What does Manie du Café smell like?

Castoreum and vanilla lead, then hyraceum, tonka bean and cedarwood settle into a creamy, resinous, earthy heart. Siberian deer musk and coffee form the base. Spicy, smoky and leathery touches temper the sweetness and keep the scent serious.

Longevity is rated as good, though only a few people have voted, so treat that as a rough guide. Its dense, warm build suits cooler weather best. It leans neither masculine nor feminine and sits comfortably on anyone. G Parfums Young Hunter and Stéphane Humbert Lucas Ô Hira have a close profile.
