How does Maison Asrar Coffee Blend smell?
Picture a milky coffee with almond syrup. Sweet almond, milk and coffee in the top suggest a creamy, roasted, nutty opening, which is exactly the drink you just pictured, translated into notes and sweetened from the very start. The heart adds some contrast: a white flower gives a soft floral lift, amber adds resinous warmth, and liquorice brings a dark, slightly herbal sweetness, which stops the creaminess from going flat.
Thick and sweet, the base is musk, caramel, nut and vanilla. Caramel and vanilla are the dessert notes, nut (unspecified in the list) adds a toasted, buttery quality, and musk smooths the edges into something soft and skin-like. This reads as a gourmand through and through: warm, milky, sweet and roasted, with the white flower and liquorice as the only things pulling away from pure dessert.
What Maison Asrar's own page says about Coffee Blend
Maison Asrar's product page for Coffee Blend gives its family as gourmand and sweet.
It also puts words of its own on three of the notes: amber (warm, deep, rich), milk (creamy, soft, gentle) and coffee (rich, energizing, warm).
Who might like Maison Asrar Coffee Blend?
Anyone who likes a sweet, milky coffee and wants that idea as a perfume would find this list interesting. Within the Maison Asrar range, the entries to compare it with are those that stack vanilla and caramel under a gourmand opening, and it is worth checking whether they use coffee or almond to do the job.
