Plum Cream by Obvious captures the unique umami flavor of the Japanese umeboshi plum in a surprising and complex fragrance. The scent opens with a boozy and fruity blend of davana, plum, and rum, reminiscent of the rich aromas of umeshu plum wine. The distinctive salted prune accord combines sweet, salty, and savory notes, creating an intriguing fragrance experience full of depth and character.
At its base, Plum Cream develops into a warm, saffron- and leather-like suede, giving the perfume a sensual, velvety finish and long-lasting elegance. This is the first time this Japanese delicacy has been so creatively translated into a fragrance.
Prunes, or dried plums, have long been symbols of longevity and are cherished for their sweet and tangy flavor. The addition of salt enhances their natural sweetness and adds a savory dimension — exactly what makes this scent so special.
The perfect pairing
This perfume works like the perfect syrup layered with Kakigori White Crush, a fragrance inspired by the Japanese dessert kakigori. This traditional dessert of finely shaved ice is often served with sweet syrups, fresh fruit, or condensed milk. Originally an exclusive treat, the snow from Mount Fuji was carefully collected and shaved to refresh Japan’s elite. Today, kakigori is a beloved summer delicacy throughout Japan.
The fresh, icy notes of White Crush add a bright, transparent dimension to Plum Cream, softening the leathery notes into smooth suede and enhancing the fruity and soft musky accents. The result is a rich, elegant fragrance with lasting presence.
