Aromatic Plum in a Winter Hat
Upon spraying, Plum Cream is initially warm and plum-scented. It quickly becomes a bit sweeter and slowly creamier after a few more minutes. The sweetness is pleasantly measured; it is not overwhelmingly sticky or gooey. Overall, the fruitiness, sweetness, and creaminess are very well balanced. All three support each other, and none stands out more than the others. There is also a tiny bit of acidity present - just enough to make Plum Cream interesting and to lift it out of the swamp of generic fruitiness, but not enough to actually make it smell like the inspiration Umeboshi. A wise decision, because Umeboshi is quite intense.
Umeboshi are fermented plums through lactic acid fermentation, very salty and sour. They are eaten with rice to soften the punch of the flavor, and usually, only one is consumed per dish. After a bit of getting used to, they taste quite good, but they are not something one would want to smell like.
With a bit of goodwill, I might detect a hint of salt in Plum Cream, but here we primarily have a warm, creamy, autumnal and wintry, but not Christmas-like, plum that is not too fruity and zesty. I do not smell specific spices, rather a "general spiciness," which allows the fragrance to hover somewhere between plum and rum at all times. Wood prevents the scent from smelling truly fruity-juicy-fruity, but it does not stand out too much for me otherwise. I have not really warmed up to woody notes before, but here I find them completely acceptable. Thankfully, I do not notice the dreaded Cypriol note - perhaps it has been used here very gently to round out the notes without making itself noticeable.
I perceive Plum Cream as a warm, chestnut-colored, friendly scent that pairs well with warm boots and a knitted sweater, without falling into the eternal vanilla trap.
Layered with cinnamon, I could imagine it as a lovely Christmas scent - perhaps someone would like to try that out.
Surprisingly, the best of the Kakigori series. Possibly a fruit scent for people who have not been able to appreciate fruity fragrances so far.
Layering:
As suggested by the brand, I layered Plum Cream with "Kakigori - White Crush | Obvious." The tonka bean in White Crush is very dominant; I gradually tested up to 3 sprays of Plum Cream to 1 spray of White Crush. The result is a pleasant, fruity-creamy plum-tonka scent. Not for me, but it might appeal to tonka and gourmand lovers.
For the sake of completeness, I also layered Kakigori - Dulce de Leche with Plum Cream, 1:1. Unsurprisingly, this results in a spicy plum scent with caramel sauce. This scent feels very "thick" and heavy, just as the smell of a banana can somehow be uncomfortably thick. I do not like this combination. Obvious does not explicitly suggest it either, certainly for good reason.
