These Cashmere Perfumes Are the Equivalent of Quiet Luxury in a Bottle

Product Shot Image"I always thought powdery perfumes would make me smell like a grandma, but either I'm inching toward grandma status or Angel Dust by Fugazzi is built different. It's powdery but not from heavy florals. Instead, the scent combines a mix of skin-like cashmere, musk, and amber. It's soft and reminiscent of the inside of a knitwear shop.”—BETH GILLETTE, BEAUTY EDITORNotesCashmeran, white amber crystals, pepper“It’s hard to find a fragrance that straddles freshness and coziness, but this one does exactly that. Its moniker comes from a Brazilian Portuguese expression that describes the sensation of good vibes, happiness, and optimism, and it’s fair to say this perfume captures that sentiment perfectly. It oozes Brazilian warmth and sunniness and makes me want to book a trip to Rio.”—CELIA SHATZMAN, CONTRIBUTING WRITERNotesAldehydes, coconut water, incense, jasmine petals, milky musks, sandalwood, cashmere wood, salted amberAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below“I rely on body mists immediately after I get out of the shower to lightly fragrance my skin without feeling like too much. This one is my go-to right now (and the inspiration behind my current cashmere fragrance obsession). Even with nothing on (spicy!), my skin smells so toasty. It makes me want to immediately nuzzle into a plush robe.”—BGNotesAlmond, vanilla, ambrette“Unmute has a little bit of everything—juiciness from the plum note, spice from the cinnamon, musk from the amber, warmth from the sage, and sweetness from the pistachio—all wrapped in a cozy, comforting vanilla base. There’s something sexy and self-assured about the scent, without feeling too put-on or artificial.”—DANIELLE HARDMAN, CONTRIBUTING WRITERNotesPlum, cinnamon, pistachio, amber, cashmeranAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below“Milky perfumes are my favorite category of fragrance lately, and this does the lactonic, creamy fragrance so well. It’s not too sweet or cloying; instead, it leans on resinous amber, oak, and tonka bean to balance the scent. It’s like sitting by a fire, wrapped in the softest knits.”—BGNotesCreamy milk, bergamot, jasmine milk, vanilla caviar, cashmere woods, amber, soft oak, tonka bean"I usually associate floral perfumes with spring and summer, but this one is undeniably perfect for cooler weather. Odéon is a smooth, rich rose scent, with a hefty dose of amber and cashmeran that gives it depth. It's inspired by Parisian cafe culture—and since I studied abroad there (hold the eyerolls), I feel qualified to say that this scent embodies the city’s romantic allure. It smells like window shopping in boutiques I can't afford and moonlit strolls along the Seine."—LAUREN GRUBER, COMMERCE EDITORNotesRose, dates, patchouli, cashmeran, amberAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below“It’s an icon for a reason! Cashmere Mist is the OG of cashmere scents—it’s musky, powdery, and creamy, with soft woods and airy florals. My aunt was obsessed with this perfume in my youth, and I remember sneaking sprays of it whenever I wanted to feel like a ~sophisticated lady~”—BGNotesLily of the Valley, Moroccan jasmine, sandalwoodBeth Gillette is the beauty editor at Cosmopolitan, where she covers skincare, makeup, hair, nails, and more across digital and print.
