Coffee Addict Theodoros Kalotinis 2021

... coffee. What was I disappointed by fragrances like Follow, Uomo Signature or even Intense Cafe, I had hoped to sniff that incomparable aroma of freshly squeezed cappuccino from the Cimbali. Nope, that was somehow all nothing. Then an inconspicuous sample arrived at my place, a random addition to a fragrance ersouted here (thanks again to good Auriel). I had never heard of Theodoros Kalotinis and thought to myself: oh well, another wannabe cafe... yawn! But what then blew my nose and immediately forced me to order directly from the perfumer, which I will now try to describe here, with my modest means admittedly:

The fragrance:

One word - dreamlike. Sweet latte with a caramel aroma increasing in the course, the ollen Rolo of Nestlé (yes, I know, bad company!) Not dissimilar. If you'd like to imagine what Coffee Addict smells like, make yourself a sugared cappuccino, dissolve a toffee or similar in it, drink the cup empty and then sniff it. Exactly so smells this masterpiece.

Note: Smooth 10

Its features:

The fragrance has a solid performance to show. He holds with me 6-8 hours on the skin and projects thereby the first two, three hours clearly. After that, increasingly close to the skin, but stable. No beast, but still very decent.

Score: 8/10

Other:

Bottle and presentation are below average, but okay. The spray head is good, the lid fits. Okay, maybe the label is not perfectly straight glued on, but such a thing should also occur with completely different brands (gelle, Mr. Ford? *Cough*).

Important detail: the perfumer is based in Greece, and I have found no source of supply other than the homepage of Kalotinis itself. The fragrance is surprisingly cheap at €45 for 50ml, even if orders under one hundred euros from other European countries have 20€ shipping costs. So a collective order would be worthwhile here, and I'm fully aware that I've just volunteered to be the organizer. By the way, a freely compilable, five-piece get-to-know set costs a moderate 25€. Could be worthwhile.

Conclusion:

I have finally found the fragrance that quenches my olfactory coffee thirst, it is sweet, gourmandig, convincing and cheap. What more could you want? Exactly! Thank you.
