Glitter and Be Gay
Prior to testing Café, I happened to generously pour a vintage Opium over my whole hand; I should've removed the cap very carefully and quietly, especially when it was a splash bottle apparently filled to the brim. A literally eye-opening experience... whatever meagre amount of caffeine the Black flanker claims to contain, the original was worthier to be named "café" or rather "espresso (doppio)" instead, judging by the effect it had on my mind.
Despite many people likening it to Opium, Café Café for me does not show much resemblance albeit from the same category. My first and foremost association was Christmas: Spicy and warm, a carnelian with golden glitters if I were to ascribe a certain colour. Also of Glühwein, the hot mulled wine offered at Christmas markets without its sweetness and alcohol.
Café has a strong floral note with an herbal accent that adds a somewhat old-fashioned touch - otherwise, it could be quite unisex due to the lack of sugar, and certainly 'out of time' in the current olfactory scenery. I did not perceive the patchouli nor anything else that would ground the fragrance, and hence, it appears to me light and weightless like a skeleton sketch of a house, with enough room for the air to breeze through.
Café is an airy and spicy, non-musky floriental with a retro flair and might suit people who are looking for a (rarer) lightweight from this category that could be compatible for daily use, even at the workplace.
