Courtesy of Donna KaranBefore every designer decided to add a deodorant to their perfume collection, there was the Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Deodorant. You might have heard whispers of this designer deodorant online, or you learned all about it while you worked your first retail job at Ulta Beauty (like I did).
Either way, you might have thought to yourself: there's no way this overpriced deodorant works. And you'd be wrong, because it really, really does.
A few months back, I went to my first tropical vacation of the year to Puerto Rico. I decided to bring the DK Cashmere Mist deodorant and try it for the first time there. A risky move that really put the deodorant to the test. After all, if it failed, I could just buy a drugstore one there. Shockingly, I didn't have to do that. Among the 90-degree heat and humidity, I was smelling fresh as a daisy.
- The Donna Karan Cashmere Mist deodorant has an advanced and gentle formula that promises to control wetness, perspiration, and odor without causing any irritation.
- The iconic Cashmere Mist scent isn't overwhelming and features notes of Moroccan jasmine, lily of the valley, bergamot, sandalwood, amber, and musk.
- While the travel size of the deodorant retails for $22, the full size is on sale at Amazon for 15% off.
Another aspect that caught me off guard about this designer deodorant was the scent. I was expecting it to be extremely overwhelming and headache-inducing, since my nose is very sensitive. The fresh and powdery fragrance has subtle floral and musky notes that make it addicting to smell.
On the daily, I use a different deodorant, but the DK Cashmere Mist Deodorant is my new travel go-to and office touch-up essential during the summer.

Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Anti-Perspirant Deodorant Stick Has Rave Reviews
"For a long while, I was using men's deodorant because it was the only thing that lasted on me. I found this on an influencer's page and gave it a shot. I go all day with this on, and it lasts. I can smell feminine without having to worry about the musk. I also struggled with skin irritation, but I have none with this," a reviewer wrote.
"I have not had a scented deodorant that I can wear. They ALL gag me, and I only buy unscented, normally. I'll get hopeful with something that smells ok in the container, only to be disappointed once it's on my body. But THIS?! DK Cashmere Mist deodorant is sublime," another shopper wrote. "It's worth every penny for someone like me. Obsessed obsessed!"
"Best deodorant ever! I can’t get away from this, and I am beyond grateful I found it! For over 7 years now, I’ve been using this deodorant, and I have tried many, many other ones in my 40 years. It’s been a struggle to find one that works, and yes, it is more expensive; however, it lasts longer than any other deodorant I have ever had, smells amazing, and it works all day long! It is worth every penny," a shopper said.
