The Scent: The core notes expressed in Demeter's Sticky Toffee Pudding are the dates and the toffee.
The Inspiration: This wonderful buttery and toffee concoction is best in England. It's yummy and sugary and makes us happy. We are particularly fond of the version at Brown's, London W1. Sticky toffee pudding is a British dessert (or pudding) consisting of a moist sponge cake made with fine chopped dates and covered in a toffee sauce. It was originally called "icky sticky toffee sponge".
The Story: The dessert's origins are considered a "mystery" according the gastronomic journal, Saveur; however the dominant story is that Francis Coulson developed and served this dessert at his Sharrow Bay Country House Hotel in the Lake District in 1960. It has been stated by Coulson's former protégé and chef, Juan Martin, that Coulson hinted that the original concept for the dessert was derived from a farm wife in Lancashire. However it was also found that the Landlady of The Gait Inn, Millington invented it in 1907 and was then sold in the pub much to everyone's delight. In any case, Coulson introduced and refined the dessert to the general public making his recipe completely accessible to all those who asked. A final story regarding the origins of the dessert involves The Udny Arms Hotel in Newburgh, Aberdeenshire. The hotel has claimed that it invented the pudding for years, and it is true that, if you ask almost anyone from the surrounding area, they will cite the hotel as the birthplace of the dish.

"LOVE them all!!"
claire bear loves this
"absolutely love this stuff, wardo convinced me to buy definitely would buy this again tastes like the man cave"
"Very strong but wasnt what i was expecting! It smells like coffee to me! I was looking for a creamy pudding sweet scent! I do love baby powder by them tho"
"Yummy sticky toffee caramel smell. Yep spot on. Smells delicious and lasts all day. Think I want this in the shower gel."
"Not an over powering scent"
A good fragrance replacement for a favorite from another brand
"The purse spray is, in my opinion, a decent substitute for the scent of a body wash from another company that made a sticky toffee pudding scent. Unfortunately this one's body wash isn't strong enough - I think I can smell the body wash base through the fragrance."
Chemical smell
"KInd of smells like that Pillsbury monkey bread that comes in a can. It smells good but it has a chemical smelling note that gives me a headache."
Whoa. Buttery and so accurate.
"This was a delight. It starts off smelling so much like straight up alcohol I thought it was a bad batch! But the moment it hits your skin it morphs into the most buttery, true to life demeter scent yet to me. Holy. Buttery sugar is the main scent pay off to me but it truly smells like Sticky Toffee tastes. It's a more subtle scent that doesn't linger as much as the others, but it's phenomenal."
True to name. warm buttery toffee
"Definitely true to name. Toasty caramely scent with buttery notes. This is so far one of my favorite dessert smells. Not maple as some others have said, imo. I sniffed it in comparison to a bottle of real maple syrup (not the flavored corn syrup sold as pancake syrup). Definitely more toffee/buttery"
