Is Cašmir too old-fashioned to wear today?+−
Not according to those who wear it regularly. The sweet oriental style is undeniably rooted in the early 1990s, but community opinion leans toward "timeless and comforting" rather than dated. That said, it is a bold, unapologetic fragrance — if you prefer understated or minimalist scents, it may feel heavy regardless of era.
How strong is it — do I need to go easy with application?+−
Yes. Cašmir is a genuine powerhouse, particularly in the first couple of hours. It projects strongly, leaves a warm trail, and lasts well into the day on skin and even longer on fabric. One spray is enough for most wearers. Overdoing it is a real risk.
Is this fragrance appropriate for men?+−
It's marketed for women, but at least some men wear it and love it — the coconut, vanilla, and amber profile doesn't skew particularly feminine in practice. The warmth and richness are the dominant impression, and those qualities read as gender-neutral to many.
