coffee

Amore Caffè beginnt mit einem Hauch von süßen Kaffeebohnen, wie man sie als Garnitur auf Kaffee-Eiscreme gibt. Der Auftakt erinnert an TK's Coffee addict, aber dann ändert sich das. Auf meiner Haut fühlt es sich an wie Vanilleeis, das in Kaffee ertränkt wurde, süß, karamellisiert, mit Pralinen und mit Amaretto bestreut. Es kann auch an die Pralinen mit Kaffeebohnen erinnern, die es im Café zum Espresso gibt, oder an die geeiste Kaffeesahne. Man riecht auch den karamellisierten, verbrannten Zucker der Crème brulèe. Derselbe Hauch von süßem Kaffee wie im Ristretto Intense von Montale, aber natürlich ohne die Rose.

The Affogato Experience in a Bottle

If you've ever indulged in an affogato (a scoop of vanilla ice cream luxuriously drowned in a shot of hot espresso) then you already have a good idea of what Mancera Amore Caffè is trying to capture.

This is one of the most three-dimensional vanilla-based fragrances I’ve encountered, delivering a dynamic evolution from start to finish. Unlike the overhyped Bianco Latte, which, while enjoyable, tends to be quite linear, Amore Caffè takes you on a journey.

Initially, the fragrance kicks off with a boozy and nutty amaretto accord that feels rich, slightly bitter, and realistic. This phase lasts for around 30 minutes to an hour.
When the amaretto melts away, it makes room for a vanilla ice cream note (reminiscent of Dolce & Gabbana’s Love is Love). This is the true "affogato moment", the creamy sweetness perfectly balanced by lingering coffee nuances.
As the fragrance settles, the vanilla takes on a deeper, warmer, and less fresh character, extending the wear time well into the 10–12 hour range.
With slightly above-average projection and long-lasting performance, Amore Caffè proves to be a strong gourmand, easily lasting throughout the day. It’s also a *no-brainer pick at discounters, offering niche-quality scent at a relatively affordable price.

For lovers of coffee and vanilla fragrances, this is a must-try. Amore Caffè isn’t just one of the best Mancera/Montale releases, it’s one of the best gourmand perfumes on the market right now.

Hives (1) vs Mancera (1)

I rarely do blind buy decants in amounts larger than 2ml because I'm cheap and I know it's hard to find something that I will use 10ml of. I broke my rule for this because Scentbird had it and I heard good things.

I am generally skeptical of Mancera as they have something in their DNA that sometimes rubs me the wrong way (and gives me a rash?!?! - more on that below) but this sounded amazing. My gamble paid off.

To me, this is the perfect coffee gourmand. It's very sweet but IMO the bitterness of the coffee makes it work. It has a toasty, caramelized quality to it. It's a pretty straightforward fragrance so I don't have much to say that hasn't already been said. If you like gourmands definitely try a sample of this. It's going to slap in the winter.

If you check my Roses Vanille Eau de Parfum review you'll see that I got a rash from spraying quite a lot of it on my skin (like 3 sprays in one spot). I did the same with this one day on my neck and got the exact same hives! I do not have sensitive skin and this is the only reaction to any cosmetic/fragrance that I've ever had. IDK what causes it but if I only spray lightly on my clothes it seems to be fine. It'll just be a sometimes fragrance. Both this and Roses Vanille are super strong anyway so 3 sprays, let alone in one spot, is overkill.

I do have this on my "Full Bottles To Buy" list. Considering that it gave me a rash, I feel like this speaks to how much I liked it. Roses Vanille did not inspire the same love in me because there are lots of jammy roses out there while Amore Caffe is unique.

Syrupy but interesting

Far, far too much unbalanced sweetness, which is a shame, because I quite like the marzipan/amaretto and coffee notes. The coffee and almond are not intense or bitter enough to provide a much needed edge to the saccharine stickiness.

Probably one of the better coffee replication scents I've tested. The coffee is distinct, the lactonic notes (which are almost always a flop in my opinion) pair surprisingly well with the almond notes, and it doesn't overstay its welcome like Follow(ed) by Kerosene. It would have been perfect if Mancera dialed down the sugary notes.

Fairly linear, which is fine, and good perfomer

A sweet, boozy, spicy and heartwarming cup of coffee

I don't always love gourmands that are too simple and realistic, so my preferred coffee fragrances are more on the perfumey side - think Black Opium and its various flankers or Montale Intense Café. Amore Caffè is much more on the literal side than these, but I surprisingly love it very much and find it quite wearable!

To me, this feels like Black Opium's gender-ambiguous older cousin. It has that delicious mixture of dark coffee and sweet, creamy vanilla, but blended with boozy, smokey, slightly spicy notes instead of the fruit and florals in Black Opium. Very warm and rich, perfect for cold days and nights. The speculoos note made me a bit suspicious that this could be one of those scents that only feel right in December, but fear not - it's only a little spicy and doesn't smell like a Christmas bakery.
Due to the amaretto note there is a touch of a cherry-almond aroma to the scent, just enough to make it feel a little juicier and not too one-dimensional.
It's not the most complex scent on earth, but definitely layered enough for me.

Edible smelling without crossing the line to gimmicky, intense like one would expect from Mancera, not a dupe of something that has been done to death - what's not to love? I'm contemplating if I should put this on my wishlist when it inevitably gets colder again, let's see if I still think about it next fall. I definitely recommend this to any coffee lover.
