Sweet and cozy.
Love this one, sweet and cozy, perfect for fall.
It reminds me a little bit of Ariana Grande REM but they are for sure different enough to have both.
On me it’s sweet, lactonic, aromatic lavender with that hint of yummie coffee, sweet vanilla and woody background.
Totally unisex i would say and well blended.

At one of the study desks, someone sips a takeout coffee...
You're in a large, old fashioned library on a cool, quiet afternoon. It's a little bit cloudy outside. There are a few other people here, but not too many. Standing in one of the aisles in front of a bookshelf, you guess someone wearing lavender was probably just in the exact spot you were just standing in. You smell traces of that calming floral, but cannot identify its source. At one of the study desks, someone sips a takeout coffee. You peruse slowly, nothing on your schedule.

When wet on skin, the lavender is strong, with just a hint of coffee behind it. The coffee is not strong, but it's also impossible to miss, and it adds a wonderful complexity. Upon drydown, this transforms into a creamy floral wood scent.

Coffee Break
It delivers what it promises—coffee candy, lactonic milk, and soapy lavender. At first thought, I'll admit it's very "messy brunette bun and off-shoulder cardigan" energy. You know, pretty and girl-coded.

But that isn't to say a guy couldn't wear it either. I actually would be really interested to see how it wears on a guy. It'd be great on a relaxed weekend morning, a sort of "making coffee in your underwear" kind of vibe. I think the lavender smells aromatic and green instead of sugared, which makes the whole thing feel a little bit more elevated.

Lavender Bomb!
I am in love with the initial opening, a calm, creamy coffee. But, it turns into an overpowering lavender very quickly and stays there. I would love for this to be reformulated so that the coffee is more prominent. I don’t mind the idea of lavender as a supporting character, but I do find the name deceptive and so my expectations wound up leading to disappointment.

Realistic Coffee-Forward Frags:
Akro Awake (aromatic, bitter, refreshing coffee)
Kerosene Follow (sweet and rich fudge coffee)

Surprise fragrance
I was not expecting to like this as someone who dislikes coffee. I don't like a lot of coffee fragrances, for example coffee addict. First time I smelled this, I was unsure as to what I thought about this. Then I was surprised at the dry down which was mindblowing. This is a softer fragrance (still good longevity), suitable for warmer weather (not heat) unlike most gourmands in my opinion. The second time I smelled it, I fell in love. So this is going on my wish list. The sample set of Replica is great for trying out their fragrances!

Don't expect the overwhelming caffeine of a long black. It's a mild mix of milky vanilla and coffee at first, then subtly lavender. Average

A rush of coffee followed by lavender. Cozy and warm, unisex, all seasons, inviting, warm, calming.

really does smell like coffee. Don’t know if I would really want that in a perfume though.

There is more lavender in this than anything else. The coffee is almost imagined.

I found the lavender to be super overpowering, I couldn’t detect the coffee or other notes at all.

Coffee is extremely light. Mostly a pleasant lavender scent. Enjoyable but nothing super memorable.

Beautiful coffee scent of varying coffee roast levels, all while mixing with creamy milk and powdery, calming lavender.
