Smoky Creme Brulee

At first glance, Caramelo Vanilla seems like just another sweet caramel vanilla perfume. In many ways it is that, but it's a really, really good take on this type of scent. The frangipani is quite strong (though not overwhelming) right in the beginning but it dries down quite quickly into the nicest smokey soft caramel. It's a subtle scent that sits close to the skin and lasts about 3-4 hours on me. While this isn't maybe a powerhouse on it's own, it also layers well with other fragrances and I think, can be a day to night fall/winter scent.

I do really enjoy it alone and think I misjudged it at first glance where I wrote it off as boring. It's versatility is great and this is actually a quiet MVP of the fall season so far.

Caramel vanilla powder cloud

Caramelo Vanilla starts with a blast of smokey, crunchy, burned caramel that quickly falls into a soft bed of vanilla, musk and powder. I usually want my caramel notes to be creamy, so I was a little let down at first that I didn't get any dulce de leche here, even though it's listed as a note. But the way this crunchy caramel is blended with the vanilla and musk made me quickly reconcile with the scent. After a short while it becomes so soft and cozy, like a pink cloud of gourmand goodness and creamy, dreamy white musk. Vanilla, caramel and fluffy musks are my perfume comfort zone, so it's no surprise that I feel relaxed and at home when I smell this.

I don't get frangipani or white florals from this, maybe they support the powdery, fluffy effect of the scent, but they don't stand out.

It is a bit expensive for what it is, so I'm not sure if I really need a bottle, but if one magically appeared in my hands, I would be delighted. Such a cuddly, warm feel-good scent that would lift me up on any cool, gloomy day.

For anyone curious about the Bianco Latte comparison:
This review is a little older (transfered from a certain other perfume site), so I tried this before the Bianco Latte craze and can't say with certainty how similar they are. I remember that this was quite powdery, which I never got from Bianco Latte, and when I first tried Bianco Latte I didn't think of Caramelo Vanilla at all. So my conclusion is that they aren't twins, but might have some more subtle similarities.

Direct comparison with Madera - it only takes one

Based on the reference in the statements, I compared Caramelo Vanilla with Madera directly. Both are very similar for a very long time.

The newer caramel interpretation from New Notes just has a slightly less rounded, pleasantly smoky and dirtier caramel touch, while Madera is a little softer and more multi-layered, the hint of meadow flower is delicate, but gives it multi-dimensionality, which in turn makes it a little more interesting. But we are talking about minimal differences.

On the other hand, "Contemporary Blend Collection - Caramelo Vanilla | New Notes" has a little more staying power, both in terms of its lasting power and sillage. Also a touch.

You definitely only need one of the two; in terms of ml, Madera is slightly "cheaper" and more suited to softer, gentler tastes. In contrast, the scent of New Notes has a smoky, somewhat cheekier caramel note with a stronger unisex character.

Both are beautiful. It's only the subtle nuances that make the difference. I myself can't say exactly which one will win the race in the end...

Gourmand dream

I have often been asked who smells so deliciously of candy floss or powdered sugar. The scent is really delicious. Sweet/creamy/gourmandy When I first smelled it, I immediately wondered how it could stand out from the other fragrances and had to buy it straight away

Shelf life is about 8 hours

The sillage is really good

Price-performance ratio is relatively okay

Oh... New Notes...

It remains the case that I somehow don't warm to the majority of New Notes fragrances. When I first smelled this one, I also thought: too synthetic, not mine. Now I've worn it for the first time.

The fragrance is a typical gourmand scent, smells like a slightly burnt, spicy vanilla dessert and is not bad at all. It's much more along the lines of fragrances that I like and that I can't really fault, but that still don't draw me out of my comfort zone. CV is just too normal for me, too basic, especially for a niche! The fragrance is vanilla for me and not much more. Yes, there is an interesting smokiness and spiciness, but that's what the money is for?

Another point of criticism is definitely the durability and sillage. It doesn't last that badly, but you don't notice it and that's quite unusual for a very sweet vanilla fragrance. Definitely a winter fragrance, but a very weak one. I can't really fault it fragrance-wise, but for the money it's not my cup of tea. It's a shame, I actually thought that after liking New Leather and Cocktail Maracuja quite a lot that I would also like Caramelo Vanilla... Well, I still have a few from the brand to test!
