What tiramisu could've been
If the notes had been better balanced this could've turned out into a wonderful coffee, tiramisu gourmand-like fragrance. Instead, my nose is greeted by a very strong, pungent and overbearing patchouli (the same I've smelled in Black Lotus and Chypre Sublime) battling it out with a strong, dark coffee note. There's also a pronounced spiciness and some florals underneath. I did forget about it for awhile as it lied on my skin since I'm not a fan of patchouli nor coffee notes. When I came back to it, it smelled a lot more creamy than what I remembered. I could also smell a lovely ylang-ylang note with a shy, but present tiramisu note. Unfortunately patchouli was still there and marred the accord.

This is a very daring fragrance. It's dark and it doesn't concede anything. If patchouli and coffee had been dialed down, giving a place for the creamy tiramisu note to shine, it would've probably been great even if I'm not a coffee fan. It does have very long lasting power (although it doesn't radiate as much as I though since I did forget about it for awhile). I strongly recommend you try it out before blind-buying it.

You gotta admire the guts!
I find this fragrance charming despite it not always being easy to wear.

I detect three main notes/groups of notes. The first is the coffee: spicy, a little pungent, but also earthy. The second is I assume, the tiramisu accord with maybe some ylang mixed in. It's sweet and creamy, and does smell a little like tiramisu. Finally, mixed in between these, a third element: chocolate. It's rich, smooth, and velvety.

On a bad day, the coffee feels a bit too astringent, the tiramisu feels too in-my-face sweet, and all in all it's a pretty odd combination. But I still admire the originality.

On a good day, the coffee nestles in just right and it becomes beautiful.

This would make a great party fragrance - this is that chaotic person you meet at the club who smells a bit sweet but also a bit like smoke - but I also have this image of wearing it in a cabin in the snow after a day spent skiing.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who is reminded of Black Opium. I agree they have some things in common: they're both sweet fragrances with a coffee note. I think of Ylang-Ylang Espresso as what would happen if you told Black Opium that vanilla was illegal starting today, and - by the way - you really think it would be good for their street cred to play it a bit cooler.

I'm pretty obsessed.

Very pungent, strong patchouli almost overshadows everything. A familiar rose and a creamy tiramisu I wished had come out better.
