"Light blond roast" with salted caramel drizzle
This fragrance is primarily three things to my nose:
- photo-realistic coffee (80%)
- salted caramel (15%)
- a hint of unsweetened heavy cream (5%)
Coffee is one of my favorite notes, but can sometimes swing too far into the roasted/"burnt" category to me. Thankfully, the coffee here is like a cup of a very smooth, light blond roast - not so roasted that the fragrance smells bitter, but still enough coffee to feel rich and cozy. Everything you love about coffee, without the heaviness.
The salted caramel drizzle is so perfect - it almost has the warmth and depth of butterscotch, but the saltiness keeps it light. It is not at all "tooth-achingly sweet" like some caramels are - just the right amount of sweetness, to balance the thickness of the coffee.
And lastly, there is just a small touch of unsweetened heavy cream to round it out - the perfect counterpart to keep the coffee from becoming overwhelming.
The entire combination feels decadent and I can't wait to wear it in autumn. This truly deserves the hype - in my top favorite coffee fragrances of all time!
