By the editors · 2 min readA sharp grapefruit twist meets dark roasted coffee in the opening, the citrus cutting against bitter aromatic depth before fading. The pairing reads more bittersweet than fresh, with the coffee dominating within minutes.
The drydown is where the perfume lives. Benzoin and vanilla pour a thick caramelised sweetness around the coffee, while patchouli adds an earthy, almost cocoa-adjacent shadow. Musk smooths the seam between the rich base notes.
Overall this is a gourmand-leaning warm scent built on coffee and resinous sweetness, with a soft woody-earthy floor. Cool weather and close quarters suit it; in heat the sweetness can feel heavy.
