The 7 Virtues Buttercream Haze is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Julie Pluchet. Buttercream Haze opens with Vanilla and Butter, settles into a heart of Maple and Caramel, and dries down to a base of Tonka Bean. The 7 Virtues's Buttercream Haze carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper sweet shop, but a highly divisive one. Lots reckon it's a spot-on dessert, while others find it cloying, artificial, or, incredibly, like cat pee or instant noodles. Try before you buy, unless you fancy a very expensive gamble.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Date

Its intensely sweet and often heavy gourmand nature, coupled with comments about strong sillage (at least initially), makes it unsuitable for professional settings. It's best suited for casual, relaxed wear, particularly when you want to feel snug and indulgent, with some calling it a good bedtime scent.

About

Buttercream Haze opens with a hefty dose of vanilla and buttercream, often with a surprising, zesty lemon lift. This quickly deepens into a decadent, syrupy heart of maple and caramel, delivering an incredibly sweet, gourmand profile. The drydown settles into a woody tonka bean base, attempting to ground the sweetness, though some find it turns oddly earthy or masculine.
