Nice semi-powdery coffee with pepper
Sampling Maison Tahite I Ristretto, from their recent coffee quarter released in 2022, a blend of coffee, iris, pink pepper, violet, and cashmeran, with even a bit of a rosy vibe, a very pleasant mix that, while including coffee, is not coffee-intensive but feels like maybe one third coffee, one third iris, and one third violet/cashmeran/other notes. Dark and smooth coffee strikes me as a good foil to iris, to prevent the overall mix from being too sharp/powdery/screechy, while still having a bit of sweetness in the mix as well, coming off like a pinch of vanilla and musk. I quite like it and it adds variety to the other coffee-themed fragrances I’ve tried so far. Overall I like and it performs well, as well.

I Ristretto, like the rest of the house, is priced very reasonably at $115 for 100ml, in EDP concentration, and is sold at Luckyscent (where I bought the sample set) among other boutiques.

Dont be fooled
This is pure unisex, I'd go as far to say leaning masculine, it has a dark vibe to it. Very sexy, wouldn't personally call it gourmand, but floral, spicey iris bomb. Better then spicebomb extreme. For sure. Yeah I said it. Sue me curly xD this stuff is just creamy, dark spicey sexy. I don't pick up ALOT of coffee, but drydown is woody iris maple vibe. Ok maybe it is a BIT gourmand....

A new combination
I had never smelled ris and coffee together: I must say that it is a really interesting combination.
At the beginning you can smell the elements well blended, then the coffee (which seems sugary), it's as if it detaches itself from the dustiness of the Iris and the softness of the violet, making me perceive them all as distinct elements.
Original, a coffee that maybe I would wear during the day, I liked it but it didn't make me say “wow”.
I see her as very youthful, fresh.

well, i might actually not like iris in my perfumes
or at least iris served like this - the way its bitterness combines with the unsweetened coffee and patchouli smells kind of like the wet coffee grounds that have been sitting in your machine overnight. in that sense, i guess they got the ristretto part right?
the zingy pink pepper and soft cashmeran work together very hard to give this concoction some warmth, but it just lost in the grind(er?)...

A strong fragrance...
... of roasted coffee in the coffee roastery. In front of me is a freshly brewed latte with violets rolled in sugar. It's a wonderful gourmand coffee aroma. I think I'll order another one.

When you apply this fragrance, the first thing you get is a strong, sweet coffee note with a slight alcohol content that lingers throughout the fragrance. This is joined by a light powdery iris and violet scent. The whole is rounded off with cashmere and patchouli, which bring a light creamy freshness in the background.

The longevity is good and the silage is just right for this fragrance, it is not overpowering.

If you like a sweet coffee scent, you've come to the right place. I like it and like to wear it on colder days all year round.
