My ultimate cake fragrance
Stop your search, fellow cake-loving fragrance enthusiasts: this is the solinote cake to beat all cake scents. You really CAN have your cake and eat-I mean... smell it, too.
Despite the name, it's most definitely is not an "angel food" cake. To my nose, angel food is distinctly airy/spongy - in contrast to the denser richness that can be found with a regular cake.
This cake is still fluffy - it won't smother you in any overbearing cake density. The egg whites, vanilla, sugar, and coconut are well-blended, realistic, but still very wearable in this vanilla-forward gourmand (nothing weird about the egg notes, either - just adds to the gourmand feel). I used to think this could pass as a flan, as the two desserts share similar notes - but this is very clearly cake, and doesn't have the custard-y/eggy texture or thickness of a flan.
Although no butter is listed, there's just enough of it here to bring more warmth and prevent this "cake" from being dry. A light, but smooth, sugary musk is also present in the background. And for those that normally avoid coconut, you might not be able to detect it here - as it's just a hint, adding depth and dimension. Overall, this is very much a linear "yellow cake" scent experience (richer vanilla-based, with egg - rather than a white cake).
"Angel Food (Cologne) | Demeter Fragrance Library / The Library Of Fragrance" could be sold at Victoria's Secret, along the lines of Bare Vanilla and Vanilla Lace Fragrance Mist - but even MORE gourmand and realistic. Will continue to be one of my signature birthday scents - and also love wearing this in fall/winter as a cozy, creamy-sweet scent treat for cooler weather!
P.S. When first ordering my bottle from Demeter, I noticed a vinegar-like undertone to the blend (and saw some other reviewers complaining of a similar issue). After letting my bottle sit, this went away completely - so it's one you might need to let macerate.
