The Coffee Problem
Christmas Giveaway Comment No. 5
Today, I am giving the brand Aromantik another comment because I had such a nice contact with the owner/perfumer. All of her fragrances are made from purely natural ingredients, far from the ordinary, and the layout of the site appeals to me.Although I don't tolerate coffee well, I love its scent and taste. So I only get to enjoy it when my husband brews a cup in the morning and I get to spoon the crema off the top. The whole apartment then smells of freshly ground coffee beans and the creamy hot brew.
How wonderful it would be to find a perfume that captures this scent so that one can float in its cloud all day long!
Unfortunately, my search has been unsuccessful so far: Follow by Kerosene captures this scent quite well, but it changes in the blink of an eye to a too harsh-woody direction. Espresso Royale by Sebastiane has gingerbread spices in the coffee - that's nice, but not what I'm looking for. I have tested other fragrances that have the coffee note in the pyramid, but they have way too much additional stuff - even citrus fruits or flowers.
I was therefore very curious about Dark Side of the Spoon - just the name is a great idea and makes me smile.
But unfortunately, it does not offer me what I imagine under the morning coffee scent. The dark side of the spoon clearly smells of coffee, yes. It's not too sweet either.
It smells quite authentically like a latte macchiato, creamy from the milk foam and sweet from the brown sugar that can be sprinkled on top.
Big BUT: It disappears too quickly and hardly radiates. I have noticed this problem more often with oil-based natural fragrances.
Is it possible that it is impossible to capture the room-filling steam of a coffee machine in a bottle and then make it lasting and perceivable?
