Black Cashmere

Black Cashmere, a Spicy Woody Warmth

Black Cashmere earned a devoted following for its soft, spicy comfort. Our version keeps that feel, opening with clove, pepper, and saffron before settling into a smoky, woody base of sandalwood, wenge wood, and amber.

The Story Behind the Scent

DKNY built Black Cashmere as a warm, unisex spice scent, the fragrance equivalent of a cashmere wrap. It was never loud or flashy. Its appeal was in how soft and enveloping it felt, like comfort you could wear.

That quiet warmth is why it became a cult favourite and why fans were disappointed when it was discontinued. It balances spice, incense, and wood without ever tipping into harshness. Our interpretation keeps that same cosy, mysterious character alive.
