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.

For me this is happiness and comfort in a bottle. When I wear it. I just cannot stop smelling myself. I've always felt that fresh brewed coffee or even just opening up a lid of ground coffee is one of the best smells ever. And to put it in a fragrance to me was just a no-brainer and this one is done so well! The blend is perfection and Well balanced! And when I want to smell extra creamy, I layer it with Vanilla voyage!

I absolutely love this perfume, I just received it today along with vanilla voyage. This one right here is my favorite, it's a delicious warm vanilla, very gourmand to my novice nose. Can definitely smell a sugary vanilla latte with a little sprinkle of a little spice. So cozy. Not sharp, and doesn't smell like someone spilled a literal latte on their clothes. I loooove the bottle itself and the fragrance within it.

This arrived several of weeks ago and I could hardly smell anything when I tried it. I let it macerate for a couple of weeks and just tried it this evening and wow! This is delicious! I smell like I'm in a coffee shop that has freshly baked sweets waiting to eaten. Definitely atmospheric, cozy and comforting.

This smells like coffee and liquorice to me, but not in a bitter or ugly way. Longevity and performance is great, especially for the price. A decent sweet coffee gourmand perfume. I’ve got the cute little travel bottle, but I’d maybe consider buying a full bottle in the future.

Doesn't perform/project quite as well as Vanilla Voyage but still well worth it for the reasonable price, it definitely smells like an indulgent Starbs beverage and I love it.

Fell in love with it, the coffee scent is everything especially with the sweet notes. For sure will buy again.

beast mode of Mancera - Amore Caffe. great job!

Picture Amore Cafe with a shot of coffee

It's surprisingly nice. The coffee note hits strong at first...it's kind of a diner coffee smell which I don't mind. It needs more spices...the only note on me is coffee which I like as it's unapologetic coffee but it would be nicer with some richer depth of spice. Tried layering it with some other scents. I don't smell liquorice or any other note at all no sweet notes at all appear for me which i prefer to overly sweet. Still searching for a strong cinnamon chai perfume to layer it with if anyone has suggestions. Not a beast mode of a smell on me but it's decidedly bold up front coffee.

Milky coffee, hazelnuts, caramel and only a touch of liquorice (not too much in your face, don't worry) is what I'm getting the most from Coffee Blend. I didn't care for it much in the summer when I bought it, but I'm using it more now in cold season as it's cozy and comforting. Lasts for at least 8 hours and projects well, I get lots of compliments. Similar to Khadlaj's Cafe Latte, but with better performance. Perfectly unisex in my opinion. Nice alternative if you love gourmands, but are a bit tired of vanilla. Coffee lovers should enjoy it too.

This is a straight-up hot caramel latte with extra caramel drizzled on top. Very gourmand. Don`t expect any sort of "high perfumery", elaborate development or multiple layers. It is what it is pretty much from first spritz all the way to hours into drydown. And yes, this has a very impressive lasting power. It`s cozy and beautiful. Great for the cold season. I personally also love the mock-retro bottle. I`m pretty happy with this purchase. Strong like

Vanilla Voyage was too sweet for me, so I turned my attention to Coffee Blend. It's still very sweet, but it's also fun, casual, very unserious and literally delicious. Heavy on the licorice, which I absolutely love. Long lasting and the sillage is great, just with one spray. Would love a 10 ml decant, I don't even want the whole bottle, because it's so sweet it has to be enjoyed occasionally :)

ms coffee blend opens resembling the taste of a handful of warm nutty almonds, washed down with a big gulp of sweetened almond milk. coffee? maybe, if it was an extra weak almond latte with 3 pumps of vanilla. ill still take it! i thought what was most interesting was the scent on paper vs skin. paper test was a pure vanilla, no nut. dries down to a musky vanilla skin scent. meow

I loved the fragrance. Of course, you can clearly smell the coffee with the vanilla, but it doesn't just smell like something edible, nor does it feel synthetic, it's a realistic smell. In my opinion, the fragrance has character and I find it to be very sophisticated cozy gourmand. I got it on eBay at a very affordable price.

Much better than its sister, Vanilla Voyage! This one is actually pleasant! No thick musk, it smells like a tiramisu with almond. There is a sweetness that I can’t tell what it is oki am guessing from that almond. Not too heavy on the coffee.

Beautiful coffee gourmand. Soft silky and smooth. Gives delicate coffee with a hint of a nutty cookie and milk. Probably best coffee gourmand out there. No weird flowers, no masculinity at all.

Latte macchiato with a hint of vanilla (a bit minty) and almond. Lactonic, milky, coffee, gourmand, smooth, and sweet. It's nice and unique. It has good sillage and longevity.

I swear this has a smashed ripe banana note in it~ :) ...in a good way. LOL

Would not repurchase tbh I would say leans more masculine

When I first received this bottle all I could smell was licorice. But I think the scent improved with time. Still, not my favorite coffee fragrance.

Big disappointment. Of all the terrible coffee disappointing buys I’m looking at you (taskeen caramel, tiramisu coco, date caramel, mocha latte), this one I hate the least because it’s so weak it has no real smell except something synthetic and aniseed (yuck). Everyone loves the vanilla voyage sister of this one but if it’s anything like the quality of this sucker, I’m really not buying that one either. I give you 6mths to improve (like the others listed in brackets) or it’s the garbage bin for you all. Not a safe blind buy.

Smells like bitter coffee and tobacco on my skin unfortunately

dry down is pure foldgers coffee, nothing else

This smells like tapioca pearls in a dirty 7/11. Oakcha’s ‘Caramel Brew’ is a better budget coffee buy in my opinion. My partner and I were eagerly awaiting this for almost two months while it was lost in transit only to be violently let down. 🥲 I was sniffing my wrist and wondering where I was getting licorice from; sure enough its listed here in the notes. The licorice destroys any remotely redeeming qualities of this disaster in a bottle. 🤢

Coffee blend smells surprisingly similar to Aquolina Pink sugar: it has the same burnt sugar note that smells incredibly screechy and synthetic. There’s also a very prominent licorice note that overpowers the whole composition. Can’t really detect coffee in this. Some say this is better than Vanilla Voyage, but I strongly disagree. Cheap smelling. A very dissapointing blind buy. Test before you fall for the hype!

It's very perfumy to my surprise, it reminds me of Caramel Macchiato from Fragrance World which is louder and no i dont smell any coffee from either of them. I was expecting creamy coffee, but i didnt get any of that. Not a safe blind buy if you are looking for a traditional coffee fragrance It gives off date almondy lactonic cooling vibe and the musk here might trigger headache for some ppl Projection: LOUD Longevity: 8hours on the skin, longer on the clothes Unisex to feminine Not a safe blind buy

I have it, I bought it with vanilla voyage. I think coffee blend smells absolutely amazing. It’s like a stronger and more almondy version of Mancera Amore Cafe. This thing is beast mode and lasts hours. Projection is absolutely amazing. I love this fragrance. It’s one of my favorites. I’m an absolute gourmand girlie, and this is an absolute staple in my collection!

I bought the combo with Vanilla Voyage, this is very almond forward and then I think the licorice and caramel give it a very subtle plasticy quality like vintage candy. Definitely gourmand but not edible. Great to layer with vanilla voyage as the combo pack would suggest.

Literally smells identical to amore caffe by mancera. I have one spray of coffee blend and one spray of amore caffe and I cant detect a difference between the two! So if you have been wanting to purchase amore caffe but the price has stopped you - purchase this instead!

Very similar to amore caffe but much more alcoholic and has more of a nutty top note(the almonds I guess) that I don't particularly like. But still a much more affordable option than mancera with a similar scent profile.

smells like concentrated coffee , similar to vanilla voyage but sharper i would say but its very pretty

I loved the coffee smell, but wanted more of it:(

Love this bottle - has hints of nostalgia to it.
