Changing Constance by Penhaligon's is a salted caramel gourmand with a spiced, smoky edge. Cardamom and pimento open it warm and a little sharp, before salt and caramel bring in a buttery sweetness. Vanilla, cashmeran and tobacco settle underneath, soft and faintly smoky rather than heavy. Released in 2018, it draws women who like their gourmand scents with some bite instead of plain sugar. Voters keep it for winter evenings, and it works well enough for the office during the colder months. The longevity vote leans toward moderate, and the sillage vote leans that way too, so it stays fairly close. A 3ml decant carries you through a week of winter evenings before you decide whether to buy more.

The community verdict
Cardamom and pimento lead Changing Constance into salted caramel, vanilla and tobacco. The largest group reports moderate wear, though some find it fades fairly soon; projection divides between moderate and close to the skin. It feels warm and grown-up for winter evenings, with autumn and night working too.
