Khadlaj's Caffè Latte vs. Zimaya's Tiramisu Coco
Attention, attention! in my opinion, Caffé Latte and Tiramisu Coco are definitely similar! You don't need either of them in your collection. They have the same kind of sweetness, a present vanilla base, some coffee and an intense almond note. Tiramisu Coco in particular reminded me strongly of the Bianco Latte DNA. Khadlaj's Caffe Latte is similar to Coco. They both come from the same tasty-smelling family.
Tiramisu Coco
Has an amaretto note, sometimes reminiscent of amarettini - slightly pastry-like, with a little hint of tipsy acidity. I would say it smells a little sweeter overall. Clearly lactonic, creamy, rather sticky-sweet.
Longevity and sillage: Good - quite intense, as with many gourmands.
Caffe Latte
Slightly less sweet. More almond, more coffee. The coffee note flashes up from time to time and brings a pleasant astringency for a second, but quickly disappears again. The coffee association is still recognizable. Overall, it is less creamy, less sweet and has more intensity in the "dark" fragrance components.
Longevity and sillage: A BEAST! Sprayed one day in the early afternoon, threw on the sweater the next day around noon - and it still smelled beautifully sweet, vanilla-like and surprisingly intense.
Where? Who? When?
I can imagine that people looking for a dupe to Amore Café are more likely to find it here than with Coco. This fragrance might also appeal more to male sweet tooths because it smells a little less sweet, flat and sticky.
Nevertheless, my reference point will always be the DNA of Bianco Latte and co. Only men who like sweet fragrances of this kind will enjoy Caffe Latte. Caffe Latte doesn't smell very "perfumey", but rather like a rather edible gourmand - you have to like that.
If you wear the scent early in the office, you're bound to be followed by your caffeine-addicted colleagues. It's best to always have a pot of coffee with you - otherwise they'll bite your arm!
Scented grouch:
He: "Liquorice?"
Me: "No, coffee."
He: "Liquoriceee!"
This is really crazy! I had already written part of the review a few days ago. Now I read Garnele's comment with the licorice association and thought to myself: "This can't be true... Do I have the super nose at home?" In any case, my scent muffler often smells facets that I can't perceive at all. I definitely don't smell the licorice note :D
Comparative conclusion:
Sweet, delicious, simple. I like Khadlaj's Caffee Latte better than the Tiramisu Coco, even if the difference isn't too big. But it's the crucial difference: more coffee! In this price range, this is the best "coffee" fragrance for me so far.
Conclusion:
I drink coffee quite excessively - espresso, Americano or the communal pot of filter coffee at work. The main thing is black! The taste and aroma are perfect for me.
But so far, no perfume has come close to capturing this feeling or smell.
"Caffee Latte" is undoubtedly a beautifully crafted fragrance with impressive longevity and sillage. Nevertheless, I am unsure whether I should buy it. The reason? MY coffee simply doesn't smell like this. Instead, vanilla, sugar and milk dominate - notes that remind me of the time when I used to drink my coffee like this when I was 16. Maybe I should just wait and hope that a simple, authentic "espresso" fragrance will come onto the market at some point. Without any frills. And how do you like your coffee?

But that's really good for this fragrance.
I love it very much.
Layered with the Amore Café, it is suitable for going out.
Alone just to cuddle up at home❤
I've been through a few coffee fragrances now and have to say the Mancera wins the race for me.
