Cashmere & Palo Santo

Let me preface by saying the hype is well deserved! Like this is so amazing for being designer. Not only is the bottle serving luxury but the juice within is damn good!! However I will say upon first sniff I noticed a major similarity at least to me and on my skin. The sugar beach aspect in this reminds me a lot of BonBon Pop from THOO because I own that and love it down but in that fragrance I get a ton of fresh peach and a bunch of brown sugar which is delicious it’s perfection and in the beginning sprays I got almost the same type of smell in my scent bubble wafting from my skin but as it’s had time to sit there are more noticeable differences now. I still think it’s in the same close family as BonBon Pop but now that the cashmere and palo santo have become more prominent I’m getting more than just that sugared peach vibe don’t get me wrong the sugary peach is still prominent but there’s a lot of palo santo especially mixed in then there’s some cashmere flirting around in the base that really make the fragrance overall a less sweet experience than BonBon Pop which I like because it makes it more wearable for all year round or wearing it to work. It’s a solid every day and even signature scent because it’s that good. I love peach in fragrances especially when there’s a sugary aspect and a woody base. Most of my sweet fragrances need a woody base to simmer them down some and that’s what I personally enjoy. At first I almost felt it was redundant to own both but I’m glad I didn’t get rid of the DK because now I get more of those differences and for me I do need both because they fit different vibes and occasions.

This perfume is the bomb. First, it’s a strong one. Second, this is what By the Fireplace should’ve been. This perfume smells expensive. It smells like an older, sexy sophisticated woman that wears a lot of Carolina Herrera. It’s smooth, chocolatey, smokey, yet extremely refined. It smells like a sexy, campfire. However, it has more depth to it. It smells very mysterious and dark to me and that’s why I love it. It’s very mysterious in a sensual, refined, and elevated way. If you can’t handle By the Fire Place or Angel or BR540 (I can’t lol) then this fragrance will be perfect for you. Smokey, sweet, and complex enough without leaning into masculine-scented territory.

Oh my god?! This was definitely a love at first sniff for me. I’ve been wanting this fragrance since last fall/winter but never got my hands on it. Anyways, I just tried it on me for the first time and I am NOT disappointed! This was everything I wanted MFK Gentle Fluidity Gold to be; a spicy, sexy, mature yet cozy vanilla. It gives off sitting in front of a fireplaces, wearing an expensive cashmere sweater, ready to have a fancy dinner. It’s luxurious and incredibly cozy at the same time. Definitely both everyday- and special occasion-friendly! I’ll update about the longevity.

I get zero peach from this, didn’t even know it was a not. Just a lovely blend of cashmere, palo santo and a hint of vanilla but I love that it’s not very sweet. This was a blind buy because I was curious about the cashmere and palo santo combo and it instantly became a love for me. It’s comforting, cozy, a beautiful cold weather fragrance. Truly unisex imo. There’s something about it that makes me introspective and reflect on things, I’m not sure what it is, but that’s what I love about perfume - it’s not just about lovely scents, it’s also about the emotions they evoke.

The fragrance left a pleasant impression with its warm, enveloping composition. It exudes a languid and beautiful aroma, creating an atmosphere of comfort and mystery. The leading role here is played by palo santo—woody, slightly resinous, with a subtle smoky nuance that adds depth and character. Vanilla in the base softens the composition, giving it sweetness, but not cloying—rather refined and harmonious. Peach at the opening adds a delicate fruity juiciness, while cashmere wood and labdanum in the heart make the scent soft and slightly balsamic.
