Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Looks good without trying too hard.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

ResinousWhat does Cafe Diem smell like?
Coffee and vanilla set a sweet, smoky base, while cinnamon, cardamom and clove add a spicy warmth. Jasmine, rose and mimosa absolute bring the floral side, and cedar and vetiver the woody, earthy one. Amber and frankincense give it a resinous depth.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so treat this as a rough guide. It sits comfortably on both men and women.
