Aromatic plum in a winter cap
When sprayed on, Plum Cream is initially warm and plum-scented. Then it quickly becomes a little sweeter and slowly becomes creamier after a few more minutes. The sweetness is pleasantly dosed, it is not overly sticky or sticky. In general, 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 tartness - just enough to make Plum Cream interesting and lift it out of the swamp of generic fruitiness, but not enough to make it actually smell like the inspiration Umeboshi. A wise decision, because Umeboshi pops.
Umeboshi are lactic acid fermented plums, very salty and sour. They are eaten with rice to soften the impact of the flavor, and usually only one is eaten per dish. It tastes good after a bit of getting used to, but it's not something you would want to smell.
With a bit of good will, I might detect a tiny bit of salt in Plum Cream, but here we mainly have a warm creamy, autumnal and wintry, but not Christmassy, plum that is not too fruity and tangy. I don't smell any specific spices, rather a "general spiciness", which keeps the fragrance somewhere between plum and rum at all times. Wood prevents the fragrance from smelling really fruity and juicy, but otherwise doesn't stand out too much for me. I haven't really been able to make friends with woody notes in the past, but here I find them perfectly fine. Thank goodness I don't notice any of the dreaded cypriol note - perhaps it has been used here very carefully to round off the notes without letting it make an appearance itself.
I find Plum Cream to be a warm, chestnut-colored, friendly fragrance that goes 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 fragrance - maybe someone would like to try it out.

Contrary to expectations, the best of the Kakigori series. Possibly a fruity fragrance for people who haven't been into fruity fragrances before.

Layering:
As suggested by the brand, I layered Plum Cream with Kakigori - White Crush. The tonka bean in White Crush is very dominant, I gradually tested my way 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 could appeal to tonka and gourmand lovers.
For the sake of completeness, I also layered Kakigori - Dulce de Leche with Plum Cream, 1:1. Unsurprisingly, the result is a spicy plum fragrance with caramel sauce. This fragrance is very "thick" and heavy, just as the smell of banana can be unpleasantly thick. I don't like this combination. But Obvious doesn't explicitly suggest it either, surely for good reason.

Tart red skin gives way to juicy sweetness and cream. The oak is there but I may layer on sandalwood or shiso to avoid it going potpourri.

Easy pleaser for umeshu lovers. Tangy, sweet and darker as time goes by. Could be my next guilty pleasure.

The only one out of the Kakigori series that I enjoyed. Soft Plum on wooden base, don't get the rum though. Subtle, creamy, nice scent.
