What does Coffee Bomb smell like?

Cardamom, black pepper, coffee CO2 and milk lead the top, with saffron adding warmth. In the heart, jasmine, heliotrope, iris and rose soften it into a powdery floral. The base deepens the sweetness with vanilla, cocoa, tonka bean and sandalwood, while leather and frankincense leave a smoky trace.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind; it is chosen mostly for leisure and daily wear, and evenings suit it too. Votes for feminine and masculine are close, so it sits comfortably between the two.
