coffee with vanilla syrup
I buy coffee in small batches, grind my own beans, and use a good drip brewer or a French press. I know I'm not a real coffee expert because I favor the slight charred edge of a dark roast, which the experts say is not the right way to treat good coffee beans. But, to me, part of the pleasure of coffee is the interplay between bitter and mellow in the beans, topped off with the creamy mild sweetness of (soy) creamer.

Perlier's Vanilla Coffee does have a good, true coffee smell that is more accurate and intense than many other scents with a coffee note. It's also quite long-lasting and affordable. Unfortunately, the coffee is swamped at times by the heavy sweet vanilla, which is similar to that used in the many Comptoir Sud Pacifique vanilla-based scents. It could really use something to break up all of that sweetness. But, if you like your coffee with a shot of vanilla syrup, you might consider this perfect!

A Little Less Sweet, Then......
Dear Precious generously sent me a bottle of Caribbean Vanilla some time ago, thank you once again for that. She knows that I would love to have "THE" coffee scent in my collection.

I prefer my coffee as a coffee crema with a little splash of milk and no sugar. Sometimes I also enjoy a classic cappuccino or a dollop of whipped cream on my coffee - but please not that ready-made stuff from the spray can, yuck. And only the scent of aromatic, hot coffee occasionally makes me crave a cigarette again. But I know, if I give in to that craving, I’ll be a smoker out of addiction and not out of enjoyment.... so I refrain. Ultimately, I love coffee even without a cigarette - and that’s a good thing.

Strong, aromatic coffee, spiced with a hint of chocolate, plenty of vanilla, and so much brown sugar that the spoon gets stuck. That’s how Caribbean Vanilla smells from start to finish. I would simply classify this fragrance as a gourmand. The longevity is quite good, the sillage rather modest. And for guys who like sweetened coffee, this scent is definitely not a bad choice. In freezing temperatures, I can well imagine wearing this scent while strolling through the Christmas market. It warms the heart and lifts the spirits. However, Caribbean Vanilla will not be "my" coffee scent. Even though I can handle sweet fragrances much better now, this one is just a tad too sweet for me. The price-performance ratio is also impressive at around 15 euros for 100 ml, what could go wrong there? I’ve had much more expensive coffee scents that were by no means better.

In conclusion, all this coffee talk reminds me of an affected ex-colleague, it’s been a long time. On her desk stood a card box, during her vacation I was looking for a phone number for her boss and hoped to find it there. I didn’t, the box only contained handwritten and alphabetically arranged names of "important" people. Phone numbers or similar were not noted, the cards were merely marked with notes like this: “...Müller, M.: strong coffee, two sugar cubes, warm milk, also happy to have a cookie without chocolate”..... etc. etc.

You can find something like this at Starbucks too
aaaaber: you can't spray it on. I managed to get it. Last week there was nothing to be found at Douglas and today! Voilà, there it was for a mere €4.95!!! Anyone who walks by is to blame.

There's not much else to say. Just vanilla and coffee. And it's so delicious. It doesn't last very long, but since this treat is so light, you can spray and spray and spray. Be careful if tea drinkers are nearby, they might wrinkle their noses.

You can use it anytime and anywhere (well, not at a gala).

I wore and loved this scent in my youth. A truly special vanilla, it's a shame it's no longer available.

Thick, delicious toffee with a hint of coffee bean and wonderful soft vanilla
For me, as a vanilla lover, it's an absolute hit.

Authentic vanilla coffee gourmand, aromatic and very sweet. A splash of milk instead of sugar would be nicer for me.
