Cashmere Kumquat

Cashmere Kumquat is a soft citrus-wood from the Greek brand Korres, released in 2020 and worn by anyone. People describe it as woody and citrusy in equal measure, and most also find it gourmand and floral.

Kumquat, mandarin and orange open it with a sweet, slightly bitter citrus brightness, the kumquat adding a tangy, peel-like edge that is sharper than ordinary orange. Orange blossom and jasmine form a light floral heart, honeyed and creamy, and almond adds a soft, marzipan-like sweetness that bridges the flowers and the base. That base is cashmere wood and cedar, the cashmere wood smooth, warm and slightly musky, the cedar drier, with vanilla rounding everything into a gentle, comforting finish.

It is a versatile scent that suits daytime and the milder seasons, fresh at the start and cosy by the end, and it fits anyone who likes citrus that settles into soft wood rather than vanishing. Those fond of orange blossom and almond together should find it quietly pleasing.
