How it behaves in a formula
Across this library, Coffee appears 1 time as a top note, 1 time in the heart and 0 times in the base. Placement is the single best predictor of what you will actually smell: top-note materials are high-volatility and gone within the hour, base-note materials are fixatives that define the final and longest phase of the wear.
Compositions containing Coffee in this library average 11.5 hours of documented longevity, and skew toward autumn and winter wear. Treat that as a tendency of the gourmand family rather than a property of the material alone — dose, supporting accord and concentration all move the result.

Carolina Herrera
Good Girl
Amber Floral · Women
Created by Louise Turner in 2016 and housed in an iconic stiletto heel bottle, Good Girl plays on the duality of modern femininity through the concept of 'it's so good to be bad'. The fragrance opens with a rich, inviting collision of dark roasted coffee beans and nutty bitter almond, cut through with a flash of bright citrus. The heart presents a lush, narcotic floral trio of sweet tuberose, exotic jasmine sambac, and orange blossom. The dark, decadent dry-down melts into a rich gourmand base of warm tonka bean, sweet cacao, vanilla, and praline. It offers a magnetic, high-contrast signature that is bold, confident, and perfectly tailored for evening social settings.
Nasomatto
Black Afgano
Woody Aromatic · Unisex
Formulated by Alessandro Gualtieri in 2009, Black Afgano is an infamous niche masterpiece designed to evoke the best quality hashish and uninhibited bliss. The fragrance opens with a heavy, earthy green cloud of dry cannabis and leafy notes. The dark, resinous heart features rich coffee, tobacco, and thick wood resins. The impenetrable foundation rests on intense smoky oud and church incense. It is an uncompromising, ultra-dark, and hypnotic scent of monumental power.
