It feels close to a designer, to me, without much innovation but very easily wearable and passably pleasant, performing decently well.Ĭoffee Break is sold at Nordstrom in the US at $130 for 100ml and is EDT concentration. Its pricing is reasonable in the current climate, a bit pricier than many designers but cheaper than more niche or exclusive options. It's a modest showcase of lavender, not likely to offend the floral-averse, and certainly not likely turn off those typically opposed to coffee-heavy fragrances since the use of coffee is fairly modest. Misleading name notwithstanding, Coffee Break is a decent fragrance, and its main asset is that it's agreeable. There are also hints of spices, woods, and flowers, maybe a bit of a nutmeg vibe, but I don't get much, specifically. As many have noted, however, it's not a particularly coffee-rich fragrance but rather, coffee is one component of many that make up Coffee Break, of which lavender is the biggest standout. It’s got a touch more caramel than the By the Fireplace, so it’s great for summer outings though it’s robust enough to stand up to winter, too.Maison Margiela Replica Coffee Break, the 2019 release, certainly has a name that caught my eye some months ago, and it's an offering that I was very interested in trying, given my affinity for coffee in fragrance. It’s got a smoky and sweet thing happening, and that combo is a favorite of mine, so I’d go for this scent more often than not. I would like to know if the coffee notes are strong because it’s new and if it gets better with time. I ended up buying it but once I tried it at home I could mostly smell the coffee and it was very strong.
I get a little more of the citrus shining through, though I can also pick up the softness of the vanilla and the richness of the vetiver. I sampled this perfume in a store and I fell in love with it as I could smell the lavender in it and delicate coffee notes. Sean’s review: On Rashna, the coffee is more pronounced, and it hews muskier than it does on me. It’s got a desert quality it’s sweet, but not overly so. On you, it smells like something I want to nuzzle up all day. It’s elegant, mature, and complex it’s something I’d wear to meet your family. It has a strong enough scent that it lasts all day and wears into something more subtle, albeit still decadent, as the hours pass. I find myself sniffing my wrist a lot during the day, and then wanting a latte.
On myself, I really get a strong caramel undertone and that’s delicious. Rashna’s review: “It’s rich and deep and I’m here for that.
With base notes of vanilla absolute and vetiver mingling with tonka bean absolute, pepper essence and patchouli prisma, the scent’s meant to remind you of nestling into a warm cup of coffee in a quaint coffee shop on a icy winter afternoon. Unisex - Maison Margiela dropped Coffee Break in late 2019. I’ll indeed wear it on opposite days or occasions from By the Fireplace. There’s a hint of musk which allows it from veering too far into feminine territory. It’s very clean smelling, but it doesn’t fall victim to employing overwhelming citrus notes to get your nose there. On me, the scent starts strong with baby powder and soap and wears well, with the powder fading and leaving the soap. I’m slotting it in third place only because I’m drawn to richer, more complicated fragrances more than clean ones, but I do love a clean scent and this delivers. It’s a great alternative to-and opposite from-By the Fireplace.” I’d wear it when getting dressed up for a summer soiree. It’s refreshing so it’d be great for summer, but it could also work as a transitional scent in the spring or even fall. It comes on stronger on me than you and I get the soap and cleanliness aroma the most.
Rashna’s review: “Ah, this is light and airy really easy on the nose. Anchored by coconut, patchouli, and white musk base notes, lavender, jasmine, and soap bubble accord round out the middle and top notes. It’s meant to emulate a prolonged soak in a relaxing sea of bubbles. Unisex - One of the more recent additions to the Replica family, Bubble Bath debuted in 2020.
