Rose Custard Kulfi

Rose Custard Kulfi by Solstice Scents presents a rich, layered gourmand profile with a strong emphasis on cardamom, vanilla, coconut, and rose water. Initially, the scent bursts with an intense, almost candy-like cardamom that can feel overwhelming, paired with sweet custard, dates, and saffron notes that lend a balsamic, powdery warmth. As it develops, the fragrance settles into a creamy, nutty, and slightly jammy rose core, evoking the sensory experience of Indian kulfi. It evolves quickly and does not linger long on the skin, yet many note its exceptional longevity and addictive nature despite its delicate sillage. The opening can be quite sweet and intense, which some find overwhelming or even nausea-inducing, though it mellows to a deeply aromatic, gourmand-sweet base full of texture and depth. This scent is universally appreciated as gourmand with soul—complex, multidimensional, and not superficial. It’s not a subtle or quiet fragrance; it has presence and intensity, especially in the first hour. While it’s best suited for cooler weather and evening wear, its sweetness can create a brain fog that makes one less likely to eat dessert after wearing it. The cardamom and saffron notes are prominent and defiant in the opening stage—neither delicate nor faint. Its niche appeal lies in its bold aesthetic, combining dessert-like sweetness with spicy floral and earthy undertones.
