Ylang-Ylang Espresso

Love it! All the other reviews on this have covered pretty much my exact experience - it's vintage-ish, it's a bit of a cacophony, it's evocative of a time and place that some of us remember and have a deep nostalgia for. This is definitely not for everyone - people of a certain age may appreciate this more than others. There is uncertainty in here - there's a little bad with the good. It is not pristine, perfect or lovely, but that's where its electricity is. When I wear this, here is where my thoughts take me - it's 1989. I'm 18 and we are driving around collecting friends, getting ready for a night out on the town. Some of us are home from college on Christmas break. The cars are used Celicas, Sciroccos and Chevettes - there is stale smoke, some spilled stuff. It is cold but we don't have coats. Some of us are under-age, some are not. We arrive at friends' houses, and we greet the parents - we are polite and on our best behavior until we get back into our caravan of cars. There are cigarettes, in the homes and in the cars. We have on our Obsession and our Magie Noir. (This fragrance does not smell like those though!) We have our hairspray and our harem pants with black turtlenecks. There is Michelob and Bud Light in bottles. The music is Erasure and R.E.M. and even Escape Club and Tone Loc, and we're piling more people in the cars than there are seat belts for. There's a physical closeness in the cars that electrifies a young person's senses. There's a guy you don't know very well, a friend of a friend or someone's roommate, and he's squeezed in next to you, the side of his body pressed against yours. You can smell his aftershave. Somebody lights a cigarette and opens a window, and the cold air comes in.

My coworkers said it smells like massage oils, but I get a hit of cigarette ash. Smells like a gourmand perfume mixed with stale cigarettes. Or, like the dirty earth mixed with something creamy. I thought this would have had patchouli and some other green florals but I can see I was off. This smells like a raunchy, dirty very adult scent to me. Not what I expected from such a floral pretty looking brand. I feel like this fragrance would be more of a dirty secret for me to revel in. I feel conflicted between wanting to smell adult and take what I want, and wanting to be a good girl! This is a rebellious fragrance for me. It's definitely not innocent. I would like to add that this one generates compliments. The 'cigarette ash' vibe I only get when I smell close to my wrist but others don't smell it. As it dries down I just get a warm, cocoa sort of floral. It's a very good smell. I'm glad I persevered with it. Edit: I don't get the cigarette ash anymore now that I have worn this a few times. What I get is a warm cocoa bitterness, and a natural floral/herby vibe. Can I just say that I have NEVER understood why fellow fragranticans have 'bedtime' fragrances. I have never had the desire to wear a fragrance to sleep as I feel it is something you wear to go out but at night you should be clean. HOWEVER, tonight after showering I had the urge to apply this. I'm not sure what it is but it has a natural, calming sort of aroma to it. I think my friends were right in their likening it to massage oil. It smells like a lovely expensive bath product. I absolutely love it. It's quite modern, errs on the unisex... this is a very good fragrance, and the price is nothing to sniff at either.

The more I wear this, the more I love it. I purchased the sampler and have favored wearing Ylang and Espresso to trying the others. On initial spray, there is a burst of bitterness that reminds me so much of the coffee my grandparents used to roast when I was a kid. It is an uncanny resemblance and I could sit in a cloud of this initial phase all day. The bitter coffee note is also an apt representation of the perfume's name - a true espresso. The bitterness fades rather quickly for me, but the scent turns more "friendly" after the top notes. It becomes more of a creamy floral with a slightly bitter undertone. It seems to continue to mellow throughout the day, until it is predominantly a creamy floral. Just a slight pepperiness remains. However, the "floral" comes off as a generic floral rather than something I could pinpoint as Ylang Ylang proper, so if you are here for the Ylang, you will likely leave disappointed. Unlike others, I have not experienced any sense of tobacco or cigarettes here. I think my nose is reading any bitterness as pure coffee and I'm fine with that. :) Like others have noted, this is unique and exotic smelling combination. I have not tried Cafe Tuberosa, the top voted similar scent to Ylang and Espresso, but am now very anxious to do so. Also, Sephora lists "tiramisu" as a note for Ylang and Espresso, which is a little ridiculous sounding, but it does make sense. This perfume is like eating a coffee-based dessert in a floral garden and that's a magical image for me. Love! And definitely need a big bottle!

This was the scent that made me want to try Floral Street. Beautiful white florals and creamy, rich tiramisu and chocolate in this gorgeous gourmand. It’s sweet, comforting, and downright edible. It’s like drinking coffee with your dessert on a romantic date with your partner. The longevity is pretty good. I recommend layering it with a vanilla lotion to have it stick all night. The projection is moderate. It’s not close to the skin but people won’t smell it across the room. Funnily enough, I got the rose stronger in the dry down than in the top notes. It opened up with the ylang ylang, spice, and jasmine, with the cream coming in a few minutes later. The tiramisu comes front and center about 20 minutes in. After the first few hours, you can smell the florals, the sweets, and the coffee in equal measure. The coffee is never overwhelming. Overall, this is a great scent for coffee lovers, gourmand fans, or anyone looking for a unique floral. Floral Street is great at creating these unusual yet beautiful true floral scents. I’m obsessed!

The masterpiece of the Floral Street lineup! This smells like a delicious melange of coffee and exquisite dark chocolate topped with whipped cream, all blended with a stunning ylang-ylang that slowly unfolds its beauty on my skin. I love how they combined the dark gourmand notes with this airy tropical flower. The opening is bittersweet and I kind of understand why it makes some people think of cigarettes, but I don't mind it as this doesn't have that gross trashy note that you get when you smell a full ashtray. The ashy-smokey note vanishes quickly and then the scent gradually becomes more floral and creamy. It keeps the coffee note but loses any hard edges. Truly like a tiramisu. This has some similarities to Rihanna Rebelle and even more to Atelier Café Tuberosa. It doesn't have the fruity rose note I get from CT though, and the ylang ylang and extra creaminess take the scent to a new level. I had CT on my wishlist and replaced it with Ylang-Ylang Espresso, as this is so much more rounded and all in all better!

I own a bottle of this and have been revisiting it in the last couple of days now that the weather is cooler where I live. I love it. For me, it’s predominantly the yellow floral of the ylang ylang and a very heavy dose, right up at the front and through out, of a dark, damp, forest floor patchouli. This kind of patchouli will clearly not be for everyone. The “yuk” review responses make perfect sense. It’s not pretty. It’s super earthy. The type of patchouli seems to me to give this an extra impression of coffee. Maybe in addition to the actual coffee note. In particular the wet coffee grounds that are left in a pot or plunger once the liquid has been poured off. The combination of that with the warm sweet yellow floral is unique. Overall I find this a warm and comforting fragrance with some heft to it. Ideal for cold days and stay at home nights. It projects for about 3 hours which is generally what I get out of all the Floral Street fragrances I’ve tried.

I hated this at first spray because it smells so mature and smokey and like burnt expresso but it develops into a really nice spicy, deep coffee scent. It’s definitely not sexy to me, it’s more elevated and calm, like a smoke remaining after a raging fire. It’s a strong floral and I don’t pick up on anything creamy or too sweet although the scent does settle down to a dark chocolate smell mixed with smoke, pepper, and coffee, then it builds to become sweeter and a bit prettier. It sounds odd but think of the bars of dark chocolate that have pepper in them. Its divine. Ngl, I think a guy could really pull this smell off too. Yeah, it’s a bit like an ashtray, I can definitely smell that. But I love the chocolate and sweetness and I love my spicy smells so I’m gonna keep using it. It’s a shame people overlook it because of the opening, it’s a beautifully crafted piece of art and an insanely rich coffee gourmand. I can’t wait to use it in the colder seasons. ❤️

@Barbarajg Whilst I don't get a waft of cigarette ash from YYE (as I explained in my review below, to me there's a very powerful coffee note on first spraying), I do understand what you mean about smelling cigarettes; sometimes coffee smells like cigarette smoke to me and, having just done a quick Google search, it appears that this is not uncommon. I am an ex-smoker (I gave up nearly 30 years ago) and - in common with many ex-smokers - I now cannot abide the smell of cigarette smoke or ash, although I do still enjoy the smell of "fresh" tobacco. Despite there sometimes being a similarity in the smell of cigarette ash and coffee to my nose, there's sufficient difference for me to love the smell of coffee (although it will make me feel more nauseous - as will cigarette smoke - if I am developing a migraine). Are there any experts who can explain the reasons for this phenomenon simply, in words we laypeople can understand?

on me, the opening smelled like super strong, smooth, chocolatey, bitter, dark espresso beans with a burst of ylang ylang that quickly faded into just the strong coffee smell. it's very invigorating and refreshing and gave me the opposite of a headache, i kept wanting to smell myself cause it felt like aromatherapy! as the scent fades I would catch whiffs of the ylang ylang here and there a bit more as the strong coffee smell died down. at the dry down was when i started getting the tiramisu and whipped cream, and it smelled sooooo good. cozy like a good quality mocha. this scent is more masculine than i would typically wear but i love it! i almost want it as a candle or room spray since it would be a bit more of an attention grabbing scent than i would like to wear out during the day, even though i wouldn't mind smelling this all the day!

This is such a weirdo scent I freaking love it. I bought it last June after a long day with pals smelling through both Bergdorf’s and then Nordstrom’s. It was closing time and I randomly grabbed the bottle. Sold. Bought the ginormous one on the spot. It fills this glorious void when you need all the drama and thingssss- patchouli! bitter chocolate! buttery ylang-ylang! espresso! Kinda like Fzotic “Ummagumma”, another kooky chocolate. This is the kind of gourmand fragrance I enjoy- NOT screamo sweet and some twists. Scents like Opium Extreme with coffee-chocolate notes and alleged tamed sugar are still revolting to me. This is not that. So the negative reviews might be by people with a predilection for sugar bombs. Great longevity, totally unique, pretty bottle- I’m stoked to own this. Highly recommend.

@vellocet, trust me, this one is wayyyy better than Intense Cafe (IC) by Montale. IC is GORGEOUS when it opens. Deep, dark coffe and rose. BUT. When it dries down, and I mean in about 20 minutes, it becomes a disgusting musky, metallic, sour rose. It's awful. This is lighter in performance in comparison to IC, but the scent profile of this is far superior. I forget the exact name, but this smells like a middle eastern coffee that's served in a tiny espresso cup as a welcome drink at some hotels. When the Ylang ylang begins to peek through, it nods at Black Orchid by Tom Ford, with none of the harshness and complexity of Black Orchid. This is very nice. I dont get Tiramisu either, but I get this creamy feeling that perhaps is the Mascarpone of Tirasmisu? All in all, this one is a true beauty!

Mmm...coffee and ylang with a dollop of cream. Inspired. Coffee and ylang very evident. It settles and both notes as strong as each other. I can only briefly pick up on a cream like note. What an intriguing combo. How to describe it is the thing. It's not foody. It's more like some alien exotic flower scent. So unique. It's not heavy or obviously floral. I think you have to try it for yourself and let us know what you think. If you want to be unique, modern and intriguing then this is the scent for you. It's definitely unisex. Moderate longevity and sillage. Update Dec 22 My diet has changed and I'm a spicy vegetarian. What a difference. I no longer detect cream. It is a really nice, unisex coffee scent with a patch/cacao base and a wee dob of cream on top. Very nice. Possibly a love now.

Ylang-ylang is a note that doesn't always work for me, so I wasn't sure about this. After trying though, this is an instant love. In fact, the ylang-ylang is pretty subdued here, on my skin anyway. For me, this is cacao and patchouli heavy with a noticeable coffee note. I find this scent to be pretty easy on the florals. It is lightly sweet, not as sweet as I would expect for something with notes of tiramisu and whipped cream, but this does sit pretty firmly in gourmand territory. Ylang-Ylang Espresso lasts pretty long and projects pretty well. It is easy to wear and a cozy-type scent, but I also think this is polished and unique enough for a night out. Black Lotus used to be my favorite Floral Street, but I think this one just stole the top spot in my book. I love this stuff.

Espresso. Skin test, winterbut sunny day. Ooh I love the coolness of this. Out the gate it’s rounded and creamy like milky coffee, not strong bitter espresso, feels like some lush white floral perhaps, and maybe a sweet but rounded and deep tonka? It’s so smooth. After a bit: slightly watery sweet through my clothes, yellow fruit, yes I understand the whipped cream, this has a density to it (not like Ariana grande in her scents) this is not tart. Much later: hmm Taylor swift dies a scent with a similar feel, this one here is not as strong and syrupy as hers, this is more wet and cool. This is still lush, with dense apricot perhaps, but in the fresh rounded side. On my skin these don’t last that long, on fabric they last all day. I love the sillage.

Reminds me of going to late night coffee bars/Italian restaurants in London, in the 90s, back in the days when smoking indoors was still a thing. I do not look back at that time with unalloyed joy (giving up smoking, though necessary, was a pain) but the fragrance overall takes me back to some extremely fun times and the fag-ash note seems to come from an over-enthusiastically roasted Italian coffee rather than actual tobacco. Love the tiramisu and cream-cacao notes, though the ylang-ylang and rose don't add much to the overall composition, being largely undetectable to my nose. It came as quite a surprise to me that the perfumer responsible was Jerome Epinette - doesn't seem to be his style, but I love it. Definitely not a safe blind buy though.

Ylang-Ylang Espresso is unique, dark and mysterious. It's also a weirdly addicting scent! The cocoa and coffee brings a dark dustiness that I love. The cream and tiramisu doesn't make this as sweet and gourmand as one would think, but there is a creamy vanilla that does round everything out (nothing sugary though). The rose note (which I normally hate, but actually love here) gives me femme fatale vibes and I find the whole concoction quite seductive! It's got a bit of bite to it and it truly makes me feel like I am wearing something unique. I can see that it's not for everyone, but if you love it.. then you've really found yourself a gem I have Café Tuberosa and I prefer Ylang-Ylang Espresso, it's more complex and less cloying.

Ok, I don't know a lot about how to properly identify notes, so I won't comment on that (to be honest, I don't even know what ylang-ylang is meant to smell like), but I love this fragrance! I definitely smell bitter coffee with a teeny bit of sweetness. I do smell tobacco too, but when I mention this to people when I'm wearing it, they don't smell it. It's definitely a super bold, strong scent. I love it for winter. It literally lasts FOREVER - sometimes I can smell it over 24 hours later even after a shower. I've had lots of compliments on it. With all of that said, I know this is definitely not for everyone. But I think it's amazing and will be wearing it all winter long :D

I'm testing from an official sample. This is really unusual; I don't think it's similar to anything else I've tried and wouldn't compare it to TF Noir de Noir. There's definitely a powerful coffee note on first spraying. I would never have thought of putting coffee and ylang ylang together in a perfume (but that's why I'm not a perfumer, right?). I did - initially - think I could smell banana, which must be coming from the ylang ylang. There is also a distinct creaminess underlying the coffee and ylang - and there's also a fairly powerful pepper punch. Definitely unisex and niche quality. I think I love this. I may need a FB. Update: I bought a full bottle. This is gorgeous.

anyone else get cigarettes from this? i initially thought maybe it had galbanum cause i usually get smoke and cigarettes from galbanum and i am really surprised that it doesn't. the opening of this is probably one of the best non-sweetened or non-latte-like coffees i have ever come across. then u r faced with this extremely earthy and damp, almost soily facet. then there's a little bit of a sweetness and just a tad bit of something like coconut. the dry down blooms into an earthy ashtray while the coffee still lingers. this is actually quite nice. u don't usually expect something so moldy and polarizing from brands like floral street. the coffee is legit here.

Omg! My new signature! I LOVE this one! It's the type of scents that my skin chemistry adores. I expected coffee to be the dominant note, and as a coffee lover I'd love that, but it's not really the case. Rather, it is a very deep, dark with prominent patchouli and sweet, smooth woody notes - a smoky dark combo scent. Not a gourmand, not at all. I totally agree with @phrogfrau ! Addicting, too! It's...gothic! A vampy and romantic one! It has a great longevity, especially when on clothes (lasts for more than 2 days). Update: The more i smell it, the more coffee and cacao I get! Tiramisu is prominent and the bitter cacao wonderful! Oh my! LOVE it! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

You know what? Hell yeah. Hell yeah I fuck with the "ashtray" smell. I bought the travel spray for $10 at Marshalls today and for whatever reason, if I spray it in the air, I get a whiff of rose, yet on my skin I just smell straight coffee and jasmine until it dries down, at which point I start smelling the sweeter tiramisu/cream/chocolate/ylang ylang notes. No idea where the tangerine is though (maybe I'm just nose blind to tangerine at this point...) Do not blind buy this. Edit: I got another travel size spray. I'm unconditionally and irrevocably in love with Ylang Ylang Espresso. She's ashy heaven in a bottle. What a wonderful little thing.

Initial blast of coffee and tiramisu with not much else for the first few seconds. It smells alcoholic, almost like whisky initially. This quickly develops into ylang ylang, light peppery rose, heavy jasmine, dusty cocoa and woods. For me this is too heavy on the ylang ylang and jasmine. It does have a vibe of espresso but I don't get the creamy note listed and ironically, when I checked the Floral Street website, the note is not listed there. This projects, but further away from the skin, the scent is weirdly more of a medicinal rose than anything else. This one is unisex for sure. I like it but it's not for me.

Simply delicious 😋 Tirimissu and strong, sweet, creamy coffee. The ylang, rose and Jasmine come forward after about an hour. I like to layer this with Urban Apothecary (another sustainable cruelty free company in the UK) Oriental Noir body products, to amp up the coffee and patchouli notes & add a touch more spice. I get a solid 5 hours from 2-3 spays, then I can spritz myself to enjoy those delicious top notes all over again 🙂 I have yet to find a fragrance from this house that I don't like. Not that they are ground breaking scents, they are all just very likable.This and Iris Goddess are my favourites so far.

Rich, magnetic, and smoky, polarising to some extent, it slightly reminds me of Tom Ford's Cafe Rose on steroids, but without the dominant rose. Combination of the notes creates some strong tobacco accord, almost like you are sitting in the cafe, but people smoke inside. Ylang-ylang is also strong. If there is tiramisu, it is completely sugar free, this fragrance is slightly creamy, but not sweet. It is almost soily. I loved it from the first sniff. There is coffee for sure, but it is bitter and maybe raw, not your Starbucks sirupy sweet coffee like in Black Opium Le Parfum for example.

To me this smells like a cozy café, and I as coffee lover absolutely adore this! This is my signature scent, works for day and night. I don't really understand the negative/mixed reviews, but everyone's nose is different! Doesn't smell too unisex to me (I prefer usually extremely sweet and feminine scents). Even though I voted scent to be "more female", I would still recommend this for men and masculine presenting folks! My nose picks up mainly Sichuan pepper, espresso and cacao. Sichuan pepper adds very unique twist. Overall incredible perfume, especially its performance is amazing!

I feel like people will either love or hate this smell. I tend to enjoy heavier, darker smells; I used up the sample size immediately and bought the full bottle. To me, this smells like an eccentric, rich lady sitting at a local Italian restaurant, surrounded by people smoking and drinking, and eating her tiramisu. It's warm, not overly sweet, smoky and intoxicating. Certainly an evening scent. The smoky aspect might not be for everyone; it is more cigarette/tobacco sensation. I'm personally picky with incense, oud scents, but this smoke was pleasant for me.

VERY difficult to put into words, a very complex scent which opens with a blend of nutty espresso and white floral notes, which very quickly (and i'm talking within about 20-30 seconds) pivots into an earthy, damp, bittersweet, almost acacious fragrance (reminiscent of damp turkish rolling tobacco, namely auld kendal comes to mind), which gradually evolves into a cleaner, more floral scent, and dries down slightly leathery and peppery. leans slightly feminine and DEFINITELY NOT a safe blind buy. Love it - the perfect scent for a damp autumn or spring day.

I agree that this perfume smells like when I've been in a room full of smokers, but that is the smell of coffee beans roasted. It's quite intriguing. The funny thing is when people stands within 1 meter or less from me, they can smell the floral without the coffee, it seems the coffee note only can be smelled up close, so it's a genius. Longevity and silage is above average. But do not blind buy this, it's a quite strange combination, the ylang ylang is beautiful considering you can stand the reek of ash on your body.

Update: still ADORE this fragrance. Also- I love and miss cigarette smell. So all the dirty ashtray comments make me like this even more. AND! It’s fabulous during daytime & hot weather. Contrary to most saying it’s a nighttime fall/winter scent. Recently I was walking in Prospect Park with my husband and this very cool looking dude followed us to find out what “amazing” scent I was wearing. My husband laughed and said to him “oh boy you just made her day!”. I giddily told him Floral Street “Ylang Ylang Espresso!!!!”.

I have the Floral Street discovery set and this is the only 50 ml bottle I bought from it (there is a few 10 ml travel bottles for other perfume from it too) - so this is my winner^^. It is a very beautiful, strong and long lasting (like 8 hours) perfume. IMO - as I love coffee scents and I love the gourmand perfume - one of the best coffee perfumes, but for anyone who is sensitive to strong scents this is probably not the case. As the discovery set is not as expensive it could be a good investment to buy it first.

This perfume is actually really nice. It doesn’t smell of ash tray. I think there is a note responsible. Somebody said it may be rose. I’m not sure as I can’t smell the ash tray aspect. This is a ylang ylang patchouli scent with a little coffee thrown in. Ylang ylang can often be too much. When you pair it with patchouli, coffee, and cream, I can see why people have an aversion to it. It’s almost like the perfumer was trying to create something bold. I didn’t buy it to be popular, I bought it because it’s cool.

Such a lovely unique scent. The coffee is definitely prominent, but the overall vibe is much more “creamy coffee dessert” rather than “bitter smoky espresso”. No doubt this is because of the tiramisu and whipped cream notes. The ylang ylang and jasmine also give it a nice creamy floral quality; it’s not overly floral but I think they help prevent it going into full blown gourmand territory. The wood and patchouli round it out. Performance of this is brilliant, might be best of all the Floral Street perfumes.

Oh, I absolutely get cigarettes from it and I love it (not a smoker). It reminds me of cafes and small bars in Croatia where almost everyone smoked. As an American, at first I was shocked by the smoke floating indoors mixing with your food and drinks, but then I learned to just ignore it. This fragrance is just that - coffee, cake and cigarettes. I also get ylang ylang and patchouli essential oils. Overall, I think it's beautiful and unique, but I absolutely get why people can hate it.

Godamn delicious. I’m not much of a gourmand girlie but this smells like tiramisu as a sophisticated perfume but without the sugar. Almost savoury in its coffee and chocolate aromas and seriously mouthwatering. Divine cold winter day scent for me this year and I was getting people asking me what perfume I was wearing. Lasts all day and fills the room with rich espresso, dark chocolate and warm florals. This is the only floral street scent worth spending the money on for me.

I understand the hate for this, but as a ylang lover, this blows my mind. Incredibly unique. I see a lot of comments saying it smells vintage or like an ashtray and as someone who enthusiastically wears Cabochard I don't perceive that negatively. You won't find coffee notes in Golden Age perfumes as far as I'm aware, but I think here, it's giving an Oakmoss sort of vibe that smells very earthy. I think this smells modern while side stepping cliched trends.

From Floral Street: Tangerine, Sichuan Pepper, Fresh Rose, Jasmine, Tiramisu Accord, Patchouli, Ylang Ylang, Espresso Beans, Cocoa Beans, Guaicwood. I love coffee fragrances and I am always on the hunt for them. I happened across this one and was quite surprised. It's sweet but not cloying, a little smoky, with floral espresso. Like eating tiramisu and sipping coffee while surrounded by flowers and smoking a cigarette. I quite like it.

Vampy strong fragrance with depth and beauty. Love the layers of notes. Dark rose, expresso coffee, patchouli with a touch of jasmine come together to entrance and bewitch. Not a safe blind buy. It is intense and smokey and grown up. Waiting to see if it has any longevity to it which some have said it is hit or miss. Maybe spray on your hair or behind your ears for extra seductive pull. Love it! 9/10

I absolutely adore this perfume, it’s the perfect clubbing fragrance. I smell the coffee and whipped cream far more than any floral notes throughout wear, and I do get where some reviewers come from in terms of there being a somewhat ashy/smokey note, however I really think it works as a night time perfume. I would absolutely not wear this during the day in an enclosed space though.

I had mixed feelings about this perfume, it was a love/hate relationship for a while. Once my sample was gone however, I found myself missing it and ordered another sample. It does have a bit of a "dirty" feel to it (I believe from the patchouli,) but I find it to be such an interesting mix with all of the other notes and keeps me coming back for another sniff.

At the beginning, I didn't like it at all. It was too bitter, it was very dark and I couldn't breathe after smelling this. But for some reason I gave it a try again, and I think that I learned to adore this fragrance, just like you learn to love to drink espresso, it's not tasty, but you learn to love it

Soft, sweet, gourmand coffee, and when I say gourmand I really mean it! I work in a cafe three days a week, and I'm constantly surrounded by the aroma of coffee. I know it like the back of my hand, and this smells like a tall milky mocha with a hazelnut shot. It's delicious

As the others have said, this is not for amateurs. This is complex, astute, opulent, assertive. Almost brooding, but in a alluring way. It is for night time, darkly lit places, smoky air, seductive music, secrets telling. I would wear this when I want to get into trouble.

In the opening it smells very very similar to cafe tuberosa. The drydown is much sweeter and gourmand, but not sickly. A scent that may be too smoky and bitter for pure gourmand lovers, but an interesting sweeter fragrance for those who may be hesitant to try gourmands.

An evocation of having a strong, smoky, spicy cup of coffee and a serving of creamy tiramisu at an intimate café. I enjoy this on cold or rainy days and definitely want to smell this on my guy. My kind of coffee fragrance!

Starts out very strongly with the patchouli and ylang-ylang, then dries out to a delicious sweet and smoky situation. It’s warm and familiar and I love it! I kept smelling my arm throughout the day I couldn’t get enough.

Incomparable yet similar to other things. I find this fascinating, lovely. An inspired mix that might be considered unmixable. Very, very fun. Definitely more emphasis on pepper and coffee beans.

I imagine Velvet Haze but without the dirty patchouli note but added whipped cream and dusty chocolate powder. Incredibly rich and a Terribly gorgeous scent. The dry down is where it’s at!

This is such a love from first whiff. I don't really care for mass appealing scents. This is not a safe blind buy. Definitely getting a full bottle after finding the sample intoxicating.

Very rich and decadent, the cacao note and almost like a truffle note stand out for me. It’s reminds me of a budget TF Noir de Noir on my skin. Reasonably priced too

I love it! Many people hate it, but to me it's special. If someone within Germany or EU has any full bottle, please contact me 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
