Coffee Blend

As is my routine, when this arrived, I immediately spritzed a few, then, put it away for some time to macerate. I'm not here to go back & forth with the clowns who wanna debate between macerate, mature, or whatever other word they prefer. They know what I'm doing, and, why. My first couple of spritzes, I got the impression that this was a lovely scent, but, very light. I don't mind a lovely, light scent, but, I don't necessarily go out of my way looking for light scents, either. I was certainly hoping that the macerating process would do some improving of that aspect of the fragrance for me. Today...in fact, just now, I got back from a 2, 3 mile walk around, in 75 degree weather. Not hot, but, definitely on the warmer side. It also just so happened to be my trial run of Coffee Blend, as well. I am extremely happy to note that Coffee Blend is no longer a subdued, light scent anymore! The warm wind blowing is usually enough to knock the edge off of most scents (on me), if I break a sweat while walking, but, this one, I could smell it in the breeze, through the breeze, over the breeze. I'm home, just afterward, writing this review, and, though not as strongly, I can still smell Coffee Blend radiating off of me. I WILL be buying a back-up bottle. I'm just waiting on Vanilla Voyage to come back in stock, so, I can buy them together.

I love this scent. Perfect choice for winter and fall. It just has something relaxing, soothing and cozy about it. The coffee note is pretty strong. Licorice is obvious too, along with the nutty notes. It's not cloying, at least to my nose, but quite airy and fluffy from the white flowers. After more than six or seven months, this one changed a lot. The coffee note and pretty much every note listed is there, but to me, this one has a boozy note. I remember that, to my nose, there was a note that I couldn't quite understand at first, although now I know I smelled it in Sweet Heaven before, but in here it's milder. In this I can feel a note of chocolate candies with cherry filling (not cherry liqueur but the ones with dark chocolate and cherry flavor) that is quite potent. When I smell my wrist is not there, but in the air it is. I really like it, it's a nice twist for me.

From the very first spray, Coffee Blend is instantly captivating. It opens with a smooth, comforting coffee‐latte accord — not harsh or bitter, but creamy and inviting, like the first sip of a hot latte. As it settles, the fragrance transforms beautifully. The coffee note softens into the background, allowing a rich crème caramel sweetness to take centre stage. The dry‐down is indulgent without ever becoming heavy: a silky blend of caramelised sugar, soft vanilla, and just a whisper of that original coffee latte lingering underneath. It feels warm, cosy, and deliciously addictive — the kind of scent that wraps around you like a soft blanket. If you love gourmand fragrances that balance sweetness with a gentle coffee nuance, Coffee Blend is a beautifully crafted treat.

Coffee Blend is such a comforting scent! The coffee note isn’t overpowering—it’s more of a soft, creamy backdrop that blends beautifully with vanilla and almond. It’s *so* gourmand, like a sweet coffeehouse treat. To me, it smells exactly like how I used to smell after finishing a shift at Starbucks—warm, cozy, and lightly dusted in the scent of steamed milk and syrup. If you love a subtle coffee fragrance with a deliciously inviting vibe, this one’s a winner!

This is so close to Amore Caffe that idk if anything can come closer. Maybe a bit less concentrated and has less of this bitter amaretto AC note (which is awesome and not a bad kind of bitterness at all) but still a very close dupe. Doesn't have any artificiousness on the dry down too (which is very important to my sensitive nose and a lot of arabian dupes have it). Longevity is the same as OG maybe even longer. Perfect for the price.
