What does Homme de Café smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters recommend autumn and spring, with winter a clear third; it is mentioned most for daily and leisure wear, and also suits business and evenings. It reads masculine and classic.

Bergamot and orange give the citrus freshness, clove leaf adds spice and cedarwood the woody base. Raspberry softens the sweetness slightly and musk rounds everything off. Beyond the fresh, green start, resinous, earthy and smoky tones keep it in the chypre family. Olfactive Studio Autoportrait and Mihan Aromatics Munlark Ash have a close profile.
