coffee

Coffee is an intriguing ingredient in the world of perfumery. Despite not being commonly used, it offers a unique and diverse range of smells, adding depth and warmth to fragrances. Typically found in masculine compositions alongside tobacco and woody notes, coffee can also be used in floral scents to bring an added dimension to the fragrance. Its strong and spicy aroma is a perfect match for aromatic and green fragrances.

When used in perfumes, coffee reveals multiple olfactory facets. Its aroma can be described similarly to slightly over-roasted coffee beans at first, but it then evolves into a sweeter, vanilla liqueur and tonka bean undertone that mimics that of freshly brewed coffee. These combinations create a formal profile that is perfect for people who enjoy earthy, complex scents.

Despite not being as popular as other perfume ingredients, coffee is one to watch out for. Its versatility and unique fragrance profile make it a perfect addition to any perfume collection. From masculine compositions to floral fragrances, coffee adds a touch of warmth and depth to any scent.
