The Story & Notes
Created with Salt & Straw, A Whiff of Waffle Cone was designed to capture the feeling of walking into a scoop shop. Expect vanilla, salted caramel, heavy cream, Saigon cinnamon, orgeat, and sandalwood—a playful blend that reads nostalgic yet unexpectedly chic.
Why Fans Call It a “Cozy Statement”
-
Reformulation loved:
“The new version… is a HUGE improvement… cinnamon turned way up… far more creamy/lactonic than sugary to my nose.”
-
Smoky-woody fan reactions:
“I could pick up more musky, cologne-like notes… very unisex.”
-
Cozy gourmand vibe:
“Smells like walking into a scoop shop—sweet, creamy, syrupy… a little goes a long way.”
-
Polarizing sweetness (read before blind-buying):
“Leans maple/caramel on my skin; definitely long-lasting.”

EDP vs. Body Oil: How to Wear
| Format | What You’ll Smell | Longevity | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| EDP (Spray) | Opens sweet-spiced (vanilla/caramel/cinnamon), dries into creamy woods | 6–8+ hours | Statement wear; layer over unscented lotion for extra hold |
| Hydrating Body Oil | Softer, cocooning version; amplifies creaminess and warmth | All-day skin comfort | Moisturize + scent in one; layer under/over EDP for depth |
Layering tip: Apply the body oil on freshly moisturized skin, then mist the EDP on pulse points. The oil anchors sweetness; the spray adds lift and projection.
