I'm afraid I had to learn a dear lesson here. Cafe Vert was offered at a 40% discount at a closing down sale. I had been looking for a nice coffee scent for a while. I love coffee, it evokes so many positive emotions; that captured in a scent would be bliss without suffering the cafeine blows all day. So I was greedy and I thought the name of the house would guarantee high quality without doubt. I did test it on paper, but honestly just sniffed hastily. The wish to finally stumble upon my beloved coffee fragrance outweighed my ability to have an open mind about it. Tested it for real in the evening and just now, maybe I'll test it more often later, see wether it layers well with a woody/spicy base, to give it the depth and warmth it so sadly lacks. Ah there's the same urge surfacing again, my reluctance to just say: it's a big disappointment, and to you all: save your money (even offered at a discount, it's still expensive), move on, looking for the real thing...
This one, on it's own, is a green, slightly sweetish scent, with a hint of coffee woven in, a room scent posing a a perfume. If it were a real perfume it should be listed as unisex IMO.
I bought Cafè Vert in Osmo Absolu version that is an oily perfume. It stays very close and sofly caresses the skyn when the body warms up. I find it so elegant and subtle and mix it with other fragrances.
Very green, sharp and synthetic.
Another big disappointment from Il Profvmo.
Persistent green-citrus-geranium accord on the bitter coffee base, which shows up in the middle notes.
Big staying power of 8+ hours.
Next, please.
This smells like a mix between Yon-ka and Aveda Kinetics skin tonic mist. I get plenty of geranium. Nothing sweet and nothing candy on me...Ah the mystery of skin chemistry and our nose. I find this very pleasant but not bottle worthy.
If coffee (prepared drink) would grow on a palm like coconuts, it would smell like this Cafe Vert. You remember The Chronicles of Narnia? In The Magician's Nephew kids planted candy and when they woke up there was a candy tree. Candy from tree were juicy version of original.
That's with this Coffee- it's very sweet and syrup like. Not my thing, maybe this is more for cold day.
