Superbe Cafè

I'm quite perplexed by some of the negative views about this perfume. I find it warm and cosy and unlike many more expensive coffee note fragrances the opening sweetness dissipates quite quickly and leaves the coffee note hanging in the air for much of the rest of the day. This has been backed up by some of my friends and colleagues, its a perfume that actually hones feedback, all positive. One friend actually likes sniffing my sweater. This company has so many excellent perfumes I have six altogether to me they're as good as niche and not at all synthetic pretenders. Don't be put off...to me this is the goat when it comes to coffee scents.

Rich dense persistent with strong sillage. I cannot detect the coffee but rose, vanilla and amber are there (it is also similar to some rose/light oud bouquets). I never tried Montale Intense cafe but I can see some resemblance with Cafe rose by Tom Ford (less rose here and more vanilla). Overall it may not be a complete original fragrance but the ingredients are excellent and the performance good. The bottle is nice and I received many compliments wearing this. It is definitely a line to explore better. Not blind buy, but for that price you could! 4/5

This is straight up Montale Intense Café. I love it and it’s very natural smelling. The bottle is beautiful, one of my favourites (out of a very large collection) as it has a real premium feel and great design. I wholeheartedly recommend this if you love Intense Café. For the incredible price you’ll be pleased that you tried it.

My favourite LPDO scent. Great for cooler weather or date nights. Nuff said.

When I bought it and brought it home, all I could smell was roses—just roses. And honestly, that really upset me because I bought it hoping for coffee. I decided to let it sit in my closet for about two weeks and then tried it over a moisturizing cream. Wow! The rose became sweeter, and now I can actually pick up the coffee. It’s not a coffee drink vibe, though—more like roasted coffee beans paired with slightly powdery roses. I wouldn’t call this a gourmand or even a "coffee perfume." I’d say the rose is the dominatrix wife in this marriage with coffee in the background, and their kids are amber and musk.
