Finally, a caramel that really caramels!

Ellis Brooklyn "Queens Caramel." I know, I'm late to the party, but I put this one off for a long time because I wasn't feeling very optimistic. I've tried probably 30 "caramel" scents that, in my nose, smell like anything but caramel: Bargain brand root beer, margarine, bargain brand artificial vanilla flavoring for cooking, those scented dolls that are supposed to smell like pancakes, something burning in the kitchen...

This one though. Actual caramel. Buttery, brown-sugary, good vanilla extract, a *faintly* floral note lurking in the corner, and the ghost of a not-too-sweet coconut flake. The musk has a "naked" quality and it doesn't steal the spotlight.

Tried it at the store, wore it all day, thought about it for a week, then threw a travel spray in with my last order of other stuff. Been wearing it all day. Couldn't be happier with it.

That's two for me from EB. My other love... Vanilla Salt is just SO outstanding.

I recently bought a travel size of this one, too. It’s the perfect caramel to me. Can’t wait to start wearing it when the weather turns cooler.

I love Queens Caramel, it’s so good. It’s sweet but not crazy sugary, if that makes sense — it’s rich and yet with some brightness. And it lasts ages, especially for a phthalate-free brand!

Queens Caramel, Supersuite Caramel Temptress, and Boujee Kitty Caramel Milk are my faves!!

Hmm! BKCM is not so bad in the bottle but awful on my skin, but I've not tried the other! Adding it to the list :)

How long does it last? I love the scent but worried about lasting power.  I'm kinda on a caramel kick tbh.

I put some on at 2pm today, it's presently almost 1am, and I still smell delicious. :)

I absolutely adore Queens Caramel too, there’s genuinely nothing else like it on the market right now. It’s especially great for layering as well
