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!

I'm loving this scent sooooo much!!! The caramel stands out and the rose is subtle but noticeable and the hints of faint jasmine all blend beautifully together. The longevity and sillage are both moderate on me. This is such a nice unique scent I don't own anything like it in my collection.

This is such a warm creamy rose scent. Very sophisticated. Not too rosey but a perfect balance. All of these perfumes in this line smell really good. Definitely worth a sniff!

This is so beautiful, feminine and gracious. I'm in love.

Rose Caramel is probably the most sophisticated of the Victoria Secret fragrances I've tried. I find jasmine is the dominant note, which makes it a little sharp. I get a hint of rose, and I can smell a faint whiff of caramel in the dry down, which is disappointing because it would suit me better if it were sweeter. I wouldn't call it a gourmand scent, more floral, with a hint of sweetness from the caramel. I am not disappointed in the longevity. It's powerful for a VS scent. It lasts for hours on my skin, and on my clothing for days. A good fragrance for fall and winter. The packaging, both the bottle and the presentation box is gorgeous. It looks expensive. Definitely worth a try if you are looking for something a little different.

This leans more fruity gourmand than floral, let alone rose. It has a similar warmth and sweet, ripe fruitiness of Fancy, which is one of my all time favourites. Fancy though is more potent, which can be a good thing or not. The dry down is surprisingly warm and comforting to me, and has the sweetness of licorice and caramel. It's among my favourite fruity gourmands, but as a rose scent or even rose jam, there are more suitable options. The rose is not very dominating, realistic, powdery, sour or tangy. The depth is created by the vanilla. I love the bottle even though the plastic cap feels a bit cheap.

I'm being 100% honest when I say that if I had to give up all my fragrances but one, I would chose to keep this one. This is like a guilty pleasure in a bottle to me. I happen to love sweet scents, and also Rose. But seriously this is the most yummy fragrance I own. Complicated? No. Mysterious? No. But I am drenched in sweet, creamy rose goodness when I wear this to the point where I literally can't think of anything that smells better than ME in that moment. I will admit to owning THREE bottles of this. Limited edition it was (sadface) and I Cannot bear to think of being without this beauty.

Gooey, caramel drizzled roses. This is a truly gourmand fragrance. It's sweet and warm and cozy - a perfect cool weather scent. I can understand the comparison to Fancy, but really it's only the caramel they have in common. I get a sharpness in Fancy (which I attribute to the red berries) that is noticeably missing in Rose Caramel. Delicious fragrance! I am also in love with the packaging - for the whole line, and this bottle especially. I hope VS continues to use the simpler packaging - and that they stay away from the doggone atomizers!

This is probably the nicest, closest scent to caramel I have ever smelled. It's there, but it's not overwhelmingly cloying or sweet. The rose tempers the gourmand notes to make this a pleasant wear. One spray is enough. I could have easily confused this for a niche or designer scent. The bottle and box are gorgeous.

Not your typical VS perfume. Deep roses covered in a drizzle of warm, rich caramel. More rose than caramel, a good perfume for fall and winter. I initially really enjoyed this, but the more I wear it the more I detect a rose soap note that I'm not enjoying. I'm glad I only purchased a purse spray.

Rich, warm luscious caramel dipped rose petals. Very sexy and soft, I've had lots of compliments on this, especially since the weather is getting cold here in the UK. The bottle is a heavy glass and is absolutely divine, it's a real show-stopper on my vanity table. Expensive, but worth the price.

Oh perfect for fall/winter! Lasted about 5 hours, too. Warm, sweet and creamy. The rose note is very prominent and mixes well with caramel. The best part is that it smells like nothing I own :) I wouldn't say I love it, but I do like it.

Something about this one smelled off to my nose and I think it's the way the caramel and rose are mixing. This one is too sticky sweet (in an obvious synthetic way) and mixing with the rose it just doesn't smell as sophisticated as it should. If the caramel was toned way down (or of better quality) then it would be nice, but as is it is not a pleasant experience.

Uh, definitely not what I was expecting from seeing the notes and reading the reviews. This smells really burnt and Smokey, probably from the caramel. The rose is there (and peppery smelling) but overpowered by that burnt smell. Overall, disappointed.

I've thought about blind buying this a few times. I love caramel and rose as notes, but together that sounded strange. I was way off. I got a nice sized sample in a swap and as soon as I sprayed it I wanted more. I doused myself in and kept smelling my wrists. This has got to be the best VS perfume ever! The review below mine was dead on. Deep roses drizzled in warm caramel. It's also a bit more grown up compared to most VS frags. I love VS, but I do think the majority of frags are aimed at women a decade yoUnger than myself. (I'm 34) I'll be buying a FB asap! I should actually stock up before it is impossible to find.

This is a fun, flirty, sugary, not too abstract caramel-infused rose scent, and it seems to glide effortlessly for use between seasons. The projection is about arm’s length, the longevity is poor at around 2-3 hours on skin, still I’m glad to get my hands on this little beauty for a fraction of what’s currently asking for on Ebay and Mercari. Now, if you were looking for fragrances in the vein of VS’s caramel and rose but with more weight and depth to its character, try Nina Ricci L’Extase or L’Extase Rose Absolute, they’re divine.
