Crema di Latte
by Hilde Soliani
Crema di Latte is a profoundly sweet, milky gourmand that evokes the scent of rich custard, condensed milk, and caramelized sugar—imagine a warm, airy horchata or a freshly baked cinnamon roll with a heavy coating of sweetened cream. The scent is intensely lactonic, with a realistic, almost edible quality that lingers in the air. It opens with strong notes of milk, sugar, and vanilla, and develops into a thick, creamy, and slightly cloying base with a warm, buttery undertone. While some reviewers find it pleasantly comforting—like a cozy moment with a cup of warm milk or a pastry shop in winter—the fragrance is markedly linear and displays minimal nuance. The perfume projects moderately to strongly, lasts through a full day, and leaves a lasting impression, making it best suited for quiet, intimate settings rather than public wear. It shines in cold weather, where its warmth and comfort can be fully appreciated.
Pros
- +The fragrance has strong, lasting longevity and excellent projection, making it suitable for extended wear.
- +It delivers a highly realistic, comforting scent reminiscent of baked desserts and milk-based treats, ideal for gourmand lovers seeking immersive warmth.
- +Well-received for its cozy and soothing character, particularly effective in colder months or during quiet, personal moments.
Cons
- −The scent is overwhelmingly sweet and milky, with little complexity or evolution—many find it simplistic and overly linear.
- −It can come across as artificial or plasticky for some, especially those sensitive to exaggerated food-like smells.
- −Its heavy, cloying sweetness may be uncomfortable or off-putting in warm weather or public settings, and many feel it's too intense for everyday wear.
