Caramel is sugar taken seriously: burnt, buttery, slightly salty at its best, the difference between candy and confectionery. In fragrance it signals full-commitment gourmand territory, nobody wears caramel by accident, and its density means it projects and lasts like little else. Angel started this whole conversation, caramel and cotton candy over dark patchouli, still one of the most recognizable scents ever made. Scandal softens the idea with honey and blood orange, while The Most Wanted turns caramel masculine, pouring it over cardamom and woods for maximum evening swagger. Cold months only, two sprays maximum, and expect to be remembered: caramel scents leave a wake, which is either the point or the problem.
