This smells incredible! I heard mixed reviews about this, so I was a bit worried to purchase it, but it sounded so lovely I just had to get it.When I first sprayed this, it smelled like strong rum and caramel. The caramel was rich and thick, a very beautiful scent; and the rum was overpowering (but I love a boozy note in perfumes so I really enjoyed it). Once it settles, after about 5 minutes, the rum scent completely disappears, and it smells like syrupy dates, caramel, and chocolate. The scent is a thick, heavy gourmand. The more it dries down, there’s a lactonic, milky, vanillic quality that comes out and blends so beautifully with the other notes. The scent goes from being rich and dense to far more airy. In my opinion, it smells very similar to Eclaire by Lattafa, but with more caramel and chocolate nuances. If you like Eclaire (I love Eclaire) chances are high that you will love this perfume as well. They are not the same, but they have similarities.This isn’t too heavy to wear in the summer because of the airy, sugary quality that it has. I don’t get any coffee note in this fragrance; only dates, caramel, milk, chocolate, vanilla, and sugar. It smells delicious. I’ve asked my fiance and family members what they think, and they all love it. My fiance said it replaced Eclaire as his favorite of my perfumes lol. The longevity is amazing. If I sleep in the scent, I can smell it when I wake up, and it CLINGS to clothing. It projects fairly strong for the first two hours and then fades to a moderate to low projection, where only people close to you can smell it. But the scent bubble is persistent, I can smell it on my shoulders whenever I turn my head. For anyone curious about whether it smells like Sticky Dates, I would have to say not really. I personally don’t really like that fragrance. To me, it smelled like linear date syrup with sugar (which translated to it being very maple-syrupy imo). It didn’t have caramel notes or anything else to it that people mentioned. To be fair, the lush near me seems to have a lot of fragrances that either turned, or I really just don’t like Lush fragrances. This perfume is richer and more complex, and smells more like a perfume composition than a one-note blend, if that makes sense. I highly recommend this one!
