Paris Corner · 2023

Sweet · Synthetic · Gourmand

Paris Corner Eternal Coffee is a sweet, creamy gourmand unisex scent that softens coffee with milk and caramel.

Coffee and cocoa form the core, while milk and vanilla carry it into a creamy sweetness. Caramel and sugar deepen the sweetness, and cinnamon adds a light touch of spice. A synthetic edge runs through the accords, and the overall impression is a cup of sweet, milky coffee.
