Raw Materials - Cashmeran
Cashmeran (or cashmere wood or Kashmir wood) is a synthetic fragrance ingredient widely used in perfumery for its unique and complex scent profile. It was first developed by International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF) back in the 1970s and is known for its warm, woody, and musky aroma with a spicy undertone. Cashmeran is often described as having a "soft" or "velvety" quality, reminiscent of the feel of cashmere fabric, which is where its name originates.
In fragrances, this popular synthetic accord has a diffusive warm woody musky amber scent, reminiscent of that wool. Cashmeran adds depth and texture, creating a smooth and comforting base that can enhance and round out other notes. It is versatile and blends well with a variety of other ingredients, from florals to spices to woods. Cashmeran is commonly found in woody, oriental, and musky fragrances, where it contributes a cozy, sophisticated warmth that is both modern and timeless.
Smelling Cashmeran: It’s like stepping into a sun warmed, wood-paneled room on a crisp cool day. The scent is rich and woody, with a musky undertone that feels rugged yet polished. I personally call this a clear, or white, wood type of smell. There's a good amount of spice too, sharp, giving it an edge, adding a layer of character, like the lingering scent of a leather jacket after a night out. It’s smooth and grounded, wrapping around me with the same confidence and comfort as a well-worn coat, strong yet refined.
