French Café

Based on your responses to our LavenderandSpice.com Quiz, you are most likely to find a fragrance that matches your personality and desires from the rich, yet dry roasted aromas of coffee, chocolate and nuts with spiced, aromatic, tobacco, floral, and woody accents.

What is French Café

The Dry Gourmand category evolved in the last decade from a sweeter gourmand tradition of vanilla, caramel, chocolate, nuts, red fruits, honey, and other edible notes. These perfumes in turn came out of a longer tradition of amber (labdanum, benzoin, vanilla) and spice (formerly “Oriental) scents with clear culinary applications. Think cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, saffron, etc.

We expect this dry gourmand category, the French Cafe, to grow rapidly during the 20’s.

Why French Café is the Scent for You

Aries, the ram, fire sign, sun exalted, burning hot seeking inspiration, excitement, and leadership. Coffee is your god and the café your sacred space.

The scents of the dry gourmand have many meanings, from the mental acuity needed for an expectations setting third date, to a relaxed, intimate meeting, to the fuel for an intense adventure. Find the darkest, flourless chocolate cake, the most intense liqueur, or a savory waffle and you will find someone wearing French Café.

Seeking meaning without filler, you are equally attracted to Petra, Jordan, and the Grand Tour of Europe, perhaps aware of the colonial relationship to coffee, tea, and chocolate.

Happy is the richness of a fall pumpkin soup, toasted pumpkin seeds piquing your interest, and, of course, the perfectly balanced espresso with a soda water back. Sexy smells like dark chocolate or a cigarette, maybe both.
