Hot Caramel Macchiato
Theodore Cabanels story in perfumery dates back in 1893. Caroline Ilacqua inherited the perfume house and as she states “I want a perfumery that is joyful, uncomplicated, accessible, transparent and clean. A perfumery that makes you smile”. That is exactly what Café Cabanel does. It makes you smile.
This perfume has a very sensual, elegant and charming gourmand smell that you keep sniffing it because you cant get enough of it.
It opens citrusy with lemon and mandarin (tangerine) and at first I was like “did they put another perfume inside? I was promised a gourmand”. After a bit, this intense citrus smoothens up but it never totally goes away, giving the fragrance a slight booziness. Immediately after, the coffee note with hints of cinnamon gets in the game. The coffee, is not the dark nutty coffee we are used to and that is so good because you don’t smell like a walking coffee machine. It is a smooth almost silky coffee note, like the sense of coffee in a caramel macchiato. The milk, butter, caramel, vanilla and tonka bean give a sweetness and creaminess to it, while the florals (Bulgarian rose and heliotrope) add a floral warmth. Overall, all the notes are so beautifully blended together and I get a sweet "boozy-like" gourmand.
The longevity and silage are moderate on me and that’s a bit disappointing because I really cannot get enough of this scent. I had to spray 3 times during a day in order to smell it all day on me. But generally, perfumes don’t last so much on my skin, probably because I m a walking nerve.
I expected this fragrance to be a brown warm sweater, but it turned out to be a white silk shirt.
Thank you for your time.
Be safe and smell great!
