grad school- which really helped me to assert my femininity and get out from under both a bad relationship and a cloud of "Halston for Her" and "Joy" by Patou- the latter, while iconic was a bit too much for meboth Psychically and psychologically, at that time. Cashmere Mist is just that- Fluffy, puffy, hopeful, smooth and comforting. It hasn't really been replicated - up until I discovered that Penhaligon's "Artemesia" was quite similar- not sure which came first. Cashmere Mist can't really be improved upon either, IMHO. So this whole array of flankers from the house of DKNY that slap synthetic apples with some cloying, sticky sweet caramel and synth musk is just like the commercials that fill dead space in between each glorious episode of "Being Human" (the BBC versio, of course). Anyway, what Liquid Cashmere provides is an amped up bluetooth, smartphone, digital tech-savvy edgy version of Cashmere Mist...call me resistant to change-I am not into it. Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez are quoted in their Perfume review book as saying that "Nahema" by Guerlain is a "Digital Rose". Liquid Cashmere is sort of melting, burning electrical components with tender, innocent Cashmere Mist on them..."Digital Cashmere", if you will. This is sort of what I imagine happens when Cashmere Mist is sprayed on to cover-up the funky evidence of a night of clubbing in a place on the wrong side of town, that still allows public smoking of cigarettes and some random dude who tried to 'get your digits', so he could text you & then spilled his Amaretto & Red Bull drink on your gorgeous vintage silk top. Another 'Control-Alt-Delete' moment for the modern woman.
