What does 02 Cold Caramel smell like?

It opens with spices and caramel together, the spices keeping the caramel's sweetness from turning heavy. In the heart, Tahitian orchid and tonka bean add a floral, creamy smoothness. The base of amber and Bourbon vanilla settles it onto a warm, woody, oriental footing.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good and consider it good value, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Its sweet build suggests cooler weather. It is marketed as a men's scent, but the gourmand and powdery side gives it a warmth that can read as unisex.
