Soft on the coffee for me, more about vanilla and pepper, not feeling the saffron. Pretty fragrance but very short sillage 🙁 Oh well it’s cheap 🙂

What a beautiful discovery! I have long searched for a coffee fragrance that was pure coffee … Often the coffee smells have too many other notes and the coffee note is barely there. This fragrance is exactly what it promises: coffee and tonka. The duration is really good even if the fragrance stays close to the skin. At the beginning the fragrance is more sharp and pungent but soon becomes a rich, enveloping and comfortable aroma of coffee with a little milky chocolaty tip. The base of the fragrance brings with it a soft scent of amber and sandalwood. I love it … perfect for work and I can not wait to try it in autumn / winter.

Probably the most wearable coffee fragrance that I’ve tried which actually has a dominant coffee note. I think it smells like a soft, creamy, caramel, lightly spicy, tonka/vanilla coffee fragrance. Not quite as literal as some other coffee perfumes such as Espresso Royale which I have and is a completely literal boozy cup of coffee – when I wear that one people are literally asking me if I have coffee with me or if I was just in a coffee shop. Ganache Parfums also has some really literal coffee perfumes in their “Joe Project”. Cafe Tonka is milder or better balanced by the other notes than all of those and the overall scent combination is more of a “perfume” than a just the “literal smell” of coffee if that makes any sense. I guess another way to say it would be that I don’t personally want to wear a coffee “soliflore” I want to wear a perfume where one of the most noticeable components is coffee. Anyway, perfect in the winter and works well for the office.
When I first heard about YSL Black Opium I was expecting it to smell more like this. I think if you liked Black Opium but were bummed that you couldn’t find the coffee note (some people say they can smell it but I can’t) you might really like this one. It’s not a dupe of Black Opium or anything like that but it’s a vanilla sweet/coffee/warm spicy which IMHO is the same general scent genre as Black Opium.
Edit: I have literally used half of this bottle in less than 5 months…cray. I love this stuff so much I bought a back-up bottle! I will say the lasting power is not the greatest at 5-6 hours but the smells is so amazing I’m happy to respray midday.

Finally, a coffee dominated smell, that doesn’t get lost in dozens of other notes, like what happens in most pop frags.
A bit sharp at first, must be the combo of coffee and tonka. Settles into a beautiful coffee fragrance, but also you don’t feel like you just spilled a cup of coffee over yourself.
Beautiful on its own or layered with others frags for a nice coffee kick.
Lasts really well and the price is very affordable. Win win!

First it is a bit sharp, but when it settles down it has warmly sweet and elegant aroma that never can get enough. I get so many compliments! I do not smell coffee much though. Anyways, I got through my 100 ml bottle too fast!

It was a true love from the first time I smelled it. First it’comes the coffee – fresh baked, intensive and rich. Then the pepper and shafron. And they linger around for quite a long time. And I can’t stop sniffing. Then it settles close to the skin but every time you turn around there is something classy, creamy, light sweet and gourmand and the ambra that follows you. Love. It stays the whole day, but since I love the sharp coffee notes I reapply in every two hours – just one spray is enough.
