Taskeen Caramel Cascade

Notes & Nuances

Taskeen Caramel Cascade comes on strong with a blast of sweet caramel. It’s good caramel, but undeniably synthetic right off the bat. Bianco Latte has a smoother, almost airy caramel; this one is denser and more sugary initially. The heart features a noticeable coumarin note, giving it a slightly almond-like, cherry facet that differentiates it a bit from the OG. The honey is dialed back; it's there, but not as prominent as in Bianco Latte. The drydown is where it gets closer – a warm vanilla and white musk blend. I'd say it gets about 86% of the way to Bianco Latte.

Bottom Line

If you're craving Bianco Latte but can't justify the price tag, Taskeen Caramel Cascade is a solid option. The opening is a bit harsher, but the drydown is close enough that most people wouldn't know the difference. This is a great everyday gourmand, perfect for cooler weather. It’s a safe blind buy for gourmand lovers. The original is undoubtedly smoother and more refined, but This is a great alternative, especially if you're on a budget.

Wear time & Sillage

The performance is beastly . It projects strongly for the first 2-3 hours, creating a noticeable scent bubble. I got a solid 8+ hours on skin, and it lasted even longer on clothes. You won't need more than a few sprays with this one.
