Another salty-sweet, beachy perfume...
For a caramel scent, this is unusually fresh and clean, but that doesn't mean that it's not a true caramel. It's just really salty and mineralic and has a lot of creamy, beachy jasmine in addition to the salted caramel! As the scent dries down, it turns sweeter and warmer and the caramel becomes more and more prominent.
If you like the idea of a caramel perfume but usually find them too sticky and sweet, this could be worth looking into. It's very wearable and not as gourmandish or girly as most caramel scents. It's also not as original as some other Bohoboco fragrances, but maybe I just think that because salty-sweet, warm fragrances really had their moment since this came out in 2016. When it was new, the trend had just started with CK Reveal and Paco Rabanne Olympea. Sea Salt Caramel reminds me a bit of both of them, but it's not as sweet as Olympea and less woodsy than reveal. It just has that creamy, mineral-infused texture, if that makes sense to you.
Still, as I'm testing this in 2023, I think there are many scents that do salted caramel in a more interesting way. I also think a little less jasmine wouldn't have hurt. This is nice, but it doesn't blow me away.
