For true baristas & coffee fanatics
For true baristas, coffee fanatics whose mood is not influenced by how bright the sun shines in the morning, but by the first sip of a luscious coffee as it flows bittersweetly down their throats.
The aroma of coffee is clearly defined by its smell.
Opening with a full-bodied, bitter chocolatey coffee aroma, the latest Jimmy Bodin (Jousset Parfums) artisan/niche composition is an unfathomably mystical creation.
The warmth of early morning sunshine glistening on terracotta permeates and elevates this smooth, envelopingly enveloping, odoriferous coffee perfume speciality beyond the Qahua Bungas.
A complex, multidimensional, aromatic caftan, it is a niche masterpiece: a light, fresh and almost floral blend of bitter roasted coffee, resins, tobacco, spices, flowers and creamy, flowing myrrh, which caresses the wearer as if it were a desert breeze.
In the first few seconds of the head scent, a dry green plant dust rises in a cloud of freshly roasted coffee, highlighting the most exciting aspect of black coffee.
It is bitter and slightly smoky, but it does not become gourmand thanks to the aromatic green herbs, but rather emphasises the organic, vegetal side of the bean.
This beautiful composition, wrapped in tobacco leaves, is almost immediately imbued with a resinous warmth that seeps out of the veins of an ancient magic box like a balsamic melange.
Its "primevalness" shows its floral side, slightly eclipsing the aromas of steaming black coffee like a magical acrobat, giving a sweet, fruity exotic radiance to the descent in which the flirtatious oil of davana plays with the chemistry of our bodies, creating a different pulsating fragrance almost every time.
The oil of davana is extracted by steam distillation from the flowers, leaves and stems of a plant native to India. Although it is highly adaptive, it's fair to call it flirty, because as soon as it comes into contact with your skin, everything changes.
Reacting with our body's own chemistry, it changes its aroma to create a unique scent known for its soothing, calming, uplifting and even balancing effects.
Like a special spicy honey, its creaminess reveals understatedly soft animal tones, with the murmur of soft nagarmotha in the background.
Sensuously delicious and soul-warming, it is a pulsatingly delicious composition, a fantastic creation of a genius, which perfectly describes the small but important ritual of life, the pleasure of drinking coffee.

A Gourmand for no-Gourmand lovers
When i first came across with this creation, i was really impressed.
This is a full journey into a resinous, caramel like, coffe with some sparkle of animalic touches, that helps the scent to keep his vibrant & rude aspect till the end. I feel this is a real sweet scent, so you have to like real sugary, coffee-bar kind of smell, even if the quality is really high. We are facing an amber, spicy cup of coffee that mantains this character for the first hour/hour and a half. Later on, you can feel a bit of the green notes coming in, but not as loud as U.M.B.R.E. likes to dive in the rich and sticky area of sweetnes. It’s kinda hard for me to pick the tobacco, even if i feel a bit of a gasoline vibe sometimes.
In the end, it’s a really pleasent perfume, i think it’s good to wear in cold & holidays time, totally unisex & for those who’s searching for something cozy, warm & enveloping.

Tobacco-Laden Coffee
Almost every Adi ale Van fragrance I've smelled has a common note; an unusual mix of animalic notes and other aromas that presents particularly for the first 20-30 minutes, fading until the unique nature can shine. U.M.B.R.E. is not a photorealistic, Starbucks latte. It's bittersweet, spicy, and resinous, leaning mature and masculine. The opening is animalic, the heart is woody and earthy, and the base is tobacco-laden. It's warm and heavy, like a weighted blanket. The end result is a mature gourmand that is enjoyable but not widely appealing like a sweeter, generic coffee fragrance might be.

No surprise, but the longevity is excellent and the projection is moderate, like most from this house. The bottle is gorgeous as well, uniquely designed and handmade, which to some extent justifies the higher price. Overall, there's better scents from Adi ale Van, but this is one to checkout for lovers of coffee scents.

Embattled coffee break
Wonderful scent from Adi Ale Van. I do "get" the artistic impression here I think. It reminds me slightly of my time in the army as a quite young conscript during outdoors manouvers, and blends the impressions of metal, coffee, chocolate and wildlife very well at times. Wow.

The opening should thrill most people who are into coffee and tobacco scents. Top notes are very naturalistic, not to sweet and quite spicy. For my personal taste, I get too much Starbucks vibe of syrup flavourings, but I know this will be very pleasing for many people. Slightly animalic top notes are there too, and they blend surprisingly well into the overall scent impression. That is very well done, I would otherwise consider that two incompatible categories.
After a while I get the green undertones and 1-2 hours after application is the best part on my skin. Unfortunately some extraits are an either-or to me, and this one fades surprisingly fast. But that will not be the case for everyone. I tried it on paper too where it smells solid for 12-18 hours, outperforming other samples I know perform well on me. So if this perfume fits your skin type it could be perfect for you. It is pricey if you can find it, but if you are into this style do not hesitate a moment to seek it out.

Dark Mystery
Moving shadows dance on a wall of mystery. Dark resins intersect with flashes of warm light. The name "Umbre," meaning "shadows" in Romanian, perfectly encapsulates the philosophy behind its composition: a fragrance that embodies darkness yet radiates warmth unexpectedly.

The perfume opens with a hint of Davana, a fruity, herbaceous note that leans toward bitterness, complemented by a subtle animalic touch that adds a warm, leathery sensation—expressed not in shouts but in whispers. This initial impression may be surprising to unaccustomed noses, but it quickly evolves into a captivating balance as coffee and tobacco take centre stage.

At the heart of the fragrance, benzoin melts into its smooth, balsamic sweetness, softening the sharp edges. At the same time, cypriol—a root with an earthy, woody aroma—introduces an elegant dryness reminiscent of aged leather. Here, coffee reveals itself in its finest form: neither sugary nor creamy, but rather dark roasted, exuding a noble bitterness that enhances the fragrance and steers it away from any hint of vulgarity.

As the scent descends toward the base, dried tobacco with a honeyed character settles in, mingling with ancient bitter resin. This combination creates an ambience of warm depth, evoking long nights in an old wooden library where smoke, warmth, and incense embrace you.

The result is an aromatic painting of clarity and darkness, known in Italian as "Chiaroscuro," where shadow clashes with light, bitterness intertwines with sweetness, and leather merges with resin.

The perfume's performance is characteristic of an Extrait de Parfum concentration (32%): it boasts long-lasting persistence, exceeding eight hours on the skin and even longer on clothing, with a moderate projection that transitions into a close, warm aura after the first hours.

This exquisite evening perfume is well-suited for the autumn and winter months, special occasions, or luxurious soirées. While it may not be a safe choice for everyone, it serves as a bold artistic signature for lovers of tobacco, coffee, and resins.

The bottle is a limited edition, priced initially around 250 euros for 50 ml, and it often sells out quickly, enhancing its value as a collectable piece rather than just a spray perfume.

In the end, U.M.B.R.E. is not merely a scent; it is a complete experience: shadows dancing on your skin, narrating a story of warmth and depth, and leaving an unforgettable mark on those who dare to embrace its darkness.
