crème
Rich dairy topping
Crème is the French word for cream, used in English for rich preparations: crème brûlée, crème fraîche, crème de la crème (the best of the best).
In product names, crème suggests luxurious texture or quality: crème rinse, crème liqueur.
The spelling signals sophistication over plain "cream."
