Rose Caramel

This is my signature for winter. (Day&Night) I've been blessed to get my hands on an unopened bottle last month. And it takes me back to when I first purchased this when it was first released in 2017. It's niche, now that it's been discontinued for three years and it's expensive to buy with the few bottles left being sold on ebay... So simplistic with 3 notes but it's quite the journey whilst wearing it. On first spray, rose is all I smell and some sweetness from the caramel. Then two minutes later the jasmine comes in strong, it overpowers the hint of caramel and it becomes Jasmine and rose with a VERY small hint of caramel. Which is not a bad thing. It ́s perfectly balanced. After 30 minutes to an hour (on the dry down) it becomes jasmine forward, with rose as the background dancer. The caramel has completely dissapated at this point. This perfume is a safe blind buy as it is crowd pleasing. I wish the sillage was way better ; It would be perfect then. But longevity is moderate about 6 hours on clothing, sometimes longer but its poor on my skin (around 3-4 hours max.) If you can get your hands on it, you're lucky. definitely worth any price its being sold for. It ́s a timeless perfume. Very sensual and slightly sexy. Perfect cold weather fragrance. For all ages (but if I had to put a age range on it 18 and older).

Rose caramel is truly gorgeous. The caramel comes through loud and clear. The rose is subtle. It's more gourmand than floral. This one reminds me of an old Victoria Secret scent, "Mood- Sweet Cravings, or maybe it was Succulent??". Anyway; if you liked any of the old Mood fragrances, this one is worth a shot. It's very different from the usual Victoria Secret line-up. I'm not really a fan of the others in this line, although I did get the rose musk as a free travel spray when I bought rose caramel. Maybe it will grow on me? The Rose Bergamot is a harsh, screechy rose to my nose. Rose Violet is not that unique. Rose Musk is interesting, but very reminiscent of an "older" scent. Anyway, go take a sniff. You will smell them and not think they are Victoria Secret scents..

Wow! This is a rose-flavored Lira... very caramel forward with just a hint of citrusy rose. It's beautiful. Why oh why would Victoria's Secret ever discontinue this?? I blind bought recently, although it's been on my radar for a while now. Once I sprayed it on my skin I immediately ordered a back-up. I'm fortunate that scents seem to last on my skin, even when others complain about longevity. But I'm also a super-layerer, so I'm already thinking of what body cream I'll pair this with. Signature scent worthy in my book. Just so, so good.

I wanted to buy this perfume so badly, but I waited a while, then when I finally went back to buy this, they didn't have it anywhere! Not online at VS, nor in the store! I found out later that it was a limited edition and I missed out! It smelled sooo delicious!! Literally like the name, rose caramel! I usually don't like the smell of roses in my perfume as they tend to give this powdery smell to it, however this smelled so yummy! Hopefully they decided to bring this fragrance back, because I will be purchasing this in a heartbeat!

Simple but STUNNING! Sweet, edible rose. Not jammy but sugary and creamy! It has just enough of both caramel and rose that neither note overpowers the other. They play together in perfect harmony! I think this is light enough to be worn in any season, but I can see why people would make it exclusive to fall/winter. Lasting power isn’t great on this but it’s a VS, so I wasn’t expecting to be blown away by that. But all in all I’m reallllly loving this little gem, and so glad I got my hands on it!
