At one of the study desks, someone sips a takeout coffee...

You're in a large, old fashioned library on a cool, quiet afternoon. It's a little bit cloudy outside. There are a few other people here, but not too many. Standing in one of the aisles in front of a bookshelf, you guess someone wearing lavender was probably just in the exact spot you were just standing in. You smell traces of that calming floral, but cannot identify its source. At one of the study desks, someone sips a takeout coffee. You peruse slowly, nothing on your schedule.

When wet on skin, the lavender is strong, with just a hint of coffee behind it. The coffee is not strong, but it's also impossible to miss, and it adds a wonderful complexity. Upon drydown, this transforms into a creamy floral wood scent.

Coffee Break

It delivers what it promises—coffee candy, lactonic milk, and soapy lavender. At first thought, I'll admit it's very "messy brunette bun and off-shoulder cardigan" energy. You know, pretty and girl-coded.

But that isn't to say a guy couldn't wear it either. I actually would be really interested to see how it wears on a guy. It'd be great on a relaxed weekend morning, a sort of "making coffee in your underwear" kind of vibe. I think the lavender smells aromatic and green instead of sugared, which makes the whole thing feel a little bit more elevated.

Surprise fragrance

I was not expecting to like this as someone who dislikes coffee. I don't like a lot of coffee fragrances, for example coffee addict. First time I smelled this, I was unsure as to what I thought about this. Then I was surprised at the dry down which was mindblowing. This is a softer fragrance (still good longevity), suitable for warmer weather (not heat) unlike most gourmands in my opinion. The second time I smelled it, I fell in love. So this is going on my wish list. The sample set of Replica is great for trying out their fragrances!

A favorite

I'm halfway through my second bottle of this and have been wearing it for several years now. I'm usually very sensitive to lavender as a scent/plant, but Coffee Break does not set off any sneezing nor does it give me a rash. Instead, it adds a nice freshness to an otherwise creamy and milky perfume. Phenomenal scent for fall and winter, but I also think the lavender makes it work on fresh spring days too. In temps of say 30+ C, I think the milk note can turn a little sour, but it is honestly close to a year round fragrance for me. I feel like if I had a signature scent at the moment, it would be this one.

Good sillage for the first hour or so and after that, it becomes a cozier skin scent that last probably 4-5 hours on me.

This is a compliment getter for me and is one of only two perfumes where an actual stranger has come up to ask me what I'm wearing and then proceed to tell me they thought all women should smell like this. It's hands down my favorite from the Replica line up.

Ordinary Moments

This is so simple but evocative : comforting lavender, coffee with milk. It really does replicate a moment when you pop into a cafe on a chilly fall Sunday morning after you’ve showered and readied for the day (to me that’s the lavender). The coffee is the subtle aroma it has after you you’ve stopped by the counter to add a bit of milk, not at all the strength of energizing black coffee. This one was made for relaxing.
