Toffee Buttercups & Waffles

Toffee Buttercups & Waffles takes the cosy gourmand style Juliet Rose is known for and lightens it. It is sold as an eau de toilette, and the seller pitches it for warmer weather while saying the cosy mood works in cooler months too. A buyer confirms the lighter hand, noting that sillage and longevity are lower than in an eau de parfum. The opening is a toffee and waffle combination, with a hint of rose and lotus blossom over cream and coconut. Juicy pear and apple then brighten the sweetness, and butterscotch and caramel build in the middle, so a buyer describes caramel first and then a honeyed sweetness. The base rests on brown sugar, dates, tonka bean, vanilla and white musk. It is easy to wear: sweet, warm and nostalgic rather than heavy. A buyer calls it a gourmand perfect for summer, and the seller suggests holidays, twilight and evenings in front of the television. Expect a moderate performance and a close, comforting trail. It sits with the toffee and caramel gourmands, offering a fruitier, lighter reading than the shop's eau de parfum toffees. It is made by hand by Juliet Rose and comes in sizes from a sample to 100 ml.
