Toffee

Montale

Calabrian lemon opens brightly before smoke takes over.

Bath & Body Works

One of Bath & Body Works' more ambitious compositions, Vanilla Noir opens with brooding berry — black currant and plum with bergamot's citrus brightness cutting the darkness.

Oriflame

Fairy City Lights announces itself as a gourmand immediately: wild strawberry and green notes provide a brief fresh opening, but the composition pivots quickly toward caramelized sweetness.

Lattafa Perfumes

Sakeena opens with a fruit-and-sea accord that is unusually light for this house: passionfruit and mandarin orange over a breath of ozonic salt, which gives the opening a summery, aquatic-fruity character that reads more contemporary than classic Lattafa.

Carolina Herrera

212 Glam announces its intentions upfront: toffee in the opening is unmistakably gourmand, a caramelized sweetness that sets the tone for everything that follows.
