I have the same issue with Prada candy, but I’ve been layering it with Oil Perfumery Prada candy oil, and omg it’s such a game changer! It makes the fragrance last so long, and smell even sweeter and more decadent! The oil is so affordable too, it’s fantastic! 🍬
Here are my favorite Caramel perfumes: -Rose Caramel by Victoria's Secret (my top favorite caramel scent😊) -Amberlicious Cherry The Dua Brand (cherry & caramel combo) -Gold Couture by Juicy couture -SOL Cheirosa ’62 -Mon parfum cristal & Guerlain Mon Exclusif (for the toffee) -The Only One by Dolce&Gabbana -Arancia di Capri Acqua di Parma (caramel in the base) -Giselle by Carla Fracci 🤤🍬
Its pronounced dool-say de leche :) I love caramel notes! I am a gourmand lover! Thx for this video! I have the same frustration you have with my Brazilian Bum Bum original scent spray as well as the newer Cheirosa one! They smell delicious but fade within 10 or so minutes! Ugh. Pink Sugar has been in my collection for years and anytime I wore it I got complimented. I smell cotton candy more than caramel though.
HI SARAH, I think my favorite caramel scent is 🧡Midnight Amber Glow from Bath & Body Works.🧡 It's more Amber than caramel. I own it in body spray and I get long lasting stay. I love Sol de Janeiro in small doses It's right on the cusp of too saccharin sweet for me. A caramel perfume I wish I owned is Unknown Pleasures.🤩
I have to say the very first time I have ever heard of almond musk perfume oil and Apple and aces was from your channel months back I finally not the bullet and Sarah wow wow wow there both stunning lol 😂 I know this comment has nothing to do with this video, but I had to let you know I think I’m going to layer the almond musk with my Nishane 100 silent ways ❤that’s gonna be absolutely delicious together
Thank you so much for filming this video per my request, dear Sarah! :) I definitely have to test Dalal & Vanilla Woods. I really wanted Private Show to work for me, but as many Britney fragrances, it had a soapy feel about it, same with Fancy and Gold Cotoure. Candy I get, but it's not quite what I am looking for. Italica is definitely one of those too edible smelling caramels. I also prefer a perfumy, airy caramel. My personal faves in my caramel journey so far are R.E.M. & Good Girl Légère. Yes I Am is also nice. Looking forward to part 2! :)
There are usually 2 reasons why you can find differences in performance: Different batches Testers have been sitting out for a longer time which causes reactions within the ingredients. Mainly with perfumes that contain Vanilla, caramel, praline, rum and Tonka. I'm sure there are other reasons but when working in retail that's what I learnt over the years and what they taught us in Harrods
Interesting to hear your take on different batches. I tried Bubble Bath in store and it was amazing…sweet and soapy. Ordered a bottle and it was sharp and smells like cleaning fluid. Huge bummer.
I love L de Lolita! It came out 5 years before Lira and out performs her in every way. I have FB of both. Another one that is similar but with vetiver is midnight silhouette.
I have to agree with you about Dalal being a great caramel and a bargain to boot. Tip: When you get a bottle, spray in the air first to clear the nozzle before you spray on yourself.
The Skylars performance is so unfortunate. Yes-- too expensive for something that performs like air. I have a small bottle of Good Girl Légère that my boyfriend bought me for my bday because it was, I quote him, "the best thing he ever smelled". I kept my bottle around to wear around him BUT for the last three months I'm really getting into it. I'm wearing it right now. The Dulce de leche in the base is transporting me to a world of sweet heaven.
To add to your "Fancy" commentary...I bought a full size 2 years ago and hated it. I'd have to layer it with Bath&Body Works Vanilla/gourmand scents to get any caramel/vanilla goodnes....until !!!!- it aged. Just recently as the juice is at its near end...it smells incredible. Very carmel, nutty, vanilla gourmand. The juice is even darker in the bottle now. So I'm thinking it smells best-older🤔 Thoughts????
That is probably it! It probably just needs to be an older bottle that has had time to age. I will have to the purchase a big bottle and put it away for a year. ❤️
I wish I smelled "Prada Candy" the way you do Sarah! I smell this and all I get is Kenzo, the original, super powdered! I'm anosmic to "Private Show" too! Great video anyhow...
I love vanilla woods! It's one of my go to perfumes. Have you smelled Kyse Douceur Brulee and Alkemia Silken Tent? Those are two really great caramel perfumes that come to mind. Silken Tent actually has that "perfumey caramel" thing going on.
I had a sample of the Skylar Vanilla sky eau de parfum and it lasted a while, then I bought the eau de toilette on Mercari and definitely noticed a slight scent profile difference and definitely a performance issue. I need to try an actual eau de parfum bottle.
I love Be Layered's Sweet Caroline. It's a beautiful caramel note that shines. I have tried so many DUA and just can't get it right. I decluttered all but three (travel sprays) and I wouldn't repurchase those. The Madagascar vanilla is pure pineapple. Made me super sad. The Jessica Simpson link leads to Juicy Noir. I'm interested in the batch # too! Thank you for teaching us novice fragrance lovers about this!
Pink Sugar is like my literal nightmare in a perfume. I am not a fan of cupcake, sugary pastry scents without anything to balance it out. I don't understand how people can wear them. 🙃 To each their own! The most "Gourmand" perfume I've liked is Pilar and Lucy's Exact Friction of Stars which I got a sample of and it surprised me. It's a wearable gourmand for me.
Thank you for the video! Very interesting, informative and personal - as always. The strange thing with myself and my way of enjoying perfumes is that I absolutely love the smell of sweet, dense caramel scents- but I don’t enjoy wearing them! I only want to sniff them 😂 Personally I wear rather unisex, dry, spicy and green perfumes 9 days out of 10. Even though I have never commented on that on your channel… since I’ve noticed that you are (mostly)all about that sweet, dark, sugary stuff ❤ again, don’t get me wrong: I love it… thick, syrupy flowery lava, that’s gorgeous… on others.😉blessings
I second that! :) Great cardamom & caramel fragrances are Penhaligon's Changing Constance and Minuit et Demi by Fragrance Dubois. Both pretty pricey though. :/
Hi Sarah, have you tried Rrrr! by Carmen Electra? I enjoy it sometimes as a very cosy snuggly scent. The bottle is absolutely awful though. It's very affordable. I wont rebuy it but I do like it. 😁
So I have a full bottle of L and I have the same experience where it smells off when initially sprayed but dry down is a nice warm cinnamon vanilla caramel scent. I've read this from a few ppl who own this fragrance so I think it may just be the way its made
I have the same issue with Prada candy, but I’ve been layering it with Oil Perfumery Prada candy oil, and omg it’s such a game changer!
It makes the fragrance last so long, and smell even sweeter and more decadent! The oil is so affordable too, it’s fantastic! 🍬
I will definitely check it out! ❤️
I can't even count how many times tester bottles were more successful than boxed bottles.
It’s a problem! ❤️

Two of my favorite caramel perfumes happen to be Indies. Solstice Scents Owl Creek Aleworks and Wylde Ivy Caramel Darling. Both delicious!!

I have really grown to appreciate the note of caramel. 🥰🙏
🥰🥰🥰

The little bottle is so cute! Let us know the Fancy batch code in the comments, please? 😊
Thanks a lot sarah🌸🌸
I love Prada candy so much🥰

Vanilla Sky lasts on me too. 😍 I love it.
Thank your Sarah for your wonderful content. I love it for its variety. Looking forward to part 2 of caramel fragrances :)
❤️❤️❤️
Some of my favorite scents just don't last long, and sometimes that's the tradeoff for amazingness.
The Skylars performance is so unfortunate. Yes-- too expensive for something that performs like air.

The Dulce de leche in the base is transporting me to a world of sweet heaven.
I love that Dalal too-lasting power is so-so at best, but I don’t even care.
It’s so bad that the tester’s are better than the retail ones… it’s false advertising

Yes! Prada Candy is very powdery for sure. ❤️
Prada candy is the best. It stays alll day for me and stays in my clothes until it washed

Caramel Pomme delight is great! I have a bottle of the “L” by Lolita Lempicka and I love it…not sure why they would stop producing it. TFS!
Pink Sugar is like my literal nightmare in a perfume. I am not a fan of cupcake, sugary pastry scents without anything to balance it out. I don't understand how people can wear them. 🙃 To each their own! The most "Gourmand" perfume I've liked is Pilar and Lucy's Exact Friction of Stars which I got a sample of and it surprised me.

I hope I don't offend anyone by the above. I have smelled pink sugar on other people and it smells like its beautiful on them! Just is not for me!
Nasty. Smells like cat pee pee to me.
No offense taken! We all have our own preferences. 🥰❤️
The only perfume I have with caramel is Scandal which I love.

I love caramel and dulce de Leche. I have lots of the same Sarah. ❤
Please can you do a cardamom one, if you have that type of fragrance
I second that! :) Great cardamom & caramel fragrances are Penhaligon's Changing Constance and Minuit et Demi by Fragrance Dubois. Both pretty pricey though. :/
I do have a lot of Cardamom so I will do that! ❤️
Yum!
Thanks ❤
Hi Sarah, have you tried Rrrr! by Carmen Electra? I enjoy it sometimes as a very cosy snuggly scent. The bottle is absolutely awful though. It's very affordable. I wont rebuy it but I do like it. 😁
Hi there! I have been tempted to buy it so many times but my gut tells me I won’t love it. ❤️🥰
So I have a full bottle of L and I have the same experience where it smells off when initially sprayed but dry down is a nice warm cinnamon vanilla caramel scent. I've read this from a few ppl who own this fragrance so I think it may just be the way its made
That is good to know! ❤️
Oh man I wish I liked viva la juicy noir! All I could smell was sandalwood and to say I'm not a fan of sandalwood is an understatement :(
I bought fancy and jimmy choo elicit but they are too strong I cannot sleep with those lol how can I make them smell lighter lol
Lol, you tried with the Dulce De Leche. It is more like Doo-lh-ss-eeh, if that makes sense, lol. Hope that helps
Mon guerlain intense smells just like The original- just stronger. To me anyway.
Hello Sarah, you should do a video on toxic perfumes ? ☠️
Can you do your oil collection for this theme video
hey Sarah- at least the first three links all go to Skyler
Hi there! I will go in and fix them! 🥰
Do you anything about caramel dreams sabrina carpenter??
I don’t but I will look into it! ❤️🥰
@@SarahMayes i cant find it anywhere lol
