I was recently able to sample a full-size Donna Karan Cashmere Mist deodorant thanks to Try it sampling.
I’d sampled the scent in the past. It’s light and warm. I liked that it’s bold but still soft.
the product
This was a Donna Karan Cashmere Mist alcohol and aluminum-free deodorant. It’s a soft texture so it tends to melt into the skin.
The deodorant stick has a simple twist base.
Cashmere mist has notes of Amber, Jasmine, and sandalwood. So it’s warm with light floral air.

user experience
I’ve tried my fair share of aluminum and alcohol-free deodorants in the past. They all have their pros and cons.
This product isn’t any different.
This product came with a plastic protector under the lid. The deodorant stick is a soft beige color.
You can twist the base to raise the deodorant to remove the plastic protector.
The application process
Being that the deodorant is on the soft side you don’t want to press too hard when applying it. It may leave some streaks on your clothing if you overapply it.
Since it is scented you may want to apply a light layer and then reapply if the need arises.
protection against wetness
Since this is an aluminum and alcohol-free deodorant you may not be kept as dry as you usually would. Some people may have better results if you use aluminum-free products.
I however have not been one of those people so I would need to reapply the product if I sweat a lot or if I’m in a hot environment.
how it smells at the end of the day
For me, I had notes of the warm sandalwood scent. I didn’t smell bad nor did I smell like a sweet sweaty mess either. Which I’m happy about.

Final thoughts and where to buy
final thoughts
Overall the deodorant worked somewhat well. I liked that it worked well with my body chemistry. Which means I didn’t end up a stinky mess at the end of the day. It also blended into the skin which I liked. There is a bit of a trial and error process when it comes to application. Since the stick is soft and a tad creamy it can smear on your clothing.
The scent is warm and inviting. It’s not too bold or too sweet. It offers an even mix of floral, amber, and vanilla.
where to buy
You can purchase this product at Macy’s and other retailers.
it is also sold in a standard version as well.
