Our cafe perfume layering note is a smooth blend of medium and dark roasted coffee beans - warm, nutty, toasty, and inviting with subtle hints of spices and Bourbon vanilla beans. It will soften and enrich anything with which it's layered, adding a cozy, approachable aspect. It makes a delicious standalone scent for coffee lovers. Best layered over: Medium and dark ambers, spices, gourmands, cashmere, woods, patchoulis, resins, incenses, vanilla, and tonka. Adds a warm autumnal ambiance. Best for fixing: Perfumes that are too linear, bitter, dry, or generic. Resinous or amber perfumes that have gotten boring. Gourmands or vanilla perfumes that need a lift. Layering notes let you shift and alter your scents to match your mood or the seasons, to take advantage of subtle skin chemistry changes, or to dabble with the olfactory arts of niche perfumery. Layering notes are also an easy way to customize your favorite scents and make them uniquely and unforgettably yours.... or can help rekindle a romance with perfume you once loved but are getting a little bored with. The simplicity and uncomplicated linear qualities of single notes are distinctive in and of themselves for stand alone. Art: Self Portrait Drinking Coffee by Mihiri Rassim, c. 1918
