What Does Cashmere Smell Like?

Even if you love how a cashmere sweater or a pair of gloves made from this soft material feels against your skin, you might not be sure what to expect from a fragrance called “cashmere.” The cashmere used to make garments and accessories is one of the most luxurious fabrics on the market. It is a type of wool that comes from the cashmere goats of the Gobi Desert. As a product that comes from animals, it has a natural, earthy aroma that some folks love and others do not particularly enjoy. 

So, what does Homesick’s version of cashmere smell like? Fortunately, the cashmere scents used in candles and other home fragrances do not smell like goats or their wool. Instead, they feature intoxicating warm notes paired with gentle, powdery base notes. These scents are perfect whether you’re looking for romantic date night candles or just looking to add some warmth and softness to your home.

What Cashmere Smells Like

Cashmere fragrances smell like cashmere fabric feels against your skin. These scents are soft and warm, with musky notes that hint at the utmost luxury and sophistication. Vanilla, patchouli and sandalwood base notes lay the foundation for top notes of lime, mandarin and musk. Combined, these fragrances form an elegant, classy scent that is equally suitable for romantic nights at home and relaxing spa days.

Scents That Pair Well with Cashmere

Cashmere is a unique and versatile scent that pairs well with many other fragrance notes. When combined with delicate florals, like jasmine and rose, it forms a romantic, feminine aroma. However, it works equally well with more masculine scents like leather, tobacco, teakwood and bourbon. Vanilla, tonka bean and herbal scents blend beautifully with the aromas of cashmere too.
