8 Café Josephine

This was a blind buy success! I got my bottle, sprayed it on, and im instantly reminded of cafe des delices by maison mataha. It is different, I wouldn't go as far to say a dupe, but its definitely close and a more affordable option. Cafe Josephine opens with a beautiful coffee note, not bitter, the vanilla is beautiful, and the caramel adds depth and a boozyness (i tend to get a boozy note from some caramel) so the caramel isn't a sickly sweet caramel, rather rich and deep. I love the almond in the opening, thats where its different to cafe des delices. And while cafe des delices on the dry down reminded me of Palmers cocoa butter cream, ledda cafe Josephine is not doing that, the coffee note is sticking around, keeping it from becoming just a vanilla and caramel scent. Its gorgeous, I love it. Definitely worth a try, not sure if it would be blind buy safe, especially if you not keen on coffee .

I cannot believe there are not 100's of reviews for this scent. This is beautiful. Delicate, airy yet you can smell it on yourself, it has silage and it lasts. It's sweet and lovely. The sandalwood is soft and every other note is just delicious. Perfect fall/winter. I could see this as a nice date night scent in the spring/fall. It is flawless. Finally a perfume done right.

This one is so so good. Starts out black coffee but after a little while mellows to a sweet creamy vanilla coffee. Lasts Forever on clothes. I actually had to change after about 7 hours cuz I wanted another scent. The scent lasted on my clothes through 2 washes.

This one smells so good! I love it! It smells very similar to BBW Birthday Cake Milk Bar collaboration. The coffee is not the star here as it is mainly in the opening, it's rich creamy and it smells like buttercream frosting.

What a delicious surprise! 😍 I had already Bourbon Brulee which I adore! And this one is as good! Gourmand, creamy deliciousness which is different from every coffee perfume I own. 10/10 😋
