Cuddling with Johnny

"Café Tabac is reminiscent of a legendary 90s bar in the East Village where Robert Gerstner and Karl Bradl, the founders of Aedes de Venustas, spent many a night. It was that magical place where Kate Moss once met Johnny Depp, where Madonna unpretentiously answered the phone or acted as a wardrobe mistress when she needed to, and where Leo di Caprio made friends with the odd supermodel."

When I read this text about the new Café Tabac, I could already imagine the atmosphere a little.
But what I smelled when it arrived yesterday exceeded my expectations:

I'm sitting in a wood-paneled bar with round tables and round leather sofas.
There is a large open fireplace crackling at the end of the long bar.

I decide to sit on one of the bar stools at the bar, because today I'm in a flirtatious mood.

I browse through the menu and discover many classics, deciding on an Old Fashioned. This one is made with an infused rum that has a cocoa and dried fruit flavor.
The bartender places the drink on the solid wood bar, which has recently been freshly polished. The aroma of the drink hits my nose and the ice cubes glisten in the dim light.

I'm wearing a floral, woody fragrance and my leather skirt with a red spaghetti crop top, plus Buffalos.
After the first sip of the drink, I start to notice the smells in the bar more strongly.
It smells a little like cigars and wood, mixed with the smoky scent of the fireplace.
The women's fragrances range from opulent floral to sugary sweet and mingle with the woody-fresh scents of the men.
I feel warm, lean back and enjoy the relaxed RnB beats.

This fragrance enchanted me and put me in a cozy mood. A truly successful work by Bertrand Duchaufour.

I see it on rainy days in the fall or in the winter time.

Smoky, sweet-spicy and cozy masterpiece.
However, as always with Aedes de Venustas, the longevity could be a little better.
