Sweet coffee blend that has a good balance of influences
Starting my sampling of the house of Strangers Parfumerie, by Prin Lomros (of Pryn Parfum and other projects), with the fragrance I saw that first caught my eye, Caffeine Honey, one of the house’s more recent releases, one of several that seems to explicitly reference coffee, one of my favorite notes in fragrance.
Fittingly, there is a sweet, honeyed aspect blended with coffee, but there’s definitely some spice and intrigue—surely some tobacco, a little cognac, perhaps some of the suggested popcorn note, with its bit of butter and salt. It’s really an enjoyable mostly-gourmand ensemble that excels at not overwhelming in any one aspect—the sweet, the salty, the boozy, the tobacco, nor even the coffee itself, which is a bit more prominent in the opening than the dry down but remains part of an interesting mix throughout. I certainly recommend that fans of gourmands, coffee, and honey fragrances look into this, and I’ll have to put some thought into nabbing a bottle, as it seems to perform pretty well.
Available in EDP concentration for the price of $80 for 30ml, it is sold in the US via Luckyscent, seemingly with the entire line of fragrances dating back to 2017. Some of the house’s other offerings are sold in Canada via Indiescents.
