Caramel Macchiato

* Very pleasing coffee forward gourmand fragrance * Good blend of coffee, amber, caramel and vanilla notes * Sweeter and fresher than the rest of the Coffee Collection line * Great for gourmand lovers and those who love sweet fragrances * A good entry into gourmand style DNA for younger users who like sweet and fresh fragrances * Great for social occasions * Good for all seasons * Unisex * Good for users of all ages * Good performer * Beautiful presentation * A surprising amount of competition in the sweet gourmand coffee market (Rochas, Fire Your Desire, Khamrah, Qahwa, etc.) * Not as strong a performer as some of its competition * Sweetness may throw off those that like the other drier flankers in the Coffee Collection line * Aroma can be lost in certain environments (coffee shop, lunch, room, cafeteria, kitchen, etc.) where there is real coffee Fragrance World's Caramel Macchiato is an aptly flanker in their original Coffee Collection line. It does in fact smell pretty much exactly like a macchiato coffee topped with caramel syrup. The good but simple note lineup is simply sweet coffee, amber, vanilla and amber notes blended perfectly in balance to emulate what it's named after. You get exactly what you paid for. This is sweeter and fresher than the other flankers in the Coffee Collection line which tend to be drier. As such, it is a good entry into gourmand style fragrances for younger users who enjoy fresh and sweet style fragrances. Those who do not enjoy sweet fragrances should go for the other drier flankers such as Kopi Luwak or Qahwa. For those who do enjoy sweeter coffee fragrances, there is a surprising amount of competition on the market that Caramel Macchiato has to go up against. Rochas for Man, Fire Your Desire, and Khamrah Qahwa immediately come to mind. Even non-coffee forward fragrances that otherwise perform similarly such as Eclaire come to mind. This is good for users of all ages in all seasons. It's great for social occasions and totally unisex. Performance is good, though many of its competitors are much stronger and nuclear in comparison. Note that the fragrance can be lost in environments where real coffee aromas can be found such as your local coffee shop, office lunch room or home kitchen. Highly recommended, especially for gourmand lovers.

Vanilla and coffee. I've smelt Lattafa Khamrah Qahwa a few times and, from memory, Fragrance World Caramel Macchiato smells very similar but with a grittier and slightly stronger coffee note, and a slightly less-smooth and slightly lower-quality blend. Khamrah Qahwa is noticeably smoother and smells higher quality. If you want a slightly more jarring blend with slightly more prominent coffee that you can more easily notice as coffee because it's both a little more prominent and also not blended together as smoothly, you can go for Caramel Macchiato. Regarding maturation, your bottle may also take a month to get smoother. Both are very nice scents but I would only recommend Caramel Macchiato if you can get it at half the price of Khamrah Qahwa - however, even at the price that Qahwa goes for, this would arguably still be worth it given that it's quite nice. Finally, this smells like Khamrah Qahwa, and definitely not like standard Khamrah. This doesn't smell like Angels' Share, though it's in the same general theme of moderately-sweet vanilla winter fragrances. This definitely doesn't smell like Mancera Amore Caffe nor the clone Maison Asrar Coffee Blend - though it's in the same general theme.

The other reviews here are accurate, Caramel Macchiato by Fragrance World definitely reminds me of Khamrah Qahwa. It's sweet and boozy, but with the addition of caramel and a heavier emphasis on coffee. Performance is good enough, it projects moderately for a couple hours (about 3 to my nose) and sticks around for about 8 or so hours. I find this scent to be unisex, it's really easy to wear. If you already have Khamrah Qahwa, there's a chance that you will find Caramel Macchiato to be redundant. Personally, I much prefer Caramel Macchiato's composition, but factors like price and performance may sway your preference. If you are interested in other fragrances from the Coffee Collection, I recommend checking out Qahwa and Affogato.

This is truly beautiful! Its definitely not as coffee as the Qahwa offering in the line, but its more of a creamy cappuccino with a lovely flavoured sweetness. Update after 2 months: I was expecting more of the coffee note after maceration, but truly its even less so, its more of a really sweet apple cider. Its lovely anyway not the coffee I was looking for, but a good perfume anyway. I also got Artisan Ethnique by lattafa which has a bit of likeness with this only less fruity and more of the coffee, cocoa and powdered sugar. In a sense its kind of what I expected this to be!

Oh wow 🤩 had to have it based on the notes and I don’t regret it one bit! This is niche quality for a fragment of the price (£35 in UK). It’s a boozy coffee scent with vanilla and caramel sweetness. It’s beautifully rounded and long lasting. Completely unisex imo. Absolutely my type of perfume. Reminds me of Lattafa Khamrah Qahwa but boozier. Now I need to try the rest of this collection! I love perfumes and splurge on them regularly, but lately I noticed the rise in quality of these arabic brands and I’m here for it!

Oh this is sweet and heavy! I immediately thought of Kharmah because of the sweet, thick dates in the opening. However there is the addition of a coffee note in Caramel Macchiato, as well as a slight spiciness. It's actually a mix between Khamrah and Khamrah Qahwa, with the sweet dates of the original and the coffee and spiciness of KQ. I actually prefer Caramel Macchiato to KQ because of the sweet caramel. I really enjoy it!! It will be amazing during the winter months.

I saw people comparing it to lattafa kamrah. They smell slightly familiar but that's where similarities end. This is better formulated for 1. This has a sweet coffee note. The amber with caramel give you a sweet powdery amber like amber in sandalwood attar. If you know you know what that attar smells like it heaven. That attar scent is the dry down. I smell the dates throughout on my skin with wiffs of coffee here & there. I personally think its better than kamrah

Love it so much! It has similarities with Khamrah but I definietly prefer Caramel Macchiato, bit more sweeter, blended much better than Khamrah and not that spicy. I love this one so much I'm sure I will repurchase it very soon. My one of the most complimented fragrances that I have.

Wow! Just wow!Smells like a cappuccino, with lots of sugar and caramel syrup, but the sugar it's a little burnt.Very elegant fragrance and it became one of my favorites

so yummy.... smells just like apple pie in the opening and dries down to a caramelly, woody, coffee scent. yum yum yum. smells edible af

beautifully crafted, rich and realistic coffee gourmand. from the box, to the bottle to the scent, i love it.

im very sure why this is got just 4rating, bc of all women

A far more feminine and sweet version of Khamrah qawah

Haven't tried Khamrah or Angels' Share, so I'm just going to describe what I'm getting as it is. Sticky, syrupy date and coffee cake drenched in creamy caramel sauce. Very, very sweet and quite heavy. It doesn't last super long, but you can definitely smell it on somebody within a room. Hell for anyone who loves fresher scents, heaven for gourmand lovers. This is as dessert-like as a fragrance can get, IMO. However, it's not entirely realistic levels of foody - you can definitely smell the woody and patchouli notes in the far back, and that rounds out the scent nicely, making it wearable if you can stand the overall sweetness. It's not something I can imagine someone wearing everyday - but it sounds perfect for cozy frosty weather when you're endlessly craving desserts and coffee. I honestly didn't expect to like it, turns out I do - when the mood is right.

Am I the only one who gets Kayali Invite Only Amber? The opening is very realistic coffee (black, espresso not sweet latte) but the dry down to me is so similar to the Kayali one. I wanted the apple pie note everyone was talking about, but I don’t get it. 😞 It is a brand new bottle though, so it’ll go and sit in the dark for a few months and we’ll try it in the spring to see how it has developed.

Solid fragrance overall. Reminds me of a toned down version of Khamrah Qahwa with a layer of caramel on top. Doesn't beat Khamrah Qahwa in my opinion but a solid option if you don't like the chocolatey dry down of that fragrance since this one dries down to a weaker version of the caramel Arabic coffee opening. Projection and longevity are both shorter than Khamrah Qahwa.

The perfume is really similar to khamrah but i think the added caramel note makes it slightly better. projects well. lasts long. Warning to not overspray this alot, as it can smell like soy sauce that way, atleast to me. The coffee is definitely reminding me of a cappucino more than an americano and i love that. perfect for colder weather!

Lovely sweet and warm coffee scent. It’s amazing quality at a great price. But I don’t really need it in my collection since I have similar scents such as Khamrah Qahwa. It is nice yes, but it isn’t extraordinary in my humble opinion. Maybe I need to try others from the line?

Definitely smells like Khamrah with less cinnamon which is perfect, since a cinnamon note gets frustratingly Hobby Lobby on me. But I still wanted that cozy boozy winter scent. Likeable.

This to me is a slightly sweeter version of Khamrah Qahwah. Really does smell like coffee, with some spice. Excited to wear this during winter 😋 To me it’s a perfectly unisex scent.
