by Cafe Parfums
Cafe Black Label is a smooth, sweetly woody fragrance with a bold opening of cognac, red apple, and licorice, layered over a soft, ambery base. The dominant licorice note gives it a candy-like sweetness that lingers through the drydown, where woody and cedar notes emerge, creating a warm, slightly dry, and forest-like character. While some describe it as 'apple cider' or 'boozy,' others find the apple note subtle or fading quickly. The scent is remarkably unisex, with its rich blend of sweet, spicy, and woody accords appealing to both men and women. It performs best in cooler weather—autumn and winter—and is especially suited for evening wear. The fragrance is not strong in projection or longevity, but those who appreciate its svelte elegance find it quietly satisfying and unique, much like a natural extension of skin-scented warmth.
