Imaginary authors A whiff of mid vanilla

This fragrance is covered in hype and obsession with notes, Opens with a sticky caramel and vanilla mixture, that slowly turns into a nice and warm waffle cone, On paper it sounds amazing and delicious, Unfortunately it turns into more of a candle like vanilla scent to me. Unwearable and not impressing, Projection is not the best, Does Not fill the air as well as i expected, atleast last a while.

Photorealistic stroopwafel in liquid form

Never smelled the 2020 edition of A Whiff of Waffle Cone, but I got myself a decant of this one when it came out. It took some time, but here I am, ready to test it now. By the mixed reviews and the pretty low score on here (6.8 at the time of this review), I was a bit apprehensive to test it on me, but here goes!

In the air, it smells like salted caramel with some smokiness. When I bring my skin up to my nose, I get a complex accord that reminds me of a wafflecone drenched in maple syrup or a delicious stroopwafel dipped in hot caramel sauce. It's delicious, scrumptious and very gourmand: a good fit for fall and winter. I can picture myself tearing a piece of crispy, golden waffle and dipping it in that creamy, ambery caramel sauce / maple syrup. I also smell creamy vanilla and a spicy kick of cinnamon under everything. Sandalwood further imparts a creaminess to the scent while orgeat syrup has that almond facet that adds to everything. It's overall a pretty photorealistic scent in my opinion. The drydown leans more vanilla with some caramel and a hint of smokiness. It smells closer to vanilla ice cream with caramel drizzled on top which is very lovely.

I'm still uncertain whether I want a full bottle of this or not. It's a great gourmand fragrance but I understand why some people don't love it. The first hour or so, it's a very sweet fragrance (it's not heavy nor cloying though). My skin chemistry also seems to pick up on the smokiness and enhances it a lot during the first hour, something I'm not a fan of. There's also a slight synthetic accord mixed with the spiciness of the cinnamon that turns me off a bit as the fragrance moves on. The superb opening and drydown are what's making me hesitate. It also performs very well for its price and it's an amazing fragrance during colder weather. Apart from my personal opinion, I do have to say it's the first scent I've tried out in a while that has stood out to me for it's originality. Which is why I'll have to re-test this fragrance before making my mind up!

Weirdly spicy, nasty dry down

I have no idea if this is because of the new reformulation but... there's no "waffle cone" no "vanilla ice cream", nothing like promised. And plus...is it just me or that perfume is so boozy at the beginning?
At first you get a very boozy drink and after few minutes (maybe 10) it turns into a creamy Rum-Raisin ice cream, I mean, yeah ..."ice cream" just not the vanilla type.

That's not all, after 3 hours the spices overpower everything else,.. It's like leaving all your spices in a closed wooden shelf and find the smell soaked in the shelf. It really fades weirdly.

Salted Caramel BOMB

don't underestimate this, it's not that typical creamy vanilla gourmand with slighty salty caramel notes, it's pure caramel, super sirupy, overdosed on vanilla ice cream, in a waffle cone that's also filled with even more caramel. This can fill rooms and you really don't need to spray a lot. I think this is amazing for layering, but on its own it can be a little to much

Cinnamon stroopwafel syrup

This was good but a little different than what I was expecting.

At first spray, it's cinnamon, syrup, vanilla, caramel and cream—a bit warm spicy, very sweet and quite lactonic. All of these come together to make a good waffle cone scent but it was much more syrupy than I was anticipating.

It smells like sitting down to enjoy a wintertime dessert. After a long day out in the cold, you come back into the warmth to enjoy some stroopwafels with a glass of cold milk.

The scent didn't evolve much if at all while I wore it and lasted on my skin for over ten hours. The sillage was reasonably strong.

Overall, I really liked this. What I enjoyed the most though was that it was also much more lactonic than I expected—it immediately made me think of Commodity's Milk (expressive) with some cinnamon added. This is a lovely gourmand, just be prepared for the syrup.

Slightly burnt waffle smothered in cinnamon maple syrup. A little synthetic, like Aunt Jemima's artificial maple syrup. Very realistic

Smells like stroopwafel in liquid form with a smoky edge. Golden gourmand glory, sweet and a little synthetic. Quite photorealistic!

Pretty simple straightforward pancake smell. Unfortunate, because this is long lasting and strong. Wish it had more depth :(

Cloying, nauseating synthetic "pancake" smell. The kind of nuclear gourmand people love to wear in public and give me migraines. Ugh.

This is objectively very nice but it makes me say 'okay man.' I'm almost eight hours into this wear and still smell like caramel and vanilla pancakes.
