Volatility of notes: why the fragrance changes on the skin
You spritzed your favorite perfume in the morning, but by evening your skin smells like a different ...
We love fragrances that transport us to a special place or memory. The new 2025 release Obvious Dulce de Leche is exactly such a case.
This unisex perfume, released as part of the Kakigori collection, is like a ticket to a cozy café with a view of a caramel factory.
Created by perfumers David Frossard and Meabh McCurtain, it embodies the philosophy of the brand Obvious: obvious simplicity and sincerity.
Dulce de Leche is pure gourmand delight, but without cloyingness. The sweetness of boiled condensed milk here is framed by noble spices and warm woods.
The fragrance belongs to the gourmand family, but thanks to spicy and woody notes, it feels fresh and modern.
Its sillage is lightly perceptible — an ideal choice for those who appreciate intimate, skin-close compositions.
Dosage for comfortable wear: enough to "walk into the cloud" on the skin and make 1-2 sprays on clothing.
If you're looking for something similar in mood, check out Mancera Aoud Vanille — it also has sweet vanilla and a woody base.
But Dulce de Leche is less rich, more transparent, and perhaps more versatile.
It suits both men and women — especially those who are not afraid to wear sweet but refined fragrances in everyday life.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
A subtle trail—just a hint of fragrance
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The Dulce de Leche pyramid is built unusually: instead of the usual fruity start, a playful mix of cardamom, black pepper, and hazelnut. This spicy-nutty spark instantly attracts attention.
At the heart is the main star: boiled condensed milk, the very note for which the fragrance was created. It is soft, creamy, but not cloying.
The base is a cozy combination of guaiac wood, sandalwood, and vanilla. The woody-sweet final chord gives the composition depth and longevity.
