{10} Cachemire — a musky-woody story by alchemist
{10} Cachemire Eau de Parfum is a unisex fragrance from the Indonesian brand alchemist, launched in 2024.
The composition belongs to the Les Classiques collection and combines floral, musky and woody notes.
This is a distinctive fragrance for those who enjoy noticeable scents with a soft, sensual texture.
The fragrance’s character and mood
The name Cachemire evokes the feeling of cashmere softness, but the composition is not limited to tranquil comfort.
It features juicy fruity freshness, spicy warmth, airy florals and a deep musky-woody drydown.
Thanks to this contrast, the fragrance feels both comfortable and striking, while its unisex character allows it to develop differently on men’s and women’s skin.
The Eau de Parfum has a very powerful sillage, so {10} Cachemire is noticeable from the very first minutes and maintains a strong presence around the wearer for a long time.
The fragrance is especially suitable for cool weather, evenings, meetings and events where you want to leave a memorable impression.
In warm weather, it is best applied with particular restraint so that its rich character remains elegant.
How the composition unfolds
The opening greets you with a vivid combination of apple, cinnamon and pink pepper with a berry nuance.
The fruity juiciness quickly gains a spicy accent, making the beginning lively, energetic and slightly piquant.
Then ambrette, rose and violet emerge at the heart: the floral accord becomes softer and deeper, taking on a distinctive musky roundness.
In the base, the composition gradually moves toward Virginia cedar and musk. The woody nuances add a dry structure, while musk makes the aftertaste smoother, more skin-like and longer-lasting.
As a result, the fragrance leaves a dense, clean and sensual trail in which floral transparency blends with a warm woody foundation.
The perfumer and the fragrance’s place in the brand’s style
{10} Cachemire is credited to Paul Guerlain.
His work is reflected in the effort to build the composition around a striking contrast: a fresh fruity top gradually gives way to a floral heart before dissolving into a rich musky-cedar base.
For the young Indonesian brand alchemist, this release demonstrates an interest in classic perfumery structure, reinterpreted through a modern unisex character.
Wearability and similar fragrances
No precise recommendation for the number of sprays to apply to skin and clothing is provided for this release.
Given its very powerful sillage, it is sensible to start with a small amount and assess how it develops on your own skin, especially before applying it in an enclosed space.
Those drawn to fruity-floral compositions with a rich base may want to explore Byredo Rose Noir.
For further exploration of expressive musky, spicy and woody fragrances, you can also compare {10} Cachemire with The Spirit of Dubai Turath and Francesca dell`Oro Ambrosine.
