Dark coffee & rose

It's really interesting how fragrance is so subjective. For me the coffee is absolutely the most prominent note throughout the wear but a friend of mine said it smelled like roses and didn't get the coffee at all. The opening is very bitter, but it rounds out quickly and dries down to a sweet black coffee with vanilla syrup, rose and hazelnut. This is similar to Intense cafe, but much better and more natural smelling.

I got this one on a wonderful vacation in Italy, which may affect my judgement. Otherwise this might have been just a like, simply because these types of perfumes are not the easiest to wear in my daily life. This may come off as a bit too strong for people who are not into perfume, so I find I have to be strategic about when to wear this.

Hazelnut & Coffee

This fragrance is a gourmand, sweet but not cloyingly so. I get a lot of hazelnut cream and a little coffee, on a base of vanilla and musk. The bergamot and pink pepper are present in small amounts, adding just a bit of zing (much like adding some orange peel to a dessert). Longevity is several hours for me. I like the drydown a lot too, it retains some complexity rather than being a flat sweet scent.

I don't typically like most gourmand fragrances, but I find this one very cozy and comforting to wear, especially in cold weather. I don't find it too overwhelming for warm weather wear, except for maybe the very hottest days.

I think the bottle is fine, nothing special, but it is heavy glass with Carthusia in raised letters in the glass and the sprayer isn't flimsy like some I've used. I wouldn't characterize it as cheap so much as boring.

Overall, this is one of my favorite fall and winter scents to wear.
