Spiced Coffee & Oaked Vanilla

Spiced Coffee & Oaked Vanilla captures a cappuccino in a bottle: the sweet warmth and lingering depth on one side, the complexity of coffee on the other. It opens with pink pepper, orange blossom and crisp pear. The heart is a modern blend of dark, rich coffee and jasmine. The base is vanilla aged in oak with patchouli and cedar, which the house describes as an elegant, sophisticated finish, with Arabian spices and aged oak running through the story. There are no community votes or written community reviews for this one, so its reputation rests on a few sampler-box writers, and they are fond of it. One calls it the favourite of all the minis tested, with a luxurious, creamy texture. Another expected to dislike it, because vanilla scents are usually too sweet for them, and was won over. A third counts it among the favourites for winter wear. Nobody comments on how long it lasts, so treat the all-day claim as untested. It is a warm, cosy scent for autumn and winter, evenings and dates, and relaxed days when you want something comforting. Choose it if you like coffee and vanilla in a perfume and want a little pepper and white flower alongside. It is made by hand in the UK by a small London house.
