@McDuckie, you’ll have to post back with your thoughts on it.

Caramel (SC) (Nomz) 1.5%/2.5% (11-8-25) – This one smelled next level in the bottle, but something went a little sideways when testing it. You’ll notice I started this one out at my typical 1.5%, and then brought it up to 2.5% just to make sure it wasn’t underpowered. It was caramel-y, but something just seemed to be holding it back from becoming a full on Caramel. Even at the higher rate it never fully bloomed, and tasted somewhat muted. There was a persistent, albeit fairly weak undertone on the finish which kept reminding me of a cinnamon. I’m sure this wasn’t intentional, but that was the note I picked up. It was only present on the finish.
At 2.5% it was still not what I would call strong, and maybe a 6/10 on the strength scale. As far as “getting it done” as a stand along Caramel I’d say (like the strength rating) it got about 6/10 of the way there. The finishing mystery note kind of pulled it off target. Not terrible, but not the main driver for a Caramel. All in it was a caramel-y flavor, somewhat weaker, with a light, almost cinnamon-ish, slight bakery note on the finish. Leaving this one somewhat lower, and at a 6.5/10.

Coconut (Milky Note) (SC) (Nomz) 1.5% (11-8-25) – I will admit that when I saw, “Milky Note” I was curious. Hell, I was curious to see if Nomz could pull off a great coconut, and they DID. First (and final) thoughts on this one, were it was EXACTLY like the center of a Mounds candy bar, BUT, layered in a delicious creamery. Yes, an almost perfect representation of a sweetened, shredded coconut, and yes, riding on a creamy, milky carrier. No off aftertaste, no astringent or dry finish, and NO suntan lotion !!!
At 1.5% it was almost perfect saturation wise, and I’d rate it at a 9.4/10 on the strength scale. No off-notes or complaints, with NONE of the aforementioned typical coconut “shortcomings”. Even WITH the delicious creamery/dairy carrier that the fresh coconut shreds were riding on, I could still almost taste the shreds. VERY impressive. Most impressive beyond the actual realistic taste, was how the creamery/dairy was below the coconut JUST enough, to accent it, but not to pair with it, or overshadow it. The first two notes I wrote were, “Mounds”, and “Dragons Blood”. Many more uses for this one, but you get the idea. If you love a fresh, natural coconut, sweetened and shredded, on top of a delicious creamery/dairy carrier, you’ll LOVE this one. Almost as perfect as my current go to, Delosi. Leaving it almost perfectly at a 9.85/10.

My first thought was
It really threw me off when I got shredded coconut in something I thought would be a coconut milk. I’m not completely sold on the Coconut (Milky Cream) as a stand alone but yes in a mounds bar or my thought a coconut cream pie.

Trying to find the words to best describe the Tiramisu. Right now I’m thinking it’s a pièce de résistance.

Yeah, that sounds about right. I mean, you could try and bolster the lady fingers and booze just a hair, but do you need to ??

Cola (SC) (Nomz) 1.5% (11-9-25) – The moment I started testing this one, there was no doubt it WAS a Cola. Fairly neutral as colas went, and I couldn’t directly compare it to a Coke, Pepsi, or an RC Cola, but if I had to pick one, I would choose RC as the closest match. At 1.5% it was fairly strong, and at about a 6/10 on the strength scale. There was just a little bit of fizz right on the finsh which was a nice touch. This one had a HARD road to climb to get up to my all time favorite Sobucky Cola, who’s taste AND fizz were unequaled. At 1.5% it was very good, but felt like it could just use a little more.
No off-notes or complaints with the exception of a minor dry-ness on the finish. Taste wise, it was a good generic cola, with a hint of fizz on the finish. Tasty, but not a superstar. It felt fairly placed at a 8/10, as it was better than many of the other colas out there.

I’m actually gonna steep several 10ml at higher % to see where the breaking point is at. @2% the espresso is quite forward, and the ladyfinger could use a slight push. Maybe FA vanilla cookie @1%. The booze is good at 2% it tastes like a wine/brandy which is fairly accurate for a tiramisu. Mainly I want a little more mascarpone cheese which is easily remedied.

Crepe (SC) (Nomz) 1.5% (11-10-25) – As with everything pancake, (and crepes), I went into this one with sky high hopes. Some of them were dashed, and others not. Crepes should be a lighter version of a pancake, sometimes slightly egg-ier, denser, less cake-y, and fairly neutral overall. I spent some extra time with this one, JUST to be sure. It had some lighter pancake-y, kinda crepe-y notes, BUT, and this is/was the big one, I also had a healthy dose of AP during the entire middle and finish. I actually struggled to 100% verify it was AP, but if it wasn’t, it would sure make you THINK it was. AP ?? Yes, Actetyl Pyrazine. From Bull City Flavors, for the uninitiated …
Roasted, nutty, bready and yeasty, with popcorn and corn chip nuances …
I’m going to classify that note as fairy obtrusive, and not constructive towards the total flavor profile. Basically, once I tasted it, I couldn’t NOT taste it. IMO, it was a shame, because BENEATH it, there was a pretty good, light, sweet, almost pancake batter-ish crepe wanting to come out, but it was overshadowed by “the note”.
At 1.5% it was strong overall, and I’d rate it at an 8.5/10 on the strength scale, with sweetness a tick or two above mid-level. Whenever I have a flavor that goes “side-ways”, or has some peculiar notes, I spend some extra time, just to make sure it WAS, what it was. Not terrible here, but the AP, or AP-ish note will make it more of a challenge to work with. Dropping this one down a bit to a 5/10.

I was looking forward to your review of this one…
Dang…
Maybe the name is misleading and it’s a supposed to be Crepe Myrtle

Well @Rocky02852 you know the drill. Just because I might taste something a certain way, I still encourage everyone to try it out, and see what THEY think.

Aw hell. I need to dig this one out and try it again. I sft’d it when I got it and wasn’t terribly impressed. Although I interpreted it as more of a dry papery note. Like, actual paper. Wood pulp paper. Not so off putting to bin it outright, but strange enough to not have a real use for it.
Honestly, if I get my brain to think AP it might be more useful.

Fig (SC) (Nomz) 1.5% (11-12-25) – I spent a little extra time with this one as well, trying to really decode what was going on with it. TBH I not only have a fig tree in our yard, but have been completely spoiled by The One that broke the mold. ALL fig flavors are chasing Medicine Flower Fig for the top spot IMO. NOW, comparing actual extracts to manufactured flavors is probably unfair, so I’ll try and keep this as fair as I can. This one presented as Fig-ish, BUT, not entirely a pure Fig. I def. got some Fig from it, but it was almost more of a puree than a straight Fig. This one was actually fairly hard to crack, but I finally settled on a combo of a fairly natural red fig, paired with light Pear, and lighter apple notes. Hehe, YES, that is what I finally settled on. It was good, and leaned heavily towards a red fig, which is freshly picked and just almost ripe, as compared to a darker, more brown very ripened Fig. Still good, and with some nice pizazz and punch to it. I did continue to get an almost pear-like undertone in there, and hints of green apple.
At 1.5% it was fairly present, and I would rate it at a 6.9/10 on the strength scale. I bumped it up to 2.0% with no real change in saturation. Sweetness was just at mid-level, and it did have a very natural, and fresh overall taste. I tried to come up with a different assessment, but kept coming back to the same profiles/notes listed above. It tasted fairly complex, and was a good flavor, but just not a complete fig. No off-notes, and my only want would be simply, some more fig LOL. Good flavor, interesting, and complex, with plenty of fresh nuances, and leaving it fairly high at a 7.9/10.

I placed my order for 8 bottles of Nomz SC products by email as normal with Rhiannon about 10 days ago. She put it together, sent me the invoice, I paid it & it arrived today. No problems.
