Notes: milk, sugar, vanilla
Comment: Crema di Latte is part of the Teatro Olfattivo Parma 08 Collection
Based on the Sicilian pastry-filling, primarily consisting of milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon and lemon zest, Crema di Latte is potentially a gourmand lover's wet dream.
It's intensely lactonic, with an exceedingly rich blend of full-fat cream, vanilla essence and caramel. The syrupy opening is very similar to sweetened condensed milk, before a buttery eggnog mid-stage presents itself. When it finally settles down, it smells closer to hot milk with a light serving of spices.
While one applauds Hilde Soliani for the composition, it's not endearing enough to be worn on a daily basis (let alone owning 100ml). Furthermore, even though its excessive sweetness makes a statement, its lasting power and sillage both fail to do the same.
