La Tacita de Café

Today's review continues my exploration of Day Three with La Tacita de Cafe. Throughout this journey, the house has consistently impressed me by taking familiar fragrance concepts and presenting them through fresh, creative perspectives. Whether recreating the atmosphere of a desert rainstorm, modernizing a classic rose-and-oud composition, or building a gourmand around honey and plantain, Day Three has repeatedly demonstrated that originality doesn't always require reinventing perfumery, it simply requires thoughtful execution. La Tacita de Cafe, or "The little coffee cup", appears to follow that same philosophy. Rather than focusing solely on the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, the composition surrounds its coffee accord with warm spices, dark rum, caramel, brown sugar, creamy woods, and vanilla, suggesting that the fragrance is attempting to capture the broader experience of sitting inside a cozy café rather than simply smelling like a cup of espresso. On paper, it promises a rich gourmand profile that balances roasted bitterness with comforting sweetness and warmth. After several strong experiences with the house, my expectations remain high. Coffee fragrances can be surprisingly difficult to execute, often leaning either too bitter and photorealistic or too sweet and dessert-like. The question is whether La Tacita de Cafe can strike that delicate balance, delivering both the realism and comfort suggested by its name, or if one side of the composition ultimately overwhelms the other. Let's find out whether Day Three has another standout on its hands. Opening: The opening is sweet, warm, and boozy. The primary notes I get are brown sugar, rum, spices, and coffee, with the brown sugar and rum leading the composition. The brown sugar immediately takes center stage, delivering a deep, molasses-rich sweetness that feels remarkably similar to the brown sugar accord I experienced in Tres Oros. Rather than smelling like plain white sugar, it carries the darker, caramelized richness of freshly melted brown sugar, establishing the gourmand identity of the fragrance from the very first spray. Closely behind is the rum, introducing a warm boozy accord layered with hints of oak, vanilla, and molasses that immediately evokes the aroma of a well-aged dark rum. Beneath these richer notes lies a blend of warm spices that reminds me of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and black pepper, adding depth and complexity without drawing attention away from the sweeter accords. Finally, the namesake coffee emerges from the background as a dark roasted accord that calls to mind freshly ground espresso beans accompanied by subtle bitter cocoa facets. Interestingly, the coffee never attempts to dominate the composition. Instead, it serves as an anchor that grounds the surrounding sweetness. The result is an opening that, much like Tres Oros, embraces gourmand perfumery wholeheartedly, yet occupies an entirely different space through its boozy warmth and layered spice. Dry Down: The dry down is sweet, boozy, and woody. The primary notes I get are vanilla, rum, amyris, and sandalwood, with the vanilla and rum now leading the composition. The vanilla, which played only a supporting role during the opening, emerges as the fragrance's dominant force, introducing a rich, creamy vanilla bean accord that feels natural and luxurious rather than frosting-like or overly sugary. Alongside, the rum remains firmly at the heart of the fragrance, though its sharp alcoholic edge has softened considerably, becoming smoother and more integrated with the surrounding sweetness. Beneath this pairing, the amyris gradually reveals itself, contributing dry aromatic woods underscored by a subtle smokiness that immediately reminded me of the amyris used in the original formulation of A Whiff of Waffle Cone by Imaginary Authors. Lastly, the sandalwood reinforces the woody foundation, bringing its signature creamy texture and soft powdery warmth that gently rounds out the composition. The result is a dry down that remains unmistakably gourmand while gradually moving away from the literal coffee shop impression suggested by the opening, instead becoming smoother, woodier, and more atmospheric. Performance: The initial projection during the first hour is exceptionally strong, easily filling a room with very little effort. The sillage mirrors that performance, producing a dense, almost tangible scent trail that leaves little doubt about the fragrance's presence. Even after approximately four hours, La Tacita de Cafe shows virtually no signs of slowing down, maintaining the same commanding projection and impressive scent trail it displayed immediately after application. Around the seven to eight hour mark, the fragrance is still confidently projecting to roughly six feet while continuing to leave behind a clearly noticeable trail. It doesn't officially become a skin scent until well beyond the twelve-hour mark, demonstrating what is, in my experience, the strongest technical performance I've encountered from Day Three to date. Considering the gourmand nature of the fragrance, this level of longevity and projection feels especially impressive. Gourmands can sometimes become softer and more intimate as they develop, but La Tacita de Cafe remains rich, vibrant, and unmistakably present for the overwhelming majority of its wear. When to Wear: La Tacita de Cafe is unmistakably a fall and winter fragrance that feels most appropriate during the evening. Its combination of warm spices, dark rum, creamy vanilla, roasted coffee, and caramelized sweetness naturally complements cooler temperatures, where its richness can fully develop without becoming overwhelming. It shines particularly well during intimate settings such as date nights and anniversaries, where its cozy, inviting nature adds to the atmosphere, but I can just as easily picture reaching for it on a quiet evening at home with a good book or while relaxing in front of a fireplace. Despite its comforting personality, however, it carries a level of richness that keeps it from feeling appropriate in more formal environments, where its overt gourmand character could seem overly casual. Likewise, its immense projection and sweetness make it difficult to recommend for office wear, where it would likely dominate the room far more than intended. Blind Buy: Much like Tres Oros, La Tacita de Cafe comes surprisingly close to being a safe blind buy for anyone who already enjoys gourmand fragrances. The composition avoids challenging niche materials or experimental accords, instead embracing an immediately recognizable combination of vanilla, rum, coffee, spices, and caramelized sweetness that is likely to appeal to a broad audience. Even the coffee itself is handled in a restrained manner, serving more as a supporting backdrop than an aggressively bitter centerpiece, making the fragrance considerably more approachable than many coffee-focused releases. Its profile also remains comfortably unisex throughout the wear, allowing it to appeal equally regardless of preference. The only real hesitation I have stems from its sheer strength. This is an incredibly powerful fragrance, and for those who prefer softer, more intimate scents, its projection could easily become overwhelming. For lovers of rich gourmands, I think it's one of the safer offerings in Day Three's catalog, but I would still recommend sampling on skin first to make sure both the sweetness and the performance align with your personal tastes. Final Verdict: La Tacita de Cafe is yet another outstanding gourmand from Day Three and further reinforces what has become increasingly clear throughout my exploration of the house. This is a brand that simply understands gourmands. Rather than chasing excessive sweetness or creating fragrances that smell like literal desserts, Day Three consistently finds ways to balance edible accords with enough depth, texture, and structure to keep the compositions feeling sophisticated. La Tacita de Cafe is a perfect example of that philosophy. While it revolves around vanilla, rum, brown sugar, coffee, and warm spices, it never becomes cloying or gimmicky. Instead, it feels like a carefully composed gourmand that prioritizes comfort and atmosphere just as much as sweetness. One of my favorite moments comes during the dry down, when the amyris gradually begins to emerge beneath the gourmand notes. Its dry, slightly smoky woodiness gives the fragrance a beautiful structural backbone and prevents the sweetness from becoming one-dimensional. It's a subtle detail, but one that elevates the fragrance considerably and demonstrates the thoughtful blending that I've consistently encountered from this house. As expected, the technical performance is equally impressive. At this point, exceptional longevity and projection have become almost synonymous with Day Three, and La Tacita de Cafe continues that trend without hesitation. After wearing La Tacita de Cafe, Tres Oros, and Ambar Dominicano, I've come to believe that gourmand perfumery may very well be where Day Three shines brightest. Each fragrance explores a completely different corner of the genre, yet all three share the same hallmarks of excellent raw materials, seamless blending, and a clear artistic vision. Rather than feeling repetitive, they each establish their own unique identity while maintaining the consistently high standard I've come to expect from the house. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with La Tacita de Cafe. It's warm, inviting, comforting, and beautifully executed from start to finish. While it isn't a bottle I'll be rushing out to purchase immediately, it's one I can absolutely see earning a place in my collection when the time is right.

I really enjoy wearing this. Cozy, comforting and warm. I definitely see the complete expression of coffee and warm cake from a luxurious leisure perspective. Maybe like a spiced rum cake or pound cake. It opens bright and spicy with a zing or zest from citrus like sliced oranges along side your plate and maybe nutmeg to compliment the brown sugar. Then a nice bold and boozy coffee note appears and sticks around throughout the wearing leaving a more creamy slightly lactonic feel. Its in the sweet gourmand territory without being nauseating and cloying. Goes kind of ambery resinous the late stages rounded off with vanilla. Kinda like caramel dizzled ice cream. Full of body and depth with transitional periods. Again an interesting take because to me its a "warm" fragrance but it not heavy BUT it performs like the extrait it is. I think La Tacita de Cafe could easy be put in a Roja bottle or something like that and sell for 500+ that just goes to show the craftsmanship of this fragrance and Day Three in general for that matter. I could see myself adding this to a signature wardrobe in cooler months.

The opening smells like I got dunked into a warm bath of rum and just sat there soaking in it with a smile on my face. Definitely coffee, but I’m not a coffee drinker so I can’t tell you what type — all I know is this one’s much sweeter, lighter, and less bitter than other coffee scents I’ve tried. The rose in here is beautiful. I’m a big rose fan, and being able to pick it up in this blend makes me love it even more. It’s not feminine or heady — it’s silky, smooth, and feels like a few rose petals were lightly soaked in rum before being added in. Sweet, creamy, and slightly foamy with a caramel drizzle. There’s a faint spice in the background, but I really have to strain to pick it out. The brown sugar shows up later, not spicy but sweet, dense, and caramelized. Didn’t get much orange at the start, but as it dries, there’s a faint zest coming through from the shadows, adding a soft brightness to the mix. This came as a sample after I bought Tres Oros from this house, but I’m definitely grabbing a full bottle. Between the two, this is easily my favorite and my favorite coffee fragrance so far.

Not sure what took me so long to review this one because it is a true Gem. A friend shared a sample of this fragrance with me early this year. I fell in love and immediately bought the bottle and a discovery kit from the brand. For me it had a powerful transporting effect. I could imagine myself in a coffee bar in Dominican Republic or Cuba I am sitting outside by some orange trees sipping the best fresh coffee sweetened with some brown sugar or dulce de leche. And I am snacking on a piece of dark spiced rum cake. The scent is smooth, rich and complex. It is quite long-lasting (8+ hrs on me) and leaves a beautiful scent trail. Forget black opium or any other coffee fragrance. This is by far the best coffee scent out there. Get yourself the discovery kit and sample this and all their other creations. They will even include the cost of the discovery kit as a discount towards your full bottle purchase (at least they did when I purchased earlier this year so this is a win in my book). Great indie brand.

This opens with a very milky and lactonic blend with hints of zesty orange. It smells almost like a citrusy milk, as if the orange is blended with a sweet cup of creamy milk which perfectly mimics the “morir soñando” drink that it’s inspired by. The spices here are warm and smooth, but very subtle, like a background accord. The heart of this is a robust Dominican coffee roast with hints of milky rose, like a rose creamer in your cup of morning coffee, and hints of booziness like a shot of sweet rum. I’m a rose hater but here it mixes so well with the milky accords that it’s not the usual in your face floral rose. The dry down is beautifully light and airy warm vanilla with remnants of that rosy coffee and sweet lactonic accords. This is a cup of freshly roasted coffee, sweetened by milk with a splash of citrus, rosy creamer, warm rum, and dark, airy vanilla.

I seem to go nose blind to this rather quickly, possibly due to a certain a raw material used. But through the night I get whiffs here and there. The next morning the scent fills the laundry hamper, and I get it softly lingering in the room I initially applied it in. Which lets me know this was still projecting but I was nose blind! Very airy yet deep complex and sweet. A unisex rose peeks through the coffee shop pastry like gourmand notes on the dry down reminding me of Grand Master by Mind Games, to which this would be a GREAT alternative. I find the dry down of the rose in Grand Master too much so this is perfect for what I was looking for. Unisex, cozy yet slightly sexy dinner or coffee date type fragrance.

I have been looking for "my coffee scent" for a while. I thought New Haarlem from Bond 9 was it until I tried La Tacita de Cafe... What a wonderful scent! A somewhat sweet coffee fragrance that wears close to the skin. It opens with a burst of orange and coffee and gets a little sweeter and darker as it evolves. The roasted coffee is always there in the background. I get good performance from it (around 12 hours). Well done Michael!! If you haven't checked this fragrance house out yet, you really should. They are a small, family owned indy brand that has some fantastic fragrances. Not to mention that they are very friendly people and are very customer oriented.

This is ranked very high on my list from Day Three fragrance lineup. Spices, sweet, coffee... Clean amber and delicious! I've received multiple compliments when wearing this fragrance during the cooler months after 6 hours.... I was surprised that it was still behind me as I did not notice it but still received compliments. Of course I had to explain day three fragrance line and told them about the sampler and the coupon towards a full bottle which is cheap for the quality. So slept on house. Highly recommend this one, aylan, tres oros, and the discontinued gem midnight whisper if you can nab it. They are my favorites and forevers in my collection.

A journey in high-end cocktails and coffee. The opening is coffee with some spices (cinnamon-dominant) and the lightly flambeed orange rind found in $20+ cocktails. Once the orange opening burns off, a beautiful, lactonic amber note enters. The whole transitions into a coffee ground sprinkled amber with vanilla cream - where it seems to hum on my skin for a good 8 - 10 hours. I get why this won the Art and Olfaction Aftel Award upon its release in 2023. Beautifully balanced, no off or sour notes, and a fascinating story through scent. Currently my favorite coffee scent.

This perfume is lovely. I am so glad it is a very wearable gourmand. Some reviewers are complaining about longevity and I somewhat agree. I’ve found is that my skin drinks this fragrance so I tend to spray my clothing more. The price point is exceptional. The company sends nicely sized samples and honors the price of the discovery set toward a full bottle. If they found a way to work on the longevity, this would be my signature scent. I would pay more money because the scent is the most beautiful coffee/gourmand I’ve had the pleasure to experience.

Very lovely and deserves the praise and award it received. On my skin I get the vanilla cake in the opening then moves to a rich rum/brown sugar scented coffee. The coffee and sandalwood support this beautifully. The Vanilla is there throughout the life for me. Silage is where it's at on this one. As an Extrait it goes 8+ hours on me. As you move about throughout the day it is a beautiful scent trail. Highly recommend getting a sample. 9.5/10 for me.

I've been looking for the perfect coffee scent, and for me this is it! On my skin, I get strong coffee (with some sweetness), spiced rum, and a little vanilla and tonka. I don't get any orange or rose, but I'm glad I don't because I love the strong coffee dominance. Also, that strong coffee is not at all bitter or jarring but it is very smooth and just sweet and beautiful. I love this!

This is also a great great fragrance by the house. It reminds me of a mix between Black Phantom and Xerjoffs Monkey Special collab with Tommi Iomi, but done in a lighter/airy way. I see others complain about longevity but this fragrance is definitely a performer for me out of most of the collection. Definitely a full bottle worthy for me once the weather starts getting cooler.

This fragrance is so beautifully crafted and smells incredible. The longevity of this fragrance is by far the longest from all my collection. It is spicy, sweet, decadent and delicious like an amazing Dominican coffee with the backdrop the caramel fresh air. - From Im_Scented

By and far one of the best niche coffee centric fragrances I’ve gotten my nose on in a while! If you like fragrances, like Black Phantom or Intense Cafe Ristretto, you’ve definitely gotta try this! grab a sample pack from this house!

This is such a beautiful, complex and grown-up gourmand. I get the sense I'm sitting in a cafe, eating an orange and almond tea cake and sipping an espresso. Very natural ingredients. Nothing synthetic smelling here. 10/10 LOVE.

this is like having frothy cup of coffee sweetened with brown sugar in the lobby of a Dominican resort by the bar and the ceiling fan is wafting the scent of cognac bottles. such a realistic and wearable coffee scent.

It reminds me when my wife's grand mother make tradicional coffee from toasting, grind it and use local brown sugar "who knows, know!". This is a lovely gourmand fragrance

opens as orange milanos, dries down as a sweet chocolatey coffee, settling in to a generally brown amber smell

This fragrance is really nostalgic. It smells like the cafe de hoya that my grandma used to make ❤️

Testing blind the initial opening took me for a short ride, at times coming across as musky, floral, hints of sweet powder, bits of amber maybe. After this tour it warms up quickly and I feel like it settles on elements of milk chocolate, not cloying or overtly desserty, but mild and soft. A light, almost powdery milk chocolate, like a plume of hot chocolate mix hit the air in a floral shop, and you walked in after the immediate chaos. Or, if you have ever smelt those chocolate flowers, something like that. We're swirling around a few areas here, which makes it interesting. So, looking at the notes (and the name) now, much is explained, making testing blind so much more fun. Simply put I don't get coffee. I enjoy coffee, and test dark roast similar to my fragrance journey, and this doesn't smell like coffee. If anything it is more akin to the frothy head of a perfect cappuccino, albeit with its cacao powder topping, see. I do get elements of brown sugar more, spicy notes, caramel, amber, orange way at top (sure), vanilla, and amyris. The rose explains the floral and powdery elements, but I don't get that true rose per se. While the tonka bean and sandalwood may be providing some base, they settle in without much notice. I don't get the rum. Overall it is soft, with enough sweetness and hintly musky. You could argue unisex but I would have to side on leaning feminine giving its aura of light, leaning floral and powdery . Now I got a compliment on this today (coincidentally from another fraghead) who hints it also smells feminine. Projection ranged well from more than moderate, but lessens to a skin scent within a few hours. About 6 hours after application I got a hintly present soft musky vibe, anything choco (of coffee or whatever) was long gone. So, good for an evening or event, much like a good cappuccino, drink it up and enjoy it for what it is. Price point is a bit high, but would consider it as a gift just so I can smell it more, as some desserts are best enjoyed on others.

My second sampling of Day Three Fragrances is La Tacita de Café, an Art + Olfaction Award winner from 2023. It’s a spicy, sugary, hearty blend that, to me, smells mostly like a mix of coffee, caramel, rum, and a bit of tobacco, though tobacco is not part of the note lists. It’s idiosyncratic, multifaceted blend that defies a simple summary, though, with an interesting blend of spices that play against the sweeter gourmand elements. It’s sharp and heady, also, not wading into the sumptuous, overly sweet gourmand territory, but rather something more nuanced and blended, with a lot of density but some bright, uplifting citric aspects, also. It really has a lot going on and, at least for me, requires some thorough examination. La Tacita de Café is extrait concentration and is priced at $225/130/35 for 100/50/10ml, sold through the house website, and it performs well. Overall, I quite like it, but just not as much as Ambar Dominicano, though I’m looking forward to try the rest of the line as well. 7 out of 10

Coffee that has been sweetened a tad and add some booze. The scent is really enjoyable. The crazy thing is it is the first one from the discovery set that didn't make it past 6 hours on my skin. Will need yo try it a couple of more wears. I like it and think it is done really well. Worth having. Especially if you can grab it on sale or use your discovery set discount code. Just not sure if it will win that race just yet. I have 5 more to evaluate. This is in the running.

Smells like an orange flavored icing for a pastry mixed with a little bit of rum in the opening. Later on, it smells like a mildly coffee flavored ice cream drizzled with the same icing. It is certainly crafted very well. It never actually reads as too sweet or dessert-y, which is a good thing. Like it is just mild and dark enough to never become annoying. Stays polite and very pleasant. 8.4/10

I agree with others; this is a high end cocktail and I’m getting night club lounge vibes complete with an unlisted pipe tobacco note. Balanced, a smooth operator with nothing out of place.

More than just a coffee scent. Dries down to a spicy powdery rose. A strong like but maybe just a bit too much rose for my tastes.

Someone suggested I might love "La Tacita de Cafe" by Day Three because I'm looking to expand my current vanilla-centric fragrance wardrobe to vanilla gourmands with additional notes. So, La Tacita de Cafe opens with overwhelming, spritzy, aldehydic, rum-boozy notes. To my nose, the boozy, boozy, boozy rum liquor accord in the opening feels unbearable. And I detect some smoke (likely from the tonka and woods). I push through and within 15-20 very long minutes, I detect oak wood barrel notes with amber, sandalwood, amyris and tonka. I get zero rose, zero florals, minimal vanilla, no coffee, definitely zero caramel. Wears totally masculine, although I dislike categorizing fragrances as masculine, feminine, or unisex. I say "wear what you like, wear what you love." Jack Sparrow's galley/pirate ship. Or perhaps Jack Sparrow himself. Not for me...

Just got my sample pack and was really excited to try this fragrance. Sprayed it on skin and let it dry a bit. I smell the coffee and couldn’t distinguish what else I was smelling but it smelled familiar. Not until my gf smelled it on me and immediately said “it smells like soy sauce.” My body completely crumbled into the couch. I smelled it again and was blown away, it does smell like soy sauce?! But with a hint of coffee. I don’t think it’s bad at all I do like it but I think the thought of possibly smelling like soy sauce ruined it for me.

This is like a slightly bitter cup of black coffee with a bit of brown sugar. Totally unisex, high quality. Not really my thing, but a coffee lover should definitely check it out. Edit: Man the dry down was pretty nice the third time wearing this. Nose to skin it is still pretty bitter (but no one sticks their nose to your skin normally), but in the air it's smoother and slightly sweet. I definitely don't love it, but I like it now.

Overly sweetened, caramelized coffee, spices, and a very mild rum essence. In league with Intense Cafe, specifically the Ristretto version. Smells like coffee with a dank slice of wet, creamy Tres Leches 🍰 cake. It's good. Unisex with a mildly masculine lean, despite the overt sweetness.

I've never had Dominican coffe, so I can't speak to that fantasy, but this to me is all rum and amber with a rose garnish.

I really wanted to like this one as I am searching for a coffee scented fragrance to add to my collection but unfortunately, the performance is rather shockingly disappointing. In fact, it’s just poor. I’ve had this and Say Less for about a week now and as with all new fragrances I’ll apply a few sprays to my arm to see how they come off my skin. I’ve done this a few times with both and while Tacita starts beautifully - it just disappears. Within an hour I have to draw my nose slowly across my arm to experience it. Today I applied two sprays of Say Less to my left arm and I’m up to four total on my right, (two to start and two more 45 minutes later), and it’s just quickly fading away. I’ll stash the bottle away for a few weeks to see if that helps. I’ve never heard of an extrait de parfum skin scent before but I may have found one.

This smells like mens cologne and coffee. I think that the amyris note is giving that oily, pine, mens aftershave note. I don't get coffee or any of the gourmand accords--the shaving cream vibe is too overwhelming. Yikes.

Nice opening. Very soft. The drydown is a horrible screeching powdery disaster.

This fragrance is a rich coffee and gourmand fragrance. It is explained by the brand that the concept is drinking a cup of coffee sweetened with brown sugar and a piece of cake, served in the late afternoon. The texture of the fragrance is rough. The coffee note is very dominant, and the coffee bean likes dark-roasted types of coffee. These days, I smell more and more of niche and indy niche perfumes that use high doses of good quality natural materials to find a spot in this industry and business. But most of them, like this one, have the lack of skills and science of perfumery. They mix high-quality expensive materials together to create a fragrance, but this is not a perfumery. In this way, anybody can buy some expensive natural materials and mix them together in his/her kitchen to make a fragrance. 6/10

Working through the sample set and unless the samples are off for some reason, this is not my brand. Much like in Filosophia, the main note I get at first is the pierce of perfumer's alcohol, this time with a touch of rum, followed by a powdery coffee. The powder and slight rose pulls it a little feminine to me, but just a little. I notice the spices after a few minutes, but I'm not a fan. The note list made me think it was going to be an even more gourmand take on A*Men, but, sadly for me, no. Don't blind buy based on hype. But do get a sample set to decide for yourself -- if you like this house's style, you might just love this.

To me, best coffee perfume I have ever experienced...I have been searching for it and I vividly remember the day I smelled this one and was blown away...I get proper BLACK coffee and not latte or cappuccino...but it just so much more, you got booze, spices, warmth, sweetness...everything in perfect balance and blended to perfection...when I sniff it it brings me so much joy, I associate this scent with family coffee gatherings after big celebration dinners during holidays...Bravo, Michael!

Let La Tacita de cafe by daythreefragrances get you in that proper lazy Sunday mood. It’s a spicy warm and cozy coffee forward fragrance. A rich amber fragrance with brown sugar, vanilla , wild orange, rum ,tonka beans and sandalwood. After YouTuber theperfumenest kept raving about this fragrance I knew I had to get my nose on it. It was a very successful blind buy. This is a very unisex fragrance. The spice keeps it from being too (feminine) sweet. And rose and resins balance it out.

I am always trying to find the right coffee fragrance but they always fall flat for me. For some reason I find that popular coffee fragrances are either too sweet or have this weird artificial instant coffee note. Not La Tacita de Cafe! It's a strong cup of coffee with splash of cream and sugar. The floral notes make it not over the top gourmand-y. This lasts for hours on skin. One of my fav fragrance from this brand.

I got a 5 ml of this and initially hated it. the initial blast is a LOT! almost molassesy? but give it a minute and its a really nice spicy warm winter frag. I wont get a fb cuz its so strong 5 ml is plenty for me, but I will be wearing her through the winter

Very potent on me actually so strong I had to wash it off. For me the rose is amping & taking over the whole composition. Would love to see it without the rose. The rose takes this into a *very*mature territory. I was hoping for more of a coffee feel.

The best Dominican coffee is well know to have a very dark chocolate taste, a little bit of honey taste very intense and delicious. This is more focused on the taste of our DR coffee than in how it smells. Which I love. This is a beautiful fragrance.

This is such a unique gem! On me it has this almost freshness like a barbershop fresh feeling mixed in with the coffee note. It’s so beautiful and actually my only coffee forward scent I own and it’s all I need. Its a must try

I love the fragrance, but it’s way too weak and doesn’t last very long on my skin. It’s a shame because the perfume smells beautiful from start to finish. But I can hardly smell it.

Beyond disappointing. Still looking for a good coffee fragrance. This has everything but coffee. If you dislike caramel in fragrance like me go ahead an pass on this one

Dark roast, caramel, amber, vanilla, spices. Great cozy scent, that almost comes off a bit oudy by nature. Delicious on a cool evening. 8/10

For my coffee lovers this is a nice snuggled up type of fragrance under the blankets just enjoying your time with your significant other.

I am selling a full bottle. Send a message if interested. US only.
