Dulce

Sweet, vanilla, powdery, musky, chocolate, woody, warm spicy, rich, feminine, sensual, seductive, chic, charming, whimsical, dreamy, delightful, delicious, alluring, tempting, addictive, decadent, yummy, inviting, cozy, comforting Oh my goodness this is sooo good! To me, this is almost identical to Bianco Latte, which I absolutely love! It’s like this super yummy sweet vanilla swirled with decadent honey and caramel with touches of chocolate, powdery musk, and hinoki wood. I know this doesn’t list honey or caramel as notes, but I really feel like I’m picking up on them, and I love that! I finally got a bottle of this after trying samples for a couple years. I bought a sampler set from Sephora with a voucher, so it was between this, Kilian Princess, and Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato. Since I already own the other 2, I was excited to finally get a bottle of Dulce, and I’m super glad to finally own her too! I agree with the review below about this smelling like the air of an ice cream shop. It has rich and decadent notes, but it does come across on the softer side. When it comes to its comparison to Bianco Latte that’s the main difference. Bianco Latte is more bold and intense, while Dulce is softer and more delicate. I also find both of them to be extremely similar to BBW Whipped Honey & Vanilla. I’m also getting a similarly to Ellis Brooklyn Queen’s Caramel, but obviously without the maple note. To me, Dulce feels ultra-feminine, and fitting for women of any age. This feels best suited for the fall winter, and colder days of spring. I think this works well for all occasions from casual to fancy, and even for work and/or school. I get good performance with Dulce. The longevity is moderate, about 6 hours on my skin. The projection is on the softer side, and radiates out about an arm’s length from me.

Sweet, vanilla, powdery, musky, chocolate, woody, warm spicy, aromatic, luminous, feminine, sensual, seductive, flirty, charming, whimsical, dreamy, divine, delightful, delicious, alluring, tempting, intoxicating, addictive, inviting, cozy, comforting Oh my goodness this is just sooo good! I get the sensual and powdery vanilla, sweet chocolate, powdery musk, and aromatic hinoki wood, but I swear that I also get a decadent honey-like scent too! It’s super delightful and yummy! It does make me think of rich, creamy vanilla ice cream, with chunks of chocolate, and drizzled with honey! This definitely feels very reminiscent of Bianco Latte, except without the caramel. I also think it’s quite similar to LSF Vanilla Twirl, Summer Fridays Sunlit Vanilla, Ellis Brooklyn Queen’s Caramel, and B&BW Whipped Honey & Vanilla, all of which also remind me of Bianco Latte. It’s definitely a scent profile that I really enjoy! To me this feels very feminine, and like it’s suitable for women of any age. I think this works best during the colder weather of fall, winter, and early spring. This feels suitable for any occasion from casual to fancy, and including work/school.

Now purchased my own 50ml bottle and I am so happy! Before I even got to a full bottle I actually started with a 10ml decant, I was always curious with this one and refrained from purchasing one before only because I'm not the biggest fan of chocolate. When I first tried this, 'meh' was my first impression, I wasn't really wowed with it, it was sweet smelling, but very light and it has some sort of 'stink' which I am guessing would be the chocolate and hinoki wood, didn't dislike it, but didn't love it either. Tested it for a few more weeks, and I don't know what came over me, but I suddenly learned to love the scent. It's not a sillage nor a projection beast, rather it sits quietly and demurely on you, and you can absolutely smell it on yourself, and you'll feel like you're in a really clean, sweet and comforting bubble only you can appreciate. For most people I believe they smell like vanilla ice cream when wearing this one, but on me, it's more chocolately/woody with a hint of light sweet vanilla. I tried to save up some of the 10ml I have before my full bottle arrives because I went through it so fast. If you are a clean, skin scent lover but would like something gourmand, you have to give this a try. It's wonderful. And to those comparing this to Bianco Latte, I honestly do not think they smell similar, BL is way stronger and quite headache inducing even if it smells good, and mostly smells like caramel and vanilla on my nose. Don't blind buy and if you are someone who expects a BL dupe, this is not it. Overall, I am making this my signature scent, wearable any weather, any occasion, it's light fluffy and pleasant, and a successful perfume imo. Sillage is 3/10, projection 3/10, longevity 7/10 stays 5-6hrs on me.

Dulce is a creamy, vanilla bean, cupcake scent. However, it is creamy so it does have a bit of a milky vibe to it, making it softer and airy. It’s a very light vanilla, not overwhelming. Out of all the vanilla perfumes I’ve tried thus far, this one’s the closest thing to a true “vanilla bean” fragrance. It’s not as woody as AG’s plush vanilla, but it’s very similar. It reminds me a bit of vanilla voyage but minus the licorice and slight caramel scent to it + it doesn’t give me a headache. I’ve never smelled BL so I have no idea. Also, this doesn’t smell at all like Eclaire and thank god because I hated that one. I can overspray this one and not get overwhelmed. It’s way sweeter as well. The milky-ness isn’t nauseating either because I find that there’s a thin line between creamy and straight up milk in a fragrance. I don’t get any whiffs of play dough like I’ve seen in some reviews. I don’t smell chocolate either. Think a creamy vanilla dessert that’s slightly woody and with some musk but barely, it’s overall airy. Longevity is normal but if you layer it - 100/10. I’ve been searching for the “perfect” vanilla and I’ve been dissapointed time and time again with scents like “fresh cream” by philosophy or even “vanilla skin” by fleur. Some even claim “mod vanilla” is a true vanilla scent. All of the scents I’ve listed are mixed with other things, whether it’s something fruity or it’s too musky. I really adore this fragrance and honestly it’s the best and closest vanilla perfume I’ve smelled. I’ll still be on the lookout for more.

Sweet, warm, powdery, musky, woody, warm spicy, feminine, sensual, seductive, flirty, charming, whimsical, dreamy, delightful, delicious, decadent, alluring, tempting, addictive, inviting, cozy, comforting, gourmand Wow, this is very similar to Bianco Latte, which I love! I swear I’m even getting the same rich honeyed vanilla and caramel! This rich vanilla ice cream drizzled with caramel and honey, and a sprinkle of chocolate. It’s very sweet and super yummy! I also get some hinoki wood in the base grounding everything, but it’s very soft. This really comes off as a true gourmand treat! The main difference I get is the performance, with Bianco Latte way outperforming Dulce. I’m also reminded of B&BW Whipped Honey & Vanilla (honey drizzle, blossoming neroli, whipped vanilla bean), the body care pairs really well with both Dulce and Bianco Latte.
