Nuanced spicy coffee scent, quite unique
My second sampling of Day Three Fragrances is La Tacita de Café, an Art + Olfaction Award winner from 2023. It’s a spicy, sugary, hearty blend that, to me, smells mostly like a mix of coffee, caramel, rum, and a bit of tobacco, though tobacco is not part of the note lists. It’s idiosyncratic, multifaceted blend that defies a simple summary, though, with an interesting blend of spices that play against the sweeter gourmand elements. It’s sharp and heady, also, not wading into the sumptuous, overly sweet gourmand territory, but rather something more nuanced and blended, with a lot of density but some bright, uplifting citric aspects, also. It really has a lot going on and, at least for me, requires some thorough examination.
La Tacita de Café is extrait concentration and is priced at $225/130/35 for 100/50/10ml, sold through the house website, and it performs well. Overall, I quite like it, but just not as much as Ambar Dominicano, though I’m looking forward to try the rest of the line as well.
7 out of 10
