Parfums Café

Parfums Café is a French fragrance brand introduced in 1978, when the women's perfume Café was launched with a composition by perfumer Jean-Jacques Diener. The brand is built around a coffee and café-life theme, reflected both in its naming and in recurring coffee notes across several releases. Early hits such as Café (1978) and Homme de Café (also 1978, created by Alberto Morillas) helped define its identity in the late 1970s and 1980s.

The brand later expanded into flankers and spin-off lines including Café-Café pour Femme and Café-Café pour Homme (mid-1990s launches cited in retailer listings), as well as themed variants like Café Green, Café Black Label, Café Gold Label, Caféina and Caféina pour Homme, and more recent entries such as Café Intenso and Café Intenso Rose. According to Parfumo and Fragrantica, its perfumes have been created with a broad roster of perfumers including Jean-Jacques Diener, Arturetto Landi, Alberto Morillas, Mark Buxton, Antoine Lie, Thomas Fontaine, Julie Massé, Raphael Haury and Henri Bergia.

Distribution and brand ownership have shifted over time. A current brand page on Cofinluxe presents Café as one of its lines, and reviewers and vendors note that fragrances originally labeled as Parfums Café or Café Parfums are now produced under Cofinluxe Paris. The collection today covers feminine, masculine and unisex offerings, mainly in the affordable segment and widely sold through discounters and online retailers rather than prestige department stores.
