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.
Oh, that sounds very much like Mr. Sensi, because he can pull off the sweetest scents like nobody else! I don't know anyone else who can wear such sweet fragrances without them coming off as sticky. (Songes is dreamy on him!) So, where can you test the scent, or is it really discontinued? Anyway, I've got you on my watchlist and coffee with cream but no sugar for you! ;)
I always drink my coffee plain black, and my previous coffee scent is "Café Chantant"... mmm, delicious! I think I can't appreciate anything too sweet anymore, but I really like your comment!
Coffee, steaming in the cup, lovely! Coffee beans, freshly ground, lovely! As a perfume... uuuah. No. Better not. Especially not with sugar. Coffee should always be hot, black, and strong :-))
For me, please: strong, sugar only if nothing sweet is eaten with it, otherwise with milk to light brown. Or just a tea (strong, without sugar, with milk, or if it's Earl Grey, just 2 pieces of sugar, no milk). But delicious, your comment :-D
Recently, out of sheer frustration at work, I got a vanilla coffee from the machine and was surprised at how good it tasted. However, I'm still skeptical about whether I would like the scent.
Haha, there we have the next coffee scent. This time from you and just as affordable. ;) At least the price-performance ratio is truly sensational and worth a try.
Yes, I also thought your Caribbean vanilla coffee was quite nice; I have no idea where to buy it... But when it comes to the "real coffee scent," I'm still keeping my nose open with you! Golden little bean here, *curtsy*...
Sounds good! I haven't found that coffee scent yet, unfortunately. Only in the Yves Rocher shower gel. My ideal coffee is espresso with a little sugar ^^. Coffee pot for you.
I think that one would be too sweet for me as well. So far, the only coffee scent I've really liked is Cafe Vert. The search for THE coffee scent continues.
As a perfume... uuuah. No. Better not. Especially not with sugar. Coffee should always be hot, black, and strong :-))
