A Bianco Latte sample at 10ML is a 3ml decant (about 60 sprays) of the original [Bianco Latte](https://10ml.com/perfumes/giardini-di-toscana-bianco-latte), Giardini di Toscana's 2023 Eau de Parfum, for €8.91, filled from the original bottle. A 10ml decant (about 200 sprays) is €24.12. A small size lets you wear its caramel, honey, vanilla and white musk through a full day before you buy a bottle. Below: how the notes unfold, what community votes say, a five-day wear test, and four other originals worth a 3ml next: [Xerjoff Lira](https://10ml.com/perfumes/xerjoff-lira), [Xerjoff XJ 1861 Naxos](https://10ml.com/perfumes/xerjoff-xj-1861-naxos), [Penhaligon's Changing Constance](https://10ml.com/perfumes/penhaligons-changing-constance) and [Lancôme La Nuit Trésor](https://10ml.com/perfumes/lancome-la-nuit-tresor).

## Bianco Latte notes, from caramel to white musk

Bianco Latte is a unisex Eau de Parfum launched in 2023 and credited to Silvia Martinelli. Its opening is a single note, [caramel](https://10ml.com/notes/caramel), so the sweetness is in front from the first spray rather than arriving late. That is a clear signal for anyone who already knows they enjoy gourmand perfumes.

The heart pairs coumarin with [honey](https://10ml.com/notes/honey). Coumarin brings a soft, powdery, hay-like sweetness, and honey adds a rounder, more golden layer beside the caramel. The listed accords describe the whole perfume as vanilla, sweet, caramel, honey, balsamic and powdery, with musky, aromatic and woody facets behind them.

The base is [vanilla](https://10ml.com/notes/vanilla) and white musk. Vanilla keeps the warmth going, while white musk gives the finish a cleaner, softer edge, so the dry-down does not have to stay as sugary as the opening. That movement from caramel to coumarin and honey to vanilla and musk is the part a small decant is good at showing you.

If you are still deciding which sweet style you prefer, our guide to [sweet perfumes and gourmands](https://10ml.com/guides/best-gourmand-perfumes) lays out the wider family, and the [vanilla perfume guide](https://10ml.com/guides/best-vanilla-perfumes) covers the base note on its own.

## What the community votes say

On longevity, community votes for this perfume lean long lasting, and moderate is the runner-up. On sillage, the votes also lean strong, again with moderate behind it. Those are voter opinions, so read them as a guide and never as a guarantee for your own skin.

For seasons, the votes go to spring, autumn and winter, and the time of day voters pick is daytime. A sweet perfume worn in daylight is a useful detail, since it suggests the votes do not treat it only as an evening scent.

Treat the votes as a starting point. Your skin, the weather and the number of sprays you apply all change what you notice, so use the votes to choose when to schedule your first wear and let your own notes settle the question.

## A five-day wear test with a 3ml Bianco Latte sample

Around 60 sprays means you can wear it several times instead of asking one application to settle everything. Give each wear an hour before you judge it, so the heart has arrived, and note the base later too. Paper or the first minute will miss the honey and vanilla this perfume is built around.

1. **Day one: wear Bianco Latte on its own.** Spray clean skin, then resist rubbing your wrists together. Write down the caramel opening, give your first real verdict an hour in, and record what is left in the dry-down.
2. **Day two: repeat the same routine.** Choose the same patch of skin and the same hour. Set the notes beside day one's and decide whether the coumarin and honey heart feels balanced or tips too sweet.
3. **Day three: compare it with Lira.** Put Bianco Latte on one arm and Xerjoff Lira on the other, using the same number of sprays. Look at both after they settle and again hours later, and note which composition you favour instead of judging on the openings.
4. **Day four: swap the two arms.** Put on the same pair once more, each on the opposite arm, so neither perfume gets a favoured wrist. Keep the two sets of notes apart until you choose.
5. **Day five: return to the one you preferred.** Wear it where you would normally wear perfume. Reread your notes from the week and pick the perfume you would honestly reach for again.

The comparison puts two distinct originals side by side across two days, so your own notes, and not the opening spray, pick the winner.

## What the 3ml and 10ml decants are for

Choose 3ml for discovery. Roughly 60 sprays more than cover the five-day plan, leaving spare for a repeat application. That tells you whether this progression from caramel to vanilla and white musk suits your skin and your taste.

The 10ml decant, with around 200 sprays, is for weeks of regular wear after the perfume has earned a slot in your rotation. Think of it as the second step, not a purchase to make before you know you like the perfume.

## Four originals to sample after Bianco Latte

Choose the next decant by the direction you want to explore: spice and licorice, honey and tobacco, salt and cardamom, or fruit and praline. These are four separate originals with their own published note lists, and each can be worn in 3ml for the same five-day routine.

### Lira by Xerjoff

Lira is a 2011 Eau de Parfum listed for women and credited to Chris Maurice. Blood orange, bergamot and lavender open it, which gives the sweetness a bright start. Cinnamon, licorice and jasmine form the heart, and caramel, vanille and musk sit in the base.

Its accords run from vanilla, caramel and sweet to cinnamon, powdery, warm spicy, balsamic and musky. Read from top to bottom, it moves from citrus and lavender through spice and licorice into a caramel and vanilla finish.

For Lira, longevity votes lean moderate and long lasting comes second. On sillage, a clear majority vote moderate. Voters name autumn and winter, and they split between night and day. Sample Lira if you like the caramel and vanilla of Bianco Latte but want spice and a citrus lift on top.

### XJ 1861 Naxos by Xerjoff

XJ 1861 Naxos is a 2015 perfume listed for men. Its top is lavender, bergamot and lemon. The heart gathers honey, cinnamon, cashmeran and jasmine sambac, and tobacco leaf, vanilla and tonka bean finish it.

The accords are sweet, honey, vanilla, lavender, tobacco, citrus, aromatic, floral, powdery and warm spicy. That puts honey in the middle again, as in Bianco Latte, but with lavender above it and tobacco leaf beneath.

A clear majority of voters call its longevity long lasting, and its sillage strong. Voters lean to winter and autumn, and to night and evening. Choose Naxos when honey is the part of Bianco Latte you want to explore further, in a more aromatic and tobacco-leaning setting.

### Changing Constance by Penhaligon's

Changing Constance is a 2018 perfume listed for women and credited to Juliette Karagueuzoglou. Cardamom and pimento open it. Salt and caramel form the heart, and vanilla, cashmeran and tobacco sit in the base.

Its accords include caramel, vanilla, sweet, warm spicy, powdery, salty, tobacco, aromatic, woody and musky. The salt beside the caramel is what sets it apart on paper: the sweetness is the same family, but it is framed by spice and a salty accord.

Longevity votes lean moderate, weak is second, and sillage votes lean moderate, with intimate second. Voters choose winter and evening. Sample it when you want caramel and vanilla in a closer, more spiced and salty form.

### La Nuit Trésor by Lancôme

La Nuit Trésor is a 2015 perfume listed for women and credited to Amandine Clerc-Marie and Christophe Raynaud. Pear, tangerine and bergamot open it, and passionfruit, strawberry, vanilla orchid and black rose form the heart. The base is long, with praline, caramel, litchi, vanilla, patchouli, incense, coffee, licorice, coumarin and papyrus.

Its accords are sweet, fruity, vanilla, caramel, warm spicy, balsamic, woody, tropical, patchouli and amber. It shares caramel, vanilla and coumarin with Bianco Latte, then adds fruit, rose and a darker, balsamic base.

Community votes on its longevity lean long lasting, with eternal next. Votes on its sillage lean strong, with moderate next. Voters choose winter, with night and evening for timing. Choose La Nuit Trésor when you want a sweet perfume with fruit at the top and a deeper, more layered base.

## Which decant should you choose?

Stay with the Giardini di Toscana if its combination of caramel, honey, coumarin, vanilla and white musk is what you came to explore. Choose Lira for spice and licorice, Naxos for honey with lavender and tobacco leaf, Changing Constance for caramel with salt and cardamom, or La Nuit Trésor for fruit and praline over a long base.
