Parfums Café Cafe Black Label is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2010. Cafe Black Label opens with Red Apple, Cognac, and Orange, settles into a heart of Floral Notes and Virginia Cedarwood, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Amber, and Licorice. Parfums Café's Cafe Black Label carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Cafe Black Label is a divisive but intriguing 'cheapie'. Expect a boozy, woody, sweet ride that leans unisex despite its 'for men' label. It's unique for its price point but don't expect a powerhouse performance.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate projection and warm, sweet character make it suitable for dates and casual wear, especially in cooler weather. It's a bit too distinctive and boozy for formal settings, and its warmth might be too much for the office unless applied very lightly. It's certainly not a sport fragrance.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a boozy splash of cognac mingled with juicy red apple and a hint of bright orange. This fruity, spirited introduction mellows into a heart where clean Virginia cedarwood provides a woody backbone, subtly intertwined with delicate floral notes. The dry down is warm and enveloping, with rich amber, dark woods, and an unusual, creamy licorice adding a distinctive gourmand-like sweetness that some perceive as buttery or nutty.
