The opening smells almost exactly like Thai iced coffee... super creamy but strong. The coffee scent lingers but eventually gives way to a caramel pastry scent. One of the better, more realistic caramel notes I've smelled in a fragrance. If you have occasional issues with caramel notes on your skin like I do, this one might work for you.
This is definitely a scent for gourmand lovers and gourmand lovers only.
