Dulce de Leche Sufganiyot

Recommended Posts

There's an initial blast of something sharp and... high? thin? flat? that quickly recedes to reveal a more recognizable coconut and, over the next half hour, a gentle, delicate caramel blend. Once that initial ba-bam dissipates, the scent is sweet and lovely and hard to stop sniffing.

Nice for layering but it's faint and does come off as more of a caramel syrup than a thick rich sauce. I'll pair it with a caramel EDP in my collection.

Super sugary caramel in the bottle, with a distinctly foodie (as opposed to beachy) note of toasted coconut. That hyper-sweetness disappears immediately on my skin, leaving behind a soft, barely-there caramel scent. I really had to slather to get this one to show up, but what's there is very pleasant. Best used for days when you want something subtle and sweet.

In the bottle, this is indeed a milky caramel. Caramel notes sometimes go flat on me, if they're too much about the sugar and not enough something to balance that. If this one holds, it'll become an instant favorite. 🤞

As it warms up, the milk is indeed still present, but shifts toward being a warm-milk-with-sugar situation instead of an integrated caramel as it was in the bottle. It's still good, but not this "oh man I'm going to gnaw my own arm" kind of good. 

In full drydown that whisper of coconut reveals itself to be similar to the Coconut Tree single note- not suntan lotion and not foodie but more of a dried coconut husk. It's not gourmand, but frankly, I think it's more interesting, providing more gravitas for the other notes.

To my astonishment, the fried-dough note that puts the "Suf" in nearly all Sufganiyot blends, is entirely absent here! I don't know if the other notes, being so rich, are somehow shrouding the dough or if it's just not so present in this blend, regardless, it's not really accounted for.

In all, a low throw daytime scent that is right at home in any nice gourmand collection and an interesting addition to the Sufganiyot universe.
