The initial dry down is really screechy, earthy, woody, and incredibly disappointing. After about 10 minutes, the caramel does start coming through, but it definitely feels less like a caramel flavoured coffee and more like a vaguely caramel scented tree. Overall just way too masculine for me. It has moderate sillage and lasts about 4 hours. It at least isn't as bad as Irish Coffee which makes me gag.
