Description
“The Illuminum collection is for those days when you are in the mood for something exquisitely simple and stylish.”—Michael Boadi. The collection embraces 16 fragrances categorized in four olfactory groups (citrus, floral, oud and musk). Each group consists of four scents, while each of the fragrances contains eight carefully selected ingredients.
Cashmere Musk opens with green notes and coconut. The heart features hyacinth on the base of amber, musk and cashmere.
It is available in bottles of 50 and 100 ml.
In addition to creating the composition, Michael Boadi designed all the packaging as well as the logo and the branding.
Cashmere Musk was launched in 2011.

It’s a fairly simple fragrance, yes … but very beautiful and well built. At first, I feel very strongly the smell of coconut, but after a few minutes, the floral bouquet opens beautifuly. The main player is a warm, slightly fluffy and delicate hyacinth.

I had higher hopes for this fragrance. I succumbed and bought Gardenia White Petals and was surprised by how much I loved it. Wish I could say the same for Cashmere Musk. May as well have sprayed myself with plain water. There is the merest hint of musk but it was so fleeting that I blinked and it was gone.
I think the statement of wanting something simple was a cop-out by the perfumer. This is so simple it is non existent.
Not worth a 1ml decant let alone a 50ml bottle.
I know everyone is different but if like me you have a tendency for perfumes to fade quite quickly don’t waste much time on this one. There are other ‘simple’ fragrances that still give you value for money and are much cheaper.

Pretty, polite, simple… these are the words for describing CM. The hyacinth here doesn’t recall at all other perfumes, like Bas de Soie or Chamade, built around this note. These two have cold and proud aroma. The combination of hyacinth with coconut smells soft and sweet and remembers me a lot of Lily of the Valley.
The silage is small and longevity is about 4 hours.
MashaUdalova – :
When I think about green florals with a big hyacinth note, what immediatly comes to mind is Le Temps D’Une Fete and Paco Rabanne’s Metal or, for other aspects, Chamade. Cashmere Musk shares with the aforementioned fragrances a huge green floral presence but, unfortunately lacks all the rest. Mediocre.
