Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Its moderate performance and sweet, warm profile make it better suited for evening and casual wear, especially in colder months. While some reviews mention wearing it to work, its gourmand nature and occasional strong projection mean it's not ideal for all office environments.

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Spell Caramel opens with a zesty, almost burnt blood orange and a spicy kick from ginger and cardamom. As it settles, a smooth, sweet caramel and vanilla emerge, tempered by the intriguing, almost peachy nuance of osmanthus and a touch of dark licorice. The dry down retains a comforting sweetness, occasionally hinting at a warm, woody depth, like amber or tobacco, creating a complex gourmand profile.
