A Worthwhile Cheapie: Though More Caramel than Coffee
Tested: On skin and clothing, four hours
TLDR: Frappe that's 80% caramel syrup with a fruity coffee blend
I like this a lot! I chose it because of my love for coffee notes, rather than for the caramel.
Unfortunately, you have to use your imagination a little bit, and the coffee is fleeting anyway. More than anything, it's a sweet and sour caramel scent. No bitterness and earthiness you'd expect for coffee, nor lactonic milkiness for cream. Someone gave you a fruity, summer release of a Starbucks ground bean blend, and you mixed in a loooooot of caramel syrup. Brighter than I expected!
I compared it to Prada Candy because they both have strong caramel notes.
Candy is, imo, more one note than Private show. It's a powdery, dusted vanilla-caramel. It's both more mature, and younger, than Private Show because of the powder. PS is wetter caramel: sticky and syrupy sweet. I would wear the former for a more professional environment, and the latter for going out!
Both have a longevity of about four hours. I actually reapplied PS at that mark because I could barely smell it on my wrists anymore. PS has slightly better projection though! As in, I can smell it when I wave my hands around in front of my face. Candy's bubble is a *lot* smaller.
Not bad at all for a cheapie! I think this would layer well with vanilla scents, but I'm still on the hunt for my dream coffee fragrance.
