Fragrance Pyramid
Olfactive Character
Dry cedarwood given a velvety, almost fabric-like softness by cashmeran. The combination reads as modern and refined. Less austere than cedarwood alone, with a gentle, enveloping warmth.
Origin & Harvest
Cedarwood is steam-distilled from wood (see Cedarwood entry). Cashmeran is a synthetic molecule (DPMI) developed by IFF in 1973. The accord blends natural and synthetic materials for a contemporary effect.
Key Molecules
Cedrol from cedarwood provides the woody backbone. DPMI (cashmeran) adds the distinctive musky, slightly spicy softness. Together they create a smooth, tactile woody accord.
Safety & Regulation
Both components are well characterised and compliant with IFRA guidelines. Cashmeran has very low sensitisation potential. The accord is suitable for use in fine fragrance.
In Perfumery
Cashmeran-cedarwood blends are a modern staple. Found in compositions by Maison Francis Kurkdjian and Byredo. The accord suggests expensive textiles and quiet luxury. In KIDA KYO, it forms part of our woody base.
History
Cashmeran was patented by IFF in 1973 and quickly became one of the most successful synthetic musks. Its combination with cedarwood became a signature of 21st-century niche perfumery.
