Ahhhh…CAWFEE.
One would think that the Combo Clown [or the Amber Queen, if you prefer] is java-dependent, judging by my recent aromatic blatherings.
Not so.
While I adore a well-brewed LARGE cup of Mr. B’s most excellent elixir in the a.m., I’m not one to repeat the ritual unless it’s celebratory-
Meeting up with old [or new] friends, entertaining guests, or traveling.
I must be one of the few nurses in existence who has NEVER been spotted sipping the stuff on duty.
Ever.
It’s a fact.
Still, there’s no denying coffee’s irresistible olfactory allure.
And when you get yourself a hunky amber to layer it with-
Well, why not?
Let’s get snuggly and mix it up.
Café Noir notes:
Black coffee bean, allspice berries, cardamom, French lavender, attar of roses, cedar, patchouli, vanilla, mocha, sandalwood, Siam benzoin, and ambrette seeds.
Café Noir loves ambers dearly; while it’s perfectly beautiful and balanced all by itself, it welcomes company.
Pair it up with Ambre Foncé, and you substantially increase the longevity of this already long-lasting parfum.
Ambre Foncé is darkly,deeply vanillic and it cushions the spicy coffee note-
Spicy black coffee, with very little sugar to speak of.
Do you prefer a chai-like sweetness with your coffee?
Wearable Coffee á la Masala?
Then grab Ambra Tibet and layer away.
You’ve cocooned yourself in vanillic cardamom coffee, complete with subtle animalic notes.
This baby will linger longer and envelop you in java joy.
I guarantee it.
Some prefer honey with their coffee; Ambre d’Or possesses a velvety, tobacco-y honeyed timbre.
This is a very thick Tunisian amber, and when combined with Café Noir, more complex aspects of the fragrance begin to surface.
Not as sweet as you’d expect.
Yet one more satisfying way to get a blissful groove on.
Too much of a good thing?
PLEASE.
You’re talking to the wrong person, honey.
Perfume is my drug-of-choice.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it !
I’d like to share this experience with one dear reader.
I’ll put aside four little vials:
Ambra Tibet
Ambre D’Or
Ambre Foncé
Café Noir
And you can play as it pleases you 😉
My pleasure.
As you wish…
