Caramel

This scent smells exactly like caramel tastes - I PROMISE! PLUS, and this is a big PLUS, it LASTS a LONG time on the skin! Which I love and hope they never change! Out of all the Demeters I have tried...this lasts and is the most perfect caramel scent. You get all the buttery, sugary, mouth watering goodness of biting into a caramel candy. I think if you love to wear these types of scents and you love caramel that you cannot go wrong with this perfume. I have the lotion and I don't pick up much scent in that. I would love to try the bath oil as a perfume. The scent in the perfume is wonderful though. I have it on now and it is making my mouth water. It would probably be lovely any time of year but now that Fall is here it makes me think of caramel apples and all things Autumnal. I would purchase this again as this is the most lasting scent I own in this fragrance category. Would love to try the Apple Pie! *My family (with the exception of my daughter that LOVES the same type scents that I do) doesn't understand why anyone would want to smell like food but, I don't need to be understood - just loved. :0) **UPDATE: I purchased the Demeter Caramel Bath/Body oil (15.00!) and it is FABULOUS! Please note that you will need to shake this bottle before each use as the oil blend tends to separate - shake up and down prior to use and you will be fine. The oil is full of scent and can be worn on pulse points as perfume. DELICIOUS! *this oil is a nice base for my CARA (Farmacia) perfume as well as many other scents like this that I own. So far my favorites in the Demeter Caramel collection are the spray fragrance and the oil.

Caramel, Crème Brulée, vanilla extract, maple syrup, melted butter... these are some notes I get with the first sprays. Once it starts drying down it gets creamier and I agree with Killson below that becomes "a soft jersey caramel," in the sillage especially. There's also maple syrup note that other reviewers have mentioned, and a burnt sugar note like the crispy top of crème brulée, as well as a faint salty note that evokes melt-y salted butter & salted caramel. The liquid has an orange-y amber colour & leaves an oily sheen on the skin. Lasts about 3 hours on the skin, but up to 12 hours on clothing/textiles. Up close on the skin I get something closer to Crème Brulée, but in the sillage I get the "soft jersey caramel." Overall this a fantastic caramel scent. Enjoy!

This is an inexpensive love these days ♡. I was fortunate enough to acquire it through a swap months ago, and am only discovering it now. I am a big caramel scent fan and this smells pretty much like caramel & maple syrup. Luckily I love both scents so this is awesome for me. I have the big bottle, which is great as the longevity is not the greatest, but I freely reapply. I wear it before bed and it makes me feel cozy. I think this is better suited in cooler weather. I can't imagine wanting to wear it on a hot night. Try it if you want a cheap maple syrup type scent.

Yes this does smell like caramel. It has a warm, comfortable aroma. The longer it stays on the skin it reminds me of my childhood and walking by the saltwater taffy store that made their own saltwater taffy. It is sweet by not cloying. I think it is lovely. To me there is not one percent of an artifical or synthetic smell. This is a true caramel fragrance.

Exactly what it says on the tin, a sweetly unmistakable caramel with some butterscotch and maple syrup mixed in. I am developing a habbit for wearing this in my bedroom, it's such an appetising fragrance that I love to have it sitting in the background.

It's sweet and warm and lovely. Smells like fudge or just pure caramel. I combine it with perfumes I have, it gives them the dark sweetness that I miss with some of them. Try this with Hidden Fantasy for example, makes it smell very nice!

Smells just like the caramel syrup drizzled you’d find drizzled over an ice cream sundae or Frappuccino. Not a ton of longevity, but the value is great so it’s hard to complain. I layer mine over Imaginary Authors’ Whiff of Wafflecone.

♡ this fragrance,but it does not really smell like caramel to me, on me it smells like butter pecan ice cream! Which is yummy so I don't mind.Very warm and lovely, perfect for a nice day in autumn and spring...winter too.

Demeter's take on Caramel is more butterscotch than caramel. It is a buttery caramel for sure. It is very very sweet. I actually like, and it seems to last quite a while for a demeter fragrance.

I agree with boardbat's review, "this is sweet and sticky burnt sugar caramel. you have to be in the right mood to wear this. i could never wear this everyday." I'm into gourmands and fruits, but something about it is a bit off. It smells fantastic, just like caramel as it should, when I sniff the cap or a spray onto paper... but on my skin, it seems to take a funny, dark, bitter/sour note, like burnt caramel, cooked for too long. I can still smell it wafting from my wrist, so staying power is decent so far. It just doesn't seem to work as well with me as other fragrances.

I have another Demeter so I knew what to expect. These are single note, simple but very realistic scents that often benefit from some layering. The caramel is a bit more on the burnt or sharp side than creamy. I've layered it with Philosophy's Fresh Cream. That ramps it up to a creamy caramel dessert. It also goes well with vanilla centered fragrances. I don't find it something I can wear on it's own. This one really does need to be a layering scent but it adds a delicious caramel note to several other perfumes that you want to sweeten up.

From reading the reviews, Demeter's Caramel is absolutely in the nose of the beholder! I was REALLY hoping for a true caramel scent, so I could add it to my Prada Candy, which is a musk-monster on me with almost NO caramel. Sadly, this will just not cut it - because I belong to the Maple Syrup camp on this one. It smells like it in the bottle and on me - straight up fresh Vermont Maple Syrup! If that's what you're after, it is fabulous - but I'm still looking for an authentic caramel.

This one is straight up caramel. Super sweet and a bit much on its own. I personally struggle to wear it solo, though it would probably suit women more naturally. Where it really shines is when it’s paired with Fresh Brewed Coffee, also from Demeter. That combo gives off a caramel latte kind of vibe, with a nice balance between sweetness and a slight bitterness. Ratings: 4.8/10 on its own 6.9/10 when layered

Smells like butterscotch ice cream. Very realistic. I guess caramel and butterscotch definitely overlap. Makes me think of being a kid, and going to the drugstore with my mum, and getting a butterscotch sundae. Good vibes, definitely. Quite a yummy pick-me-up, as they say. Great as a scent memory, or maybe could be layered with other gourmand scents. Fun one.

In the bottle, it smells just like caramel. Applied to skin, it turns a bit. The resulting scent - while not unpleasant - is definitely richer than expected. After a few hours, it is somewhere between maple syrup (freshly tapped) and butterscotch. I love this worn with Trick or Treat 2009 from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab.

I have the perfume oil version of this and it is surprisingly delicious. The opening smells very much like a caramel topping for ice cream. The longevity isn't great (even with the oil version) but you can get a soft jersey caramel type scent from it for a few hours. A bit of fun, but mainly a layering option

It smells exactly like slightly burnt caramel. If you love caramel, then you would love this. Perfect for layering. P.S. I layered it with the Blueberry fragrance from Demeter Fragrances, which happens to smell like blueberry muffins on its own, and it creates a very unique and mouthwatering smell!

i got this as a free gift with purchase and it smells like exactly what it's supposed to. it's a little bit sickeningly sweet but i love gourmand fragrances so i don't mind. it smells kinda like salted caramel ice cream (probably won't wear this though)

Straight up caramel syrup. Love layering this with prada candy or adding this to any fragrance with caramel since it gives it a boost. Not meant to really wear on its own as it may make some gag from how strongly syrupy sweet it is.

I layer Idôle Nectar with this to bring out its caramel note (or create it, it’s so subtle) with fantastic results. Together they are match made in heaven!
