The take

What works

  • Salted caramel-fig-violet is a genuinely unusual, interesting combo for the price
  • Darker and moodier than Cloud — the better choice for evening wear
  • Excellent longevity that rivals fragrances three times the cost

Trade-offs

  • Salted caramel sweetness may tip over for gourmand-averse wearers
  • Limited versatility — a night scent only
