This fragrance smells EXACTLY how it should!… worked wonderful in my cp goats milk soap and as of 3 days curing, the scent has stayed beautifully!
LOVE THIS one. It's a lighter coffee fragrance compared to most but it is so so nice. You can really smell the cream and it's perfect. I use it in candles and wax melts.
Out of bottle I loved this fragrance oil but once I made a candle with it, the scent was very weak at a 10% even after curing, I really wanted to love it but it's not as strong as I was expecting. I will keep it and maybe blend with something in the future.
Smells so good!!! I love it . A true coffee snd light cream smell. Not sweet just coffee
This was my first time ordering. I got this and another fragrance. Just everything was amazing about the purchase. I received the package fast. Nothing was damaged. I loved the personal touches the added with the notes and instructions. AND BOTH SMELLED AMAZING. It pulled through on each item I made from it . I will absolutely order again.
This smells like the real thing
This is the perfect mix of coffee and sweetness. We already had Espresso, so I was reluctant to add another coffee scent. I am so glad we did. It's now one of our top 5 sellers in wax melts and we are testing in candle (per multiple customer requests).
Really love this fragrance, its a delicious scent in my body butter, and room sprays. Next will be adding this fragrance in sugar scrubs. Great scent for coffee lovers.
Coffee was one of my most requested fall scents so I tried to find a fragrance that had subtle coffee hints without being overpowering. This one fits the bill perfectly. I am going to add a bit of pumpkin to create a pumpkin spice latte scent for the fall and then a bit of peppermint chocolate for a fun peppermint mocha for Christmas.
This smells just like coffee with cream. To me this is just like a cup of fresh coffee with some milk added in, not like a steamed milk scent from a latte or cappuccino. The milk notes aren't particularly sweet, so don't expect a super sweet coffee scent, but this one was just what I was looking for. Haven't burned the candles yet so can't attest to hot throw, but the cold throw is strong and present.
Love this fragrance
Smells like the perfect latte. Definitely coffee and cream. I already use the espresso FO from MWFC, and love it. This is perfect for my latte lovers. Used it in a travel diffuser, now my SUV has the perfect coffee shop scent.
Truely a perfect coffee blend that just so comforting
I love ❤️ this smell! I love anything coffee ☕️! I'm using this with another FO. It smells good on it own. I using it in the Makers Blend from Midwest.
First, I recommend you put this in product. I got a completely different scent profile once it was in wax. It was smooth, creamy, sweet coffee. It has incredible hot throw in wax (I tested in MB150) and I haven't decided whether or not to blend it or not because its so good on its own!
This one smells like popcorn to me with dark coffee. It’s just not for me. Espresso is my FAVE and dark roast is second. Definitely try those.
I don't know what's going on with this updated sight. But it's making it impossible to leave a review. The sight keeps flashing back & forth. This is my 3rd time trying to leave a review. I always leave reviews but I don't like this. As for the scent. I gave it away! It smells like black coffee. No cream. No Carmel smell. It needs a little work. It could be an amazing scent. But not like it is. You have customers that have been with you for years. We are transparent. Just like you guys. I just don't like this one, as it is
The best coffee fragrance i have found. Smells amazing!
to me, it doesn't smell like coffee at all. it smells more like caramel kettle corn and i'm not mad about it. its smell wonderful! if this was marketed as such i feel like it would fit the scent more. gave it a four out of five because it smells wonderful but is definitely not coffee.
All I smell is buttery popcorn 🤷
