Vanille Café

Wow! Wow! Wow! I love!!! This scent is so yummy!! There is def a cafe vibe to it, as it smells warm, sweet like burnt sugar and like a biscuit. I think it might be the almond that makes is smell like a biscuit. A beautiful cedar woody note that isn't too dry (some wood notes make my throat dry or are just too strong). I can totally picture being in a cutesy local cafe with wooden walls and a fireplace. This scent would be better for the colder months. A really cozy nighttime scent, it could be worn during the day as long as you didn't spray too much. It's a unisex scent leaning a tiny more more masculine due to the wood note. The sweet biscuit smell fades a bit after the dry down. The silage is arms length/close to skin. The vanilla Comptoir uses always reminds me of Jingle G xmas perfume by Gwen Stefani. The coffee note isn't like YSL Black Opium, it's more like smell fresh brewed coffee. It lasted longer than I expected, I could smell it on my wrist about 10 hours later. This company usually makes nice nature inspired smelling perfume, so far I find that they lean a bit more on the sweet side than the fresh/bright side, but I've only tried 3 other perfumes for this company so far...more to come!

I love Vanille Cafe! No, it's not the most highfalutin, avante-garde wunderkind of the coffee scents, but dammit, it's a super fun, sugary caffeinated ride that I'm fully enjoying! I hear many people complain about some of the Comptoir Sud Pacifique's scents having an artificiality about them, which I understand, BUT, I still think their scents are really well done, FUN (which is sorely needed these days), super crowd pleasing, and the price points are unbeatable in this day and age. That said, I genuinely enjoy this one and was excited to learn it was created by Vanina Muracciole -- she's created so many I love, it's no wonder this enchanted me so. Vanille Cafe is for coffee lovers who like their milk and sugar with a splash of coffee. And this, like so many others in my collection, layers exquisitely with KYSE's Delizia di Marshmallow! I layered these two yesterday and my partner asked if I was making hot chocolate ;-) I said "No -- it's me you're smelling!" He replied: "That doesn't smell too bad!" Coming from him? That was actually a huge compliment! 😂😂

When I first received this fragrance, it made me so furious because it was so delicious but literally poofed into oblivion before I could even get the cap back on. No longevity. The worst longevity of any fragrance I've ever owned. So I did the thing, I put it up and had zero expectations for it. I went on a declutter tangent and sprayed it one last time before listing it or giving it away, and she bloomed. She blossomed. She is now what I wanted Intense Cafe to be, and she lasts. I never really thought of applying the "let it sit" rule to anything other than ME scents, but, it fixed this one as well. So glad I didn't get rid of it, it's now one of my favorites and great for layering when you want to amplify or add a coffee note. Sweet, yummy vanilla frapp with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles. Then, of course the hints of cedar and musk keep it grounded. I feel like it's still light enough that it can be worn year-round, it's sweet but not sickly so. Coffee note stays with you for the life of the application.

I used to wear Comptoire Sud Pacifique Vanille Coco many years ago. I have been trying to find a new summer fragrance, so I decided to order from them. I ordered a full bottle of the Vanille Coco, but they also have two "sample" sets with most of their fragrances included in one or the other. Vanille Cafe was one of the samples, and I just fell in love. In the sample, I couldn't really detect the coffee, but in the large bottle (I went back online and bought a large bottle) you can really smell the coffee when you first spray it. I don't like most "coffee" scents, but this is perfect. I smell the vanilla, the coffee, and the cedar right away, and as it dries down, I smell the vanilla, cedar and the musk. I love this fragrance. It is warm, and cozy, and on me it smells almost like kindling that has been sprayed with vanilla... in the best way possible. I love it. I was going to save it for fall, but I couldn't resist wearing it today, in the heat of summer. I love it.

This is the coffee scent I've been after. Pure coffee? Pure Tonka? New Haarlem? Cafe rose? Literally all the other coffee scented frags I've tried? Nah. Don't like them. They're either not coffee enough, or have a weird floral note that I don't think goes well with coffee. Enter the new player. This is not your traditional "coffee" scent like that pure roasted, nutty, acidic, bean. Nope. This is that vanilla latte you order that smells mostly like a cake with some coffee in the background. It's sweet, it's dense, but the coffee isn't completely lost. I wish this scent had the slightest bit more coffee in it- but this is so close to perfect for my personal tastes, I don't see it getting better than this for me. Performance is great on my skin, last the day with heavy projection as well. If you're looking for a coffee scent that is sweet, rather than floral, look no further.

I blind bought this perfume during Black Friday at great discount. It smells similar to other CSP fragrances with a sweet yummy scent, nothing groundbreaking but enjoyable. This perfume lasts about 6-8 hours on me in 65 degree winter cold weather. It leaves a soft scent trail the first hour but is mainly a skin scent. Anyone standing close to you smells it. As long as you don’t overspray it this perfume shouldn’t be cloying. My only issue is I can’t smell the coffee note in it which is why I bought it. Still searching for my holy grail coffee scent. This fragrance reminds me of CSP Vanille Coco because it has vanilla and a chocolate note. Still glad I bought it and will wear it. Not sure I would repurchase it since I own many CSP perfumes with similar scent.

This is a very pleasant gourmand scent! The opening is very beautiful it reminds me of the tiramisu dessert. The vanilla, cacao, coffee are prominent with a boozy feeling from the benzoin. The almond gives a tonka like effect. The drydown goes to a more cotton candy with vanilla direction. The performance is very good, the longevity is over 10-12 hours and the projection is really good for 2-3 hours. To me is a fall/winter scent, quite versatile and unisex. Overall, this is to me a great coffee gourmand scent! I found a tester bottle for an amazing price and I am very pleased with my choice. If you like sweet, coffee, gourmand scents give this a try!

Extremely woody, rich vanilla that outperforms its price point. The coffee is subtle but it makes the vanilla so special. If you’ve tried any of the other CSP “Vanille” line, like Vanille Abricot or Vanille Coco, they all have this same sugary, slightly caramalized vanilla base, with a featured top note that tends to fade quickly. Vanille Cafe is no different, but the coffee makes it so woody and rich, just like a really rich, expensive vanilla, and the woodiness lingers. It’s a great fall/winter counterpart to Vanilla Coco, one of my summer standards.

This is interesting. Opens with a blast of coffee beans, then as it dries down it kind of smells like sambuca or anise flavored liquor. The final dry down is cocoa powder with a little vanilla and cedar. It’s the least sweet, sugary, and vanilla heavy of the CSP scents that I’ve tried. Overall I think it smells less like a latte and more like kahlua. Projection is light to medium, longevity is ok, about 5hrs. I could see myself wearing this for a night out, definitely would’ve loved it back in my clubbing days.

Testing this as a decant splash. Creamy vanilla cappuccino in a bottle. I literally said “mmm!” as soon as I caught it on my wrist. It’s delicious and cozy in the best way. The opening has a smooth, true coffee bean note that immediately sets the tone. As it settles, it becomes soft, slightly powdery, and wonderfully velvety. The vanilla here feels creamy and natural, without going too sweet. It’s the kind of scent that feels complex in a subtle, effortless way — comforting, versatile, and wearable all year.

Well the name sure is correct on this one. Opens with a spicy vanilla latte smell and stays pretty linear through the life of the frag. It does get a little more sweet vanilla heavy at dry down. It’s cotton candy sweet. If you like vanilla and latte smells this is the one for you. It’s creamy for sure, not a bitter coffee at all. Wonderful scent if you like those smells. I personally like vanilla scents in fall and winter so that’s my recommendation. Sillage is good as is longevity for me. This is a 7/10

This is my go to sweet latte coffee fragrance. It's sweet but not overly sweet and it's blended very nicely. If you are looking for a darker blacker coffee fragrance then I recommend follow by kerosene. Vanille cafe gives decent longevity and projection and is well worth the money. The benzoin note really completes this scent for me. It rounds out the sweetness with some darker resinous vibes. 9/10 fragrance

O M G LOVE THIS!! YUMMY! I will be back to fill in this review more but....this is a delicious cafe. Close but slightly different to the original Mokha fragrance. This scent lacks a chocolate note, which would have made this PERFECT. Beautifully done cafe scent. Lots of vanilla, coffee and a prominent cedar note. Definitely a unisex gourmand coffee scent. I highly recommend for a sweet coffee fragrance.

At first the coffee note is too bitter to my liking, 100% espresso with no sugar. But after a few minutes it turns into a sweet coffee with milk and vanilla sugar. The coffee note starts to fade and it becomes quite faint, but you can still smell it. After giving this a proper try I have to say it's beautiful and I really love this one, a gourmand dream! Reminds me of a Parisian café.

This is a heavenly masterpiece. A cozy warm sweet cappuccino with great lasting power and an addictive aroma that draws you in closer for more 😍

Nice sweet latte fragrance, works great layered with Eclats d'Amandes.

The scent is amazing! Its sweet vanilla, lactonic scent with hint of coffee. The coffee note is really not strong and dissapears quite fast. I feel like dry down is similiar to Vanille Apricot. There is big BUT for me, the sillage is almost non existing and I am big NO NO person when it comes to strong sillage perfumes like coco mademoiselle and etc. I prefer gourmad which will not choke you but Vanille Cafe is barely detectible. I had to spray 6 times to feel it. It will also not last long. I bougt in parallel body mist from one small nich company for 16$ (its without alcohol) and it last much longer and had better sillage (it took just 2 sprays and colleagues in my office was sniffing around me and asked what smells so nice). Will I purchase it again? Really not sure, I might try another vanille cafe perfumes as those are my favorite notes and see.

Never smelled Vanille mokha so cant compare it to that. I dont see any resemblance to by the fireplace myself though. For what its worth I would compare this to something chocolate coffee marshmallow with a bit of extra chewyness and slight smokey factor from the woods. Maybe you take a marshmallow, you have your coffee chocolate drink and you dunk the marshmallow in it, and then you pull out the marshmallow. And its coated with some chocolate and a bit of coffee. The marshmallow feels a little more chewy than normal because of the woody after taste you smell. Maybe from the almond as well... Not a ton of coffee but more so noticeable than some other more popular coffee scents imo. Performance was ok. Id probably pick up a decant if the price was right.

This smells like a childhood trip to a carnival. Cotton candy squished between fingers into a hard paste that drips syrupy sugar and artificial flavouring. You've already eaten enough cotton candy when it still tasted good but you keep going... Essentially a sickly sweet artificial vanilla with a bit of "coffee" def not realistic but idk I kinda like it. I bought It blind because it's pretty cost effective but I won't buy it again as it's too fake smelling and occasionally gives me a headache. But I have gotten a fair few compliments so maybe this is just my nose! Silage-8/10 Longevity-6/10 Scent-4/10 Overall-5/10

This is a hard "like" for me. Would have been a love if it stayed smelling like sweet, caramel vanilla pudding/crème brûlée like it does when first sprayed. After a minute it dries down to a synthetic sweet hot drink smell--somewhere between powdered cappuccino mix and Irish coffee--sadly not the realistic vanilla latte I was hoping for. At this stage, it reminds me of Good Girl (which I don't particularly care for) but is fortunately less sharp and alcoholic. The final dry down is quite nice, a sweet woody skin scent. Longevity is so-so, better than Vanille Abricot from the same brand.
