Or rather it is a caramel-esque scent right enough, but the name lacks gravitas!<br /><br />Sorry your own airport duty free perfume options will not be "up to snuff".

I haven't smelled it yet-the name was putting me off. It helps that you liked it too. <br /><br />I've also been wanting to try 'Jasminora'.
