Cashmeran® Customer
Synonyms: Musk Indanone Classification: Base Note[i]
Cashmeran® has it all — fruit, florals, musk, wood and spice. It is one of the most interesting materials in the perfumer's palette and really quite indispensable these days. Fragrance marketers often refer to it as “Cashmere Wood” or “White Wood” but there is so much more to it.
Cashmeran® works from traces to overdose, as evidenced by the nearly 7% used in By The Fireplace (2015) by Maison Martin Margiela where it blends with Boisambrene Forte, Z11 and a massive 4% of Trimofix. A mere whisper exploits Cashmeran's fruity side in Tom Ford's Lost Cherry (2018), and we would be remiss not to mention the astonishing overdose of 25% found in Duro (2007) by Alessandro Gualtieri for Nasomatto where Spirambrene and an additional overdose of Javanol at 3.5% focus its woody energy.

Cashmeran delivers an exceptionally complex diffusive aroma combining warm sensuous musk with rich woody-spicy character, featuring distinctive ambery depth, subtle floral-fruity nuances, and a characteristic soft powdery-velvet texture reminiscent of luxurious cashmere fabric.
Versatile middle-to-base note providing warmth, sensuality, diffusion, and exceptional longevity across all fragrance families.

General Information
General Information
Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.
All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.
