Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Ultimate Body Collection

Cashmere Mist  is one of the top selling fragrances. It's widely loved and now there are several additions to the bodycare line called the Ultimate Cashmere Collection. All possess skincare  and or anti-aging benefits according to the company.  Naturally, they all also have that Cashmere Mist scent. These are a great way to layer your scent or wear it in a different way.

The line consists of :

Cashmere Mist Ultimate Sculpting and Firming Body Serum-$ 50.00

Cashmere Mist Ultimate Renewing Hand Treatment Creme $ 35.00

Cashmere Mist Ultimate Body Treatment Creme $ 60.00

Cashmere Mist Ultimate Moisturizing Bronzing Gelee $ 35.00

I particularly love the Bronzing Gelee. If you want instant tan, this does the job. It gives a medium- deep color with some shimmer and has lots of the Cashmere Mist scent. The Gelee is  very long lasting and transfer resistant.

The next favorite is the Hand Crème.  I think we all love a good hand cream, especially one that smells good  and this has plenty of moisture as well as using anti -aging spot/discoloration ingredients.

All of the Ultimate Cashmere Body Collection are LE and available now.

DKNY Delicious Candy Apples

DKNY's new Delicious Candy Apples fragrances are a sweet treat with no calories. These fun apple bottles even have their very own stick. There are 3 scents- Ripe Raspberry, Juicy Berry and Sweet Caramel.

Sweet Caramel- This reminded me a lot of the original Be Delicious. I didn't detect too much caramel, but if you love the originals and more aquatic florals, then this one will be for you.

Juicy Berry- This one was a surprise. I often don't like blackberry notes but this turned out to be a fun, fruity burst of berry. Black currant is also in there as well as lychee, so this one is a fruit salad of a scent. It may have a purple bottle but it bears little in common with De Delicious Night, also a blackberry based scent. That one was more gourmand and musky.

Ripe Raspberry- Not as raspberry as you'd think ( and I'm not a fan of raspberry either ). Lots of watery floral notes here and apple. Notes list lime and a cola accord. Not smelling those much but there is a hint of something sort of 7Up-ish that might be that cola note. Plenty of light woods in the drydown , and this ends up being a soft scent .

The Juicy Berry is my pick here. It was the least floral of the 3 and the most different from what the earlier ones smell like. I can't say enough about how cute the bottles are. Worth having one for that alone.

These hit Sephora.com & Sephora stores exclusively in January and are at http://www.dkny.com/ .

Retail is $ 55.00 for each 1.7 oz bottle.

Donna Karan New Cashmere Mist Luxe

Donna Karan's Casmere Mist is one of the more popular fragrances. In fact it's the 4th best selling one in the US acc. to NPD research.

It's a classic and now celebrating it's 15th anniversary. In honor of this there is a new version- Cashmere Mist Luxe.

The Luxe is just slightly different from the original. There is more emphasis on the aquatic notes and the florals of jasmine and ylang ylang. It's less powdery than the original to my nose. I like it better. Cashmere Mist is a big favorite of the Mom's , and she likes both.

Luxe will be launcing in stores in September .

You can check out all the ancillary products as well. I tried the deodarant/anti-persiprant and was pleasantly suprised. I didn't expect it to be as good as it was. It worked every bit as well as any strong drugstore brand and left just a light scent of the perfume.

Cashmere Mist Luxe is $ 48.00 ( 1.0 oz) and $ 70.00 ( 1.7 oz)

Cashmere Mist Deodarant/Anti-persiprant $ 18.00
