Crema di Latte

Reading other reviews of this scent, I can see that many Fragranticans have very strong associations between Crema di Latte and other aromas. I am no exception! I recently tried horchata for the first time, and as soon as I put this fragrance on, that experience is immediately what popped into my mind. My second thought was that it smells like the milk in your bowl after you eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch. The milk, sugar, and cinnamon are extremely realistic. I do feel like I literally smell like a creamy cinnamon beverage. I have a dabber sample from LuckyScent, but the application method doesn't stop Crema di Latte from projecting and lasting on me. Today was a day for errands, and even under my coat and scarf in the cold weather, I could smell it wafting up to me. Very nice and cozy with the nip in the air. This scent remains fairly linear on me from start to finish. I could see it being one where it might strike people more as a food flavor than a perfume. If that's what your after, though, and you want to smell like actual food dessert, then Crema di Latte will be exactly what you need.

This is quite delicious. The top notes seem to be the milk note listed, but sweet like condensed milk. The other notes really shine through in the dry down, coming together to smell very closely to vanilla bean ice cream. The first day I wore this, I got two compliments on my scent. First, a friend told me I smelled like pumpkin pie (3 hours after application). Second compliment (about 7 hours from application), another friend on a walk outside started sniffing the air and said "something smells good, like ice cream." Upon sniffing my wrist, she said, "oh its definitely you." I love gourmand perfumes that project and have amazing silage without being cloying, and this is one of those. In my opinion, this does not smell like pumpkin pie. However, it is gourmand through and through though, so I can see why pumpkin pie might be perceived. Due to the strong ice cream scent I get from this fragrance, like true vanilla bean, I feel this fragrance is still appropriate for summer despite it being so gourmand! This is definitely a perfume that is next up on my "buy list."

Never underestimate an indie-perfumer, this stuff is golden. By some rare chance when purchasing a whole bunch of white chocolate based samples an Ebayer gave a free sample of this with a purchase of a decanted Coco-Blanc by House of Matriarch. In the end it was this, the free sample that impressed the most. The scent is like a fluffy latte like scent... I just imagine marshmallows all the time when I smell it. Its nice, gentle, peaceful and most of all relaxing. I've now gifted a bottle to a loved one. It seems to project nicely, a good scent bubble.. if you stay in a room long enough it fills it but not in a way that makes you gasp for clean air as its rather gentle in the air. On a last note the lady who makes these is lovely and its my first experience buying from an indie-perfumer and won't be my last for sure. Would I buy: Yes especially as a gift Recommended: Certainly worth a sample

Crema di Latte is a gourmand that doesn't hold back. it smells like a very realistic rice pudding made with heavy condensed milk and a dash of cinnamon up top that makes me want to sneeze sometimes. Whenever I wear it out which I don't do very often people around me find it to be 'too much or too sweet' some of those people enjoy gourmands themselves but not Crema di Latte they said 'it's too cloying' so beware I however love it I find to be extremely comforting and unique. It's an unapologetic fragrance that doesn't care about boundaries or limits you want to smell sweet go ahead who cares about what others might think paired with this attitude you and Crema di Latte are a match made in heaven I on the other hand wear it mostly for myself in the comfort of my own room hehe. I get excellent performance with Crema di Latte in both longevity and projection.

HOLY lactonesssss my goodness. This smells exactly like condensed milk and I’m trying to stifle the impulse to own a full bottle for novelty’s sake. It’s just so fascinating that Soliani could make it so photorealistically milky. Crema di Latte is a whispy & cold sweet milk smell, and despite others' complaints about longevity, this is still going strong for nearly two hours now. The reviewer below me is right in that it smells coconutty. It definitely leans that way, but I can smell the intention of Crema di Latte enough to where I am still perceiving condensed milk. If you ended up not liking this on its own, it could make a great base for layering, as it’s “white-smelling" and has a musky character to it (despite no musk listed in the notes). I could definitely amp up any other gourmands in my collection by layering with this.
