Caramel Swirl

I smell pineapple first off, salted caramel, whipped cream and cedar. The pineapple fades and it’s mostly salted caramel and whipped cream fading into vanilla and cedar. Sweet but not too sweet, tropical, projects well. My husband said he really likes it and he hasn’t liked other gourmands. Lasts a decent amount of time. Definitely a day time fragrance or vacation. Or just for someone who likes to smell delicious!

This is the best caramel type of perfume I've ever smelled. The mango and fruity notes cuts the overly cloying sweetness that other caramel scents have...the dry down is the magic...it becomes so secy and kind of powdery to my nose I actually get almost like Dior addict vibes on the dry down and its soooo good cuz not only do u get a pretty playful caramel fruity scent but u also get the sexy dry down on the end.

This smells delicious ! Like a sweet fruity creamy bowl of cereal. I’m noticing this brand is very good at creating gourmands . Their cherry fragrance is also really nice. I have to see how long it last but so far I find it quite delicious. Also, I love that this doesn’t smell overly synthetic like a lot of other gourmands out there.

Delicious creamy swirl of thick mango juice, white chocolate , warm coconut, fresh citrus and airy whipped cream. I dont really get a true caramel, its kinda more like a caramel milk vibe but i like that its not as heavy or dense. I call this my capt crunch perfume cause it smells like capt crunch+ berries cereal milk 😋

I LOVE THIS! It starts out as a very realistic caramel cake scent, but dries down to reveal a tropical fruitiness. It’s not super strong, and works best when applied every few hours (after about the third go it tends to linger longer). The atomizer it comes with is really nice, too, and gives a good powerful spritz.

A desserty, fruity gourmand. Sweet and dense. not too warm weather friendly unless you're a gourmand lover (like me). I want to purchase a larger size it's amazing. Its dense aspect sets it apart from the other clean reserve fragrances and that may be a good or bad thing depending on your taste

I really love this one! It opens with a buttery popcorn and dries down to a soft white chocolate. I’ve been looking for a nice, soft grown-up gourmand and I’m so glad to have found this one! Jerome Epinette is one of my fave perfumers and he never lets me down. 12/10 beautiful!

This is delectable. Perfectly sweet and creamy. A fresh clementine dipped in caramel with a mango milkshake on the side.

Caramel Swirl – First Impressions / Review I was heavily influenced and ordered this immediately, so this is a true first-impression review. On first spray, this is a pleasant, soft, sweet gourmand, but my nose clocked something instantly: this smells very specifically like Yum Boujee Marshmallow. Same fluffy, marshmallow-forward, creamy sweetness. Not “every gourmand ever” — this one in particular. To my nose, despite the name, this is not a bold caramel-heavy scent. It leans much more marshmallowy, creamy, and sugary, mirroring the Yum Boujee DNA rather than standing apart as its own caramel-focused fragrance. It also reminded me of that familiar moment when Queen’s Caramel launched and many people noticed how closely it aligned with an already-loved gourmand profile. This feels like a similar situation. Performance so far is moderate and wearable — easy, cozy, and very approachable. Nothing challenging here, which will absolutely be a plus for fans of sweet, comforting gourmands. Bottom line: If you already own Yum Boujee Marshmallow or one of its close mimics/dupes, you probably don’t need this. This comparison felt immediate and clear to me. That said, if you love this specific marshmallow-sweet DNA and enjoy collecting variations within your favorite scent profiles, this will fit right in. Everyone’s nose is different, of course — but for me, the overlap here is strong. 📱 I also shared a real-time first impressions video on TikTok where you can see my immediate reaction and hear more detailed thoughts. 👉 Follow me on TikTok @buzzwithhoneybee for honest fragrance reviews, comparisons, and gourmand-focused content 💜✨

This is primarily buttery caramel with a fruity accord. I think the notes really do describe it accurately. There’s a very soft floral vibe which, combined with the sweetness, reminds me ever so slightly of the gisou hair fragrance (the original scent) which has notes of honey and “wildflowers.” I’m surprised by people saying this is redundant with yum boujie marshmallow. Yes it’s a sweet gourmand with a fruity touch, but that’s about it. YBM is really a sugary toasted marshmallow with dusting of strawberry. This is a very separate scent profile. Comparison wise, I haven’t tried the cirque du soleil fragrance, but I can see why it’s being compared based on the notes and what I get out of it. If I had to compare it to something super popular that most people have smelled, I’d say it’s like a cross between the uplifting caramel of sol de Janeiro 62 and the buttery gourmand aspects of their coconut scent (not a dupe again, just trying to give an impression). Interestingly, Jerome Epinette is the perfumer behind both this fragrance and cheirosa 71, which is primarily a buttery caramel gourmand. I can definitely see the similarities and wonder if this is a signature accord of his. Although I enjoy this scent and tend to dislike 71.

this is the only truly gourmand caramel fragrance i can stand. caramel swirl is like its name; caramel swirled in a delicate balance of florals and fruit. caramel swirl is so syrupy delicious in a way that i cant quite place. the first spray is full of thick caramel, citrus, and mango. the drydown is more powdery for sure, and the white chocolate/whipped cream note is very prominent. this fragrance smells like a lot of different desserts while somehow lacking the overwhelming cloying effects that most gourmands ive tried had. it also doesnt smell too warm, enough for me to be comfortable wearing it in warm weather. the longevity and projection of caramel swirl are very good. it lasts on my skin for what feels like forever and continously projects about arms length. i think a fullbottle would be definitely worth the money if youre into a less-heavy gourmand. overall, a very solid gourmand that i will reach for every time over any of my other sweeter fragrances.

Right off the top I get sticky, sweet mango, paired deliciously with a creamy, melty blonde caramel. The nectar-sweetness of the fruit accord gives brightness and dimensionality to the smooth creaminess of the gourmand element, and the delicate floral mid notes add just a tiny touch of elegance to the whole thing. However, on my skin it only takes a few minutes for the sweet, fruity notes to begin ebbing, and a dry, husky coconut note to take over. At which point the gourmand decadence begins to rapidly deflate and the entire thing turns beachy, lotion-y, and slightly mineral. It remains sweet, but more like a couple drips of a caramel sundae on tan skin that's shiny with suntan lotion and speckled with pale sand. I'm not really a gourmand fiend, but I really love Caramel Swirl's beautifully indulgent gourmand opening, and I'm disappointed that it dries down so quickly into a much more moderate, sweet-beachy scent.

This fragrance is honestly confusing me a lot. When I first tried it in store, it was the most beautiful sticky mango scent. I was getting compliments left and right as soon as I left the store. I purchased it ASAP and was so excited to wear it around. But now that I have it... I'm really confused. It doesn't smell how it did when I first tried it on, instead of the beautiful caramel sticky mango it has turned quite plasticky. If I try hard enough it does smell like mango, but mostly just like a kids toy was dunked in caramel. Fingers crossed I am able to get past the plastic smell and can return to the original masterpiece.

There's a fresh opening which I suspect is all the fruity notes, but truthfully while wearing it I had zero knowledge of those notes and mostly just got a creamy caramel all the way through. Not salty, but fluffy, sweet, and airy. I really enjoyed it, but the two people I was with kept saying they smelled playdough in the air, LOL. Personally, I didn't get that at all. It did remind me of something though. It wasn't until it reached the drydown that it smelled very similar to the Cirque Du Soleil perfume! Then I checked on here and turns out it's in the "reminds me of" section, haha.

I sniffed this today at Sephora. I really like this! However, I don’t need it because it did remind me a lot of Ellis Brooklyn’s queens caramel. This is a little sweeter than the dry down than Queen’s caramel which it kind of dries down more floral, but this honestly is not unique enough for me to need it but I do like it. I’m not sure what the price point is for the large bottle. I didn’t pay attention, but part of me thinks this might be cheaper than Ellis so this could be the better option as far as Price.

Yes @czarina85!! 😂 i literally laughed when i was testing this because I instantly got the berry cap n crunch as well , so much so I had to wear this home to see if my husband felt the same and he did 😂! Dont get me wrong it smells delicious and is very gourmand. It made me smile in a good way, but it was just too sweet for me and i cant shake the bowl of cereal vibes.

a lot different than i expected but i actually like it! there is something noticable fruity, it’s not just a caramel gourmand. i’d say somewhat similar to miami shake. almost like a salted, summery caramel with fruit forward notes. it’s pretty!

Smells like trying to eat a fully ripe mango with your bare hands but you’re already covered in coconut oil. It’s soft to the point of collapsing, juice running down your fingers and every time you try to get a grip, it just slips away.

Quality Strawberry cotton candy. Gourmand and fluffy sweet. Barely get the rest of the notes from this. Very good sillage and longitivity. I like it.

smells like a fall bath and body works candle in the best way, this is what every pumpkin spice white girl dreams of smelling like
