First of all, this is not a skin scent or a light fragrance. Definitely some anosmia going on if you think so. It’s not something that will blare off your skin when you smell it on yourself, but it has great longevity and a nice scent bubble. I sprayed this on a test strip and when I came back in my room hours later all I could smell was this fragrance. I also wore 2 sprays on a jacket of mine and over 16 hours later when I opened my car the whole car smelled like it from just the jacket. As for the scent itself, it's lovely. I heard the comparisons to gris charnel and immediately tried this one out because I have been loving gris charnel. It is less similar than I was anticipating but definitely close. I would say it's in between gris charnel and gris charnel extrait. It has the depth and sweetness of the extrait, but the simplicity of the EDP. It might lean slightly lean feminine with the caramel vanilla sweetness, but the woodiness rounds it out. On my skin I don’t get a feminine vibe from it. The opening is the only thing I was iffy about when I first smelled it, but the more I spray it the more I like it. It’s only maybe the first 2 minutes where I get something off about, maybe a lipsticky smell for lack of better words. It’s gone away now the more I smell it, and it only gets better for me as it drys down. This is exactly what I have been looking for in a niche fall/winter scent. Just a not overly sweet woody fragrance. It's like a fresh block of oak that you are eating some kind of caramel candy or icecream on top of. It has been a crowd pleaser as well. Both my parents and my best friend really enjoyed it, who are tough to please especially with sweeter fragrances. My gf loves it on me as well, who’s another tough critic. Usually everything my gf really likes ends up being my most complimented fragrances, and I think this one will be too. I already received an unprompted complimented saying I smell really good from her cousin’s fiancé. I’ve only had a week of owning this and I can already say it’s a stunning fragrance that I can't wait to wear more of. 9.4/10

NEED! Creamy warm vanilla with some amber, caramel & cardamom but blended so smoothly you can’t detect the notes separately!! Bold warm vanilla on a bed of light airy cardamom 100/10.

Beautiful sweet, creamy, a bit spicy perfume. Projection and longevity is above average. Much sweeter and less spicy than Gris charnel in my opinion. Amazing scent!

Beautiful scent, but it is very faint. I have to put my nose up to my skin to smell it. Tested from an actual sample from Widian.

Another caramel scent, how many of these do houses want to make and will they really find buyers for all of them? This has been done so many times. The scent opens with caramel, it continues with caramel and it ends with caramel. At the beginning, Cardamom brings a breath of freshness to the scent, as if a pastille freshness mixed with sweetness. However, it fades very quickly. Sandalwood supports the creaminess, the thick texture, as do the base notes. Unlike "Xanat | Tomavicci" , I don't think this is an elegant or sophisticated gourmand, but just a simple toffee. If you like a scent that is clearly edible, this is for you, but I can't find it attractive, no matter how I think about it. Anyway, the quality is not bad at all, all aromas feels very realistic and natural without any unpleasant vibes. The texture is not too thick nor sticky but there is not any kind of airiness either and the scent is extremely sweet. The longevity is good, 6-7 hours and the sillage is ok as well. All I can think is that this would be beautiful on 10 year old girl but on grown up woman it would be a bit childish, tasteless and bland. This is just my opinion and as most of you know I'm not a fan of clearly edible linear gourmands. I love some scents with caramel but there has to be some very special in them like for example "Lost in Paris | Roja Parfums" , "Shalimar Millésime Iris | Guerlain" , "Chou Chou | Pierre de Velay" and "Xanat | Tomavicci" which I mentioned earlier. Thank you for reading, I hope my review was helpful.
