Carpe Cafe

Gallagher Fragrances - CARPÉ CAFÉ Vacation w/ french Press columbian coffee ☕♨️ I really love the smell of coffee yet only a few coffee-based fragrances captivate my heart like this one. Carpe Café is a very pungent and rich smelling coffee dominant fumes with magical power to transport the wearer to a chill vacation setting. A very powerful and spesific olfactory journey that always put my mind at ease and relaxing state. Which why I prefer to wear it on weekend occasion. The list of notes displayed the bottle are overly understated and too simple compared to what it delivers imo. Coffee aficionados who smell will definitely appreciate the richness from the multiple layers it brings to the palate. It's like enjoying the finest Columbian coffee beans using French Press to extract pure, strong and fullest aroma with utmost smoothness. The comforting vanilla blend with a hint of its natural sweetness create a contrasting balance countering the strong and pungent coffee notes. Imagine sitting at a small coffee shop in a town with almost no car where the air is free from pollution. There is this vivid woody and piney smells of trees whispering gently in the wind while sipping the hot served coffee. On the initial spray there is a strong spicy kick that makes it masculine leaning in my opinion. But if one can enjoy such a similar profile in their drinks I guess it's for everyone who love spicy gourmand drinks. A perfect one to wear in cold weather for its heart-warming effect. I find Carpe Café as one of the best work in perfumery highlighting coffee up-front and centered without being plain or too one dimensional. For a comparison it has a similar profile with Rubini Tambour Sacre which is highly complex too but perhaps can be overly challenging to worn in many situations. Carpe Café however bridged the two end perfectly in the middle. If you want to soften the masculine side just add your favorite floral fragrance and hopefully you find it as lovely as or even better than the infamous Montale Intense Cafe. Have a lovely Sunday holiday and as always big thank you for taking time reading 🫶🙏. #vscentorientreview

This smells like coffee in the morning during a camping trip. The coffee note comes on a bit strong at first and may seem a bit synthetic, but give it a half-hour, and the coffee subsides to a far more pleasant strength while a very well-rounded, natural fir note takes center stage. I wanted to try this for the coffee, but I ended up loving it for the impression of crisp mountain air. This may fall on the more male side of unisex, but I'm a female who deeply loves coffee and hiking so I will wear it happily. A little goes a long way and lasts all day. Gallagher Fragrances does not struggle with longevity issues.

It smell like coffee. A lot of coffee. It covers almost all the other notes, which is not a bad thing, because it keeps a nice dark mysterious aura around the person who wears it. I can't smell any of the two middle notes, because my skin chemistry reacts well with woody notes, and they become present very soon after applying. You can't wear this in a professional context. It's meant for a night out in a place that's loud and smells like booze, whether you're a lady or a gentleman. Sample before you buy, as it's not a fragrance that's easy to wear.

I believe i saved the best for last!! Wow.... just unbelievably overwhelming blend! That coffee mingled with that blood-sharp myrrh and sharp fir is just perfect! The coffee is slightly sweetened. That labdanum is mixed with sweet dark amber that gives the boost of dark sweet coffee. This is my favorite of the ones i have tried so far, and amusing take on coffee. Brilliant.

Honored to have a full bottle of this. I'm not HUGE on coffee fragrances, however this one is blended perfectly! The vanilla really tones the coffee down and makes it so cozy warm. Top tier fragrance! Too bad it's discontinued
