My sweet tooth is pretty sweet but not outrageous. I can crave and gorge, but also go without : it really depends. Recently I have had a thing for these deliciously soft and caramelic Tunisian dates – chock with antioxidants and nutrients (but also calories) : delicious with a cup of coffee if you get the mid-afternoon blues.
One of the best things about dates is that they are 100% natural. Swedish brand’s Caramel Days , conversely, categorizes itself as a ‘gourmand synthetic’ – which could quite easily be revolting. And yet I have just smelled this beautifully light and dreamy scent on a whim – like fresh caramel caught on the breeze downwind from a pristine patisserie – and found it delectable. Whether the effect would last I don’t know ( and I am not going to try it on myself when about to teach in a windowless classroom). But the blurb below describes this scent perfectly. Cute: sweet : uplifting, happy.
And there’s nothing wrong with that.
Sounds lovely. Loving the idea of a floral/citrus gourmand that’s not overwhelming.
I never liked dates from my native California, absolutely flavorless and mushy. But then I tried an Emirati variety called Khalas- chewy, vanillic, almost buttery like caramel, scrummy!
Yes ! Those sound very like the ones I have discovered – ridiculously good.
Some dates feel more like solemn legless cockroaches wrapped in cellophane
Laughed out loud at this!
how they look to me !
