I only drink espresso, I like my coffee dark and strong

dark roasted coffee beans, some beans are burnt,
heavy oily moist ebony, when trying to dry it, it got slightly scorched in places,
in the potpourri, the tobacco dries the other ingredients that can't manage on their own,
it absorbs moisture, becoming slightly oily itself, but has a balancing effect,
vanilla also tries to smooth things over, but thus remains in the background for now,
oud serves as a base to hold its companions together,
but gives them the freedom to play,
coffee is clearly the eccentric of the group, everyone dances around it

you really have to like coffee, and here especially not the creamy soft milk coffee,
but dark roasted beans,
it initially comes across as somewhat disharmonious and slightly musty due to the stubborn coffee,
almost as if the beans were delivered in a damp, stained jute sack,
but since coffee is the namesake, one should know what they are getting into
and give it space
after the beans are out of the sack and everything has aired out a bit,
it becomes more conciliatory, but remains dark, slightly smoky, roasted to the point of being burnt,
somewhere between moist and dry, most reminiscent of tropical warmth
later it becomes quite orderly and lets the others join in
in the drydown, it first turns into a cup of cold, stale coffee,
which then gets warmed up again by the vanilla and tobacco,
the oud connects and smooths them out, but keeps everything dark

a beautiful, truly niche coffee scent that I will surely wear more often,
even if it is not quite as harmoniously balanced as my previous holy grail,
when it comes to coffee scents, which I found in origins of the collector by memoirs of a perfume collector.
but if you like it a bit wilder, then you reach for javanese coffee, cheers!

Nice comment; I also think there are good ideas, but they aren't balanced enough.

Thank you ^^ Yes, the beans are unfortunately roasted too long... smoky would be nice, but they’re a bit burnt and musty... I do enjoy wearing it sometimes, but I really have to be in the mood for it ☺️

Beautifully described.
Yes, it does come off as musty and unharmonious. "Burnt fats" fits very well too. For me, it's really not enjoyable.

I'm sure I would really like it. It's no coincidence it's already on the ML..
