Café Arabica

Orientica Premium "Cafe Arabica" is a positive immediate love for me. Cafe Arabica is (yet) another iteration of Mancera "Amore Caffe" minus the intensely sweet, dense, boozy-Amaretto-almond accord in Amore Caffe. I've owned and wore many bottles of Amore Caffe; I love the perfume. Cafe Arabica is similar to Amore Caffe with a few notable differences. Cafe Arabica does not develop with marked booziness. The amaretto accord in Cafe Arabica is dialed way back (much to my delight). The perfume unfolds the perfect balance of coffee-creamy-sweet-almond-amaretto notes. Cafe Arabica is a strong, photo-realistic, creamy coffee fragrance. The heart of Cafe Arabica is smooth, soft, billowy and creamy with the perfect amount of caramel to sweeten things up a tad. Cafe Arabica is a "cafe au lait" journey. This perfume is super-lactonic, uber-creamy and pillowy-soft. The base of vanilla, amber and musk perfectly even-out and complement the perfume's opening and heart notes. The tonka keeps things from becoming cloyingly sweet. The perfume's dry-down is a creamy, comforting, lactonic-coffee goodness. I love Cafe Arabica, I truly do! The perfume's creamy, smooth, dry-down makes all the difference for me. And as an aside, I love the perfume's bottle, too. For me, the bottle is substantial and gorgeous (gorgeous in an excessive kinda way). What can I say...

If you're a gourmand lover, this fragrance is essential. It features a creamy affogato coffee note with a hint of rose (not listed), or perhaps the ambergris adds a fresh rose-like crispness. I absolutely love this scent, and it also has excellent longevity.

This is definitely a fall and winter fragrance not for every body but to me its a love at first Sniff loving it

On the hood this what'd you wear when you know you gettin' da booty. Gourmand. Soft yet strong. Creamee-smellin'. Comforting. Cozy. Cuddlingee. Def a compliment getter-er. Sheeeeyuh!
