Which Should You Buy?
Café Cabanel isn't the coffee bomb its name suggests, but it's a divisive gourmand that swings from 'creamy masterpiece' to 'synthetic horror'. It's refined and luxurious for many, but some find it too spicy or artificial, leaning into grandma territory for the uninitiated.
This is a serious gourmand with beast-mode performance, a sweet and spicy vanilla bomb that manages to be both refined and outrageously long-lasting. If you're after compliments and a scent that announces your arrival, Monarque is your weapon of choice.
