What wearers say
“Don’t tell me you are a fragrance lover if you don’t own this beauty.If this was made by Louis Vuitton with a ridiculous 500€ price tag it would have still been worth it. Masterpiece great performance great character unique and original affordable price with niche quality you will receive different compliments with this one. Worth every penny and definitely should be in your fragrance collection.10/10EDITED at least buy 2 bottles of this one..the performance is really good and long lasting but it’s so addictive I just can’t get enough of it.”
“It lasts long but barely has any sillage - I have to be closer than 10 cm to my arms to detect it, but this is the best coffee scent I smelt so far and it's dirt cheap. Smells exactly like a brown coffee candy from my childhood. I also love it's green color; very elegant. Makes me feel good every time I wear it, but others probably won't notice this fragrance on you if they aren't hugging you. With some real projection it would be one of my favourite scents.”
“Smells exactly like the Kopiko coffee candy tastes. The opening is just pure coffee that lasts for like an hour, then it turns into a sweet coffee-ish fragrance.Asked people around me what they thought, one person loved it, the rest liked the scent but not as a fragrance. It's too coffee-ish for them.”
