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.
