What wearers say
“My initial spray on paper was extremely acidic, and I picked up lots of citrus, which was really off-putting. Once it dries down on paper it smells like By the Fireplace by Maison Margiela. On my skin, it initially smells like really sweet coffee, but the dry down is pretty similar to the dry down on paper. Overall I think this is nice, but I prefer other fragrances.”
“This is probably the best coffee scent you could get.Smells like coffee with a touch of lemon in the opening but once it settles down on the skin all you get is coffee beans and it lasts all day.Perfect for fall and winter.I wear this fragrance often to relax sometimes, puts me in a chill mood.Perfectly unisex.”
“The opening of this perfume is my dream coffee fragrance, it smells like a cozy hazelnut black coffee BUT that only lasted around 3 minutes on my skin, after that it smelled like straight up celery. I don't know if it performs poorly on hot weather but it was disgusting, the celery phase lasted way too long and eventually it settled into an okay musky scent.”
