Cashmere
If you want the comfort of a soft, spiced fragrance without the sweetness that usually comes attached, Franck Boclet Cashmere Eau de Parfum 100ml is built for you. Grapefruit and pink pepper open it, the grapefruit bitter and a little sour, the pink pepper rosy and sparkling, and neither hangs around for more than ten minutes. What they do is keep the first impression bright, because everything after this point is warm.
Cinnamon arrives next, dusty and dry rather than hot, with clove beside it and leather underneath, and that leather is smooth and worn rather than raw or smoky. It is a quietly spiced middle, the sort of thing that smells like a scarf rather than a kitchen.
The base is where the name is earned. Cashmeran is the material responsible, and it is one of the few that genuinely smells like fabric: warm, slightly animal, a little resinous and faintly powdery all at once. Benzoin sweetens it with a balsamic edge, amber adds a resinous glow, cedarwood keeps a dry line running through it, and vetiver puts a rooty bitterness underneath so the whole thing has a spine.
From 2017, it is an eau de parfum of the quiet, long lasting kind. Seven or eight hours is normal with a presence that stays close, which makes it an unusually good office fragrance for something this warm. Unisex, better in cold weather, and particularly good between October and February. Nine materials, well judged, and nothing in it is fighting anything else.
The label carries the name of the Paris designer who runs it, and it came out of fashion rather than beauty: his own menswear line has been going since 2011. The fragrance side is deliberately literal, roughly two dozen scents with one subject each, and there is a stronger Rock and Riot series and the Goldenlight range beyond the main collection.
