I bought this fragrance because of the caramel and popcorn notes. But I don't think it captures these two aromas as well as Zara's "Salted Caramel" room fragrance. My son, however, said it smelled similar to Zara's "Salted Caramel" hand wash. Over time, a sticky, syrupy sweetness develops. Up close, it seems almost too sweet and cloying to me, but the trail that spreads around is still acceptably sweet and pleasant. Chestnut is listed in the fragrance pyramid - I do perceive a nutty note, but chestnut would not be my immediate association. I notice virtually nothing of the orchid. This fragrance is an extrait, but the sillage is not as intense as I had feared - although the longevity is quite impressive. In the afternoon, I sprayed it on a stuffed animal, and around midnight, that syrup note was still noticeable - it seemed as though the base of vanilla and sandalwood had not yet been reached. Overall, the fragrance is rather linear. I don't think it is particularly suited to wearing on the skin, but sprayed on a stuffed animal to create a cozy atmosphere in a room - that is quite nice.
