Cafe-Cafe Puro

I love this perfume as it does remind me of Light Blue. Perfect for hot summer days. It has been my "morning scent" for the past year. Unfortunately it doesn't last more than an hour or so on my skin. Fred Hayman 273 Indigo is essentially the same scent with similar price and lasts 6 or more hours. A coworker told me the last time I wore it that it smelled like Light Blue but "better...fresher."

A lovely fresh citrus, soft yet strong and dense, fruity and sweet florals, musk and fresh woods. Very sensual. Beautiful. Very refreshing and feminine. Lasts well and gets lots of compliments. Fantastic price! And fabulous bottle!

Love this perfume! It reminds me of Moschino I love love, which is one of my favorite scents to wear since I live in the always warm climate of Miami. Very citrusy and is very CHEAP too, I got it for $14.99.

Cafe Puro for women is a steal. For both the 1.7 and 3.4 sizes, it's cheap, inoffensive, lovely, fresh, clean, and very wearable. I had to look up "Licea Kubeba" (listed in the fragrance description but it's apparently spelled Litsea Cubeba) as I've never heard of this tree/shrub. This perfume smells like both D&G Light Blue and as I recently discovered, Good Chemistry's Blue Bell. It's a citrusy, green scent that's refreshing. It also performs very well on both the skin and clothes. Personally-- I didn't pick up on the rose and jasmine immediately. I can smell the green apples, cedar, sandalwood, and musk. I'm okay with the rose and jasmine not dominating as sometimes they can pack too much of a punch and come off smelling cheap, especially the rose. The way all the notes were blended is very tasteful and nuanced, so nothing stands out too much. If you want D&G but don't care for the price, pick either Cafe Puro or Blue Bell. Cafe Puro is even cheaper than Blue Bell. Cafe Puro's longevity is weak, as is the sillage. For this reason, I would not repurchase it. I'd rather pay more for Blue Bell since it lasts much longer (pretty much the whole day) and I didn't have to reapply it. You'd need to keep reapplying Cafe Puro to make it last throughout the day. This is a safe blind-buy and lovely enough fragrance, so I don't think many will mind reapplying it. I would suggest buying the 3.4 for home and the 1.7 to carry with you since it requires reapplication. Either that or pay for an atomizer which is much smaller than the 1.7 flanker and way more convenient to carry in your purse.

I acquired this in a swap-I wouldn't normally buy this for myself-but I definitely don't regret having it! This is a very fresh citrus scent, light and refreshing, a bit sweet, but not having the fake "side-taste" I was expecting. I love to spritz it on before going to the gym. I am sure I will wear this even more frequently during summer, nothing is better than a burst of freshness when you're being roasted by the sun. Cedar, apple, musk, citrus...Please don't compare this to Light Blue anyone! That fragrance has enough attention, and this is way better-I think I like this better than I Love Love by Moschino-another fragrance often compared to Light Blue, made by the same nose (Oliver Cresp)-- Cafe-Cafe Puro Iced has more in common with those two infamous citrus-cedar fragrances.
