Burnt Caramel

As a someone that is used to drinking my coffee pitch black, no cream or sugars I have to say that this one is actually kind of close. Though, I have to say, it is way too much sugar, burnt sugar, almost to a caramel like quality.

The coffee scent itself is also a bit burned? This next sentence is probably most relatable to those of you that have experience with barista machines, but it is like you have had an espresso shot too long in the bayonet and it has burned and now is stuck in the machine.

The first couple of hours it stays like this, with the strong coffee/burnt sugar smell. In the drydown it fortunately gets more mellow more like a sweet (but still strong) caramel, or maybe like a burnt cotton candy. My mother commented that it smelled a bit like a wooden fire that is lit with wet logs, but personally I never get anything woody? Just a really strong sweet scent, now with just a hint of coffee.

In my search for a true black coffee scent I will continue searching, but I appriciate that this is not lactonic in any way!

Sweet caramel espresso

I'm exploring coffee fragrances so I sampled this cause I was curious and, this was not what I was looking for but I like it! Smells like over-sweetened caramel espresso, which I am not fond of Espresso with sugar (tastes weird) but the smell is divine! I recommend this if you are looking for a sweet sugar smell, but if you just enjoy the smell of black coffee then def skip this one.

True Coffee

Ordered this as I am in a coffee and chocolate phase of fragrances, and this little one is fire! True male scent even though its unisex. I will be purchasing another soon.

Not synthetic; fresh brewed dark burnt coffee; elegant.

"Light blond roast" with salted caramel drizzle

This fragrance is primarily three things to my nose:
- photo-realistic coffee (80%)
- salted caramel (15%)
- a hint of unsweetened heavy cream (5%)

Coffee is one of my favorite notes, but can sometimes swing too far into the roasted/"burnt" category to me. Thankfully, the coffee here is like a cup of a very smooth, light blond roast - not so roasted that the fragrance smells bitter, but still enough coffee to feel rich and cozy. Everything you love about coffee, without the heaviness.

The salted caramel drizzle is so perfect - it almost has the warmth and depth of butterscotch, but the saltiness keeps it light. It is not at all "tooth-achingly sweet" like some caramels are - just the right amount of sweetness, to balance the thickness of the coffee.

And lastly, there is just a small touch of unsweetened heavy cream to round it out - the perfect counterpart to keep the coffee from becoming overwhelming.

The entire combination feels decadent and I can't wait to wear it in autumn. This truly deserves the hype - in my top favorite coffee fragrances of all time!

A superlative coffee fragrance that lives up to its reputation

Coffee Addict by Theodoros Kalotinis is the scent from the Greek perfumer/house that has definitely generated the most buzz, at least that I’ve seen, as we’re seemingly in a time where gourmands, broadly, and coffee-rich fragrances, are abundant, and this one continually shows up as a favorite of many on the internet.

And I have to agree that it’s quite outstanding, a blend that incorporates the lighter, sweeter, creamier elements as well as the darker, roasted aspects of coffee. It does not quite have the same extremes as Kerosene Follow, which I generally regard as the niche standard for coffee, and probably lands slightly sweeter overall, while being lighter, so I could see this working well for those that regard Follow to be a bit heavy handed, but it’s nonetheless similarly successful in providing a well-blended experience that’s clearly carefully executed with nice ingredients. It’s fitting that Coffee Addict is so beloved and I really like it as well.

It does not perform quite as strongly as some of the superlative coffee fragrances (the aforementioned Follow and Sebastiane Espresso Royale being a couple of examples) but its performance is still very good, and the price is hard to beat, at 45 euros for 50ml. The solitary point of sale seems to be the house website, however.
