What does Café Gourmand smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters pick it most for nights out and evenings, with leisure time close behind. Being unisex, it suits anyone who likes warm, dense fragrances.

The top carries milk and saffron: the milk sets a creamy ground while the saffron adds a spicy edge. In the heart, hazelnut and Arabica coffee give a sweet, roasted feel, and patchouli ties it to the earth. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, moss and cade juniper dries down woody and slightly smoky. A floral side runs through the accords as well.
