Rose Caramel
by Victoria's Secret
Rose Caramel by Victoria's Secret is a soft, gourmand fragrance centered around a harmonious blend of rose, caramel, and subtle jasmine. The rose note is prominent and well balanced, with a creamy sweetness that keeps it from becoming overly cloying. The caramel is not overpowering—it comes through early as a warm, edible base, but fades quickly into a faint sweetness on the dry down. The scent evolves from a sweet, floral opening to a more floral and sharp jasmine-forward dry down, with the caramel note disappearing entirely after 30 minutes. It's warm, smooth, and comforting, perfect for cooler months, especially autumn and winter. The performance is moderate with a relatively short-lasting wear on skin, though it may linger longer on clothing. It’s a quietly sensual and elegant fragrance, favored by those who appreciate sweet, nuanced gourmands with a floral heart. The packaging is praised as elegant and standout. Despite its popularity, it has been discontinued, making it rare and sought after.
