Beat Cafe

Boozy tobacco with a big dose of pepper and coriander enveloped in a very warm, resinous, amber heavy base. I do like Beat Caffe and seem fairly long lasting as first impression, but I would prefer to smell it on a male rather than on me. It puts me in the mood of MMM Jaz Club, which I already have, and I realised I don’t really wear that much. Comparing these two, Jaz Club smells more feminine than Beat Cafe. Has a floral touch in the opening and it’s vanilla based, a tad sweeter! Value for money is not quite there, Jusbox’s perfumes are pretty pricey for the amount you get. Objectively, a really well composed fragrance, more on the masculine side, very rich and expensive smelling. Fall and winter season appropriate because of the scent profile and because it’s a quite intense one. Really good quality! If you’re a guy looking for something that sounds like this, you have to get your nose on this.

2016.01.10 A girl friend of mine invited to come over and I smelled this on her. It smelled fantastic. She showed me the bottle and I needed to know what it was. It instantly reminded me gucci pour homme - a classic by gucci from early 00s. It is crisp warm a bit dark. You can definetely smell pepper, cedar even papyrus. For me personally it is a bit more sweet and feminine than gucci ph 1 yet in the same vibe. It lacks that somewhat dirty and even intoxicating darkness that its predecessors had. Not necessarilly a bad thing. A tamed beast. It is unisex so I might actually reach out fot this in the future. I can recommend this scent it is a good spicy cedar parfum with a touch of sweetness. Overall 8/10. Longevity and Silage is good it was very cold outside but I could feel it.

Judging from the notes I expected something heavier and more pungent but it's definitely not. The opening it is. But wait a few minutes and it becomes smooth and rounded and sits close to the skin which I wouldn't expect to find in a perfume that has leather, woods, tobacco, and cognac. It reminds me a little of Baraonda (although that one doesn't have tobacco I could always smell it in there) which I love so win-win because this seems more wearable too. It's like a child of Baraonda who grew up to 30 and now he has his own taste, but his father's class definitely inspired and awed him throughout his childhood.

Intoxicating wood bomb with complimentary hints of tobacco, leather and laudanum. The rest of the notes listed were really surprising to me, especially coriander. Masculine and sexy. It smells like a reimagining of an old fragrance. Like something the men in Mad Men would wear. Vintage woody, potent and smooth. Longevity and silage are ok but could be better. Fragrance is brilliant. All seasons, day and night. Safe but standout. Suitable for formal and casual occasions. Very manly. Very sexy. Very cool.

Another line in my search for a coffee scent. While this perfume certainly did not fulfill the coffee criteria it still wowed me. A beautiful and warm Woody scent that is silmoultaneously a little bit sexy. It develops beautifully after the first few minutes and lasts strongly for around 6 hours on me. It is insanely expensive but I have yet to find another perfume with the same performance.

Is it just me that smells like Black Phantom by Kilian, which I adore?

So it seems that this was inspired by Bob Dylan and the Café's from the 60th. I don't know much about either so...here's my take on it. The coriander is the first thing that hits my nose, after which comes a nice sweet tobacco with flavory cognac; this part is quite nice and warm until the pepper and cedar kicks in to put some spice on the table. An hour in and the dominant aroma is spicy woody. The late dry down is warm, spicy, woody and a touch vanilic from the benzoin. The name is somehow misleading as I was expecting some level of coffee in it, but I didn't get any. Surely in that places some coffee should have been drunk. 6/10

Also tested in SELFRIDGES. First impression is very good with ample of boozy cognac, vetiver, tobacco, leather and coriander. It's a pity that nicely fruity, wet cognac note is super flighty and immediately disappears. What's left is another leathery, vetivery, peppery cacophony that seems to fall apart. If find that both scents I have tried, very quickly fall apart after having a good first impression where every note was present. This one is somewhat more pleasant than the overly sweet vanilla sister "14 Hr Dream". Juice: 5/10 Just not original enough and there are tons better cents out there with a prominent cognac note.

Quite intoxicating masculine-leaning scent. It has an aged, dusty, character, like being in an old wood-panelled library. The cedar, vetiver and tobacco are the most prominent notes. The coriander and pepper sit on top to give it a dry spicy flavour, and then below there is a beautiful warm balsamic character from the cognac and benzoin. It makes me think of a sophisticated man sitting in an old study drinking a glass of cognac. I’m giving it to my boyfriend because unfortunately it’s a bit too masculine for me, but I think it’ll smell great on him.

Great perfume, to my nose very manly and classy. Upon spraying, very masculine, freshly shaved man even, but no cheap cologne aura. This note stays later on as well (I believe it's the vetiver touch) but very toned down. Refined tobacco and liquor notes (although not very aggresive), but accompanied with this hint of freshness. Only downside is it's sillage and longevity... on my skin there's a really short path to skin scent, and a tendency to fade fast which is too bad because it's a really nice masculine scent.

Beat Cafe smells like a more boozy Ecrin De Fumee or a much more wearable Private Label (or really a mix of the two)...a solid fragrance...black pepper, coriander, cognac, and tobacco are quite prominent in the opening...smells like unlisted dried fruits underneath...the base begins to reveal itself after 20-30 minutes...cedar, leather, vetiver...I had written this off initially, but it’s better than my first impression...the given rating is pretty on point

Interesting fragrance that smells good, but for me at least is just a little too familiar with other scents within the profile. The one, jazz club, halfeti etc.. I think that you can get cheaper alternatives, that being said, I rated it a like because it does smell good, but there is something in the background that comes out as a little synthetic, fortunately it's not a deal breaker. Full bottle worthy? For me, no.

i was starting to think i don't like tobacco scents, but this one is nice and warm and woody and blended very well. it feels old-fashioned and gives off a certain vibe that's hard to place. not unpleasant at all.

Opening blast feels like the same sweet woody slightly nutty smell of Gris Charnel before turning into a weak tobacco leather lite scent with poor performance

Very clean peppery opening Leaning masculine As it's drying dry woody notes emerge along with some tobacco and leather The aromatic aspects are still present

It leans really masculine Heavy perfume, hard to describe Drydown is the nicest thing about it

no cafe here, boozy tobacco scent similar to MR SAM

Smells like an antique shop from the 90s both in a good and bad way. I like the nostalgia and imagery I get, old wooden shelves , worn out leather couches , ash tray somewhere and a stale coffee or spilled coffee on musty carpet floors. But there is something synthetic that is quite bothersome and makes me grimace because it makes me nauseous, along with the alcohol smell . I would like it better if it was smoother . It does last forever though

This one has me torn. I don't love it, but I don't hate it. It is definitely a more masculine leaning scent but it's sweet enough that women can get away with it. It has an addictive quality that I can't stop sniffing it but there's something in there that I'm just not vibing with. I think if a guy was wearing this I'd love it, but it's just not for me.

I own Mr. Sam and this smells like you took Mr. Sam and left it stuck in the opening. I get no booze from this fragrance. Possibly in the bitter dry down, but all I smell is shaving soap or aftershave. Or like a powdery blue soap. Not sure if I was sent a bad batch, not a fan.
