Coffee Addict delivers a hyperrealistic, gourmand interpretation of coffee that feels like a creamy caramel latte or a freshly brewed cappuccino. It opens with a bold, warm coffee note blended seamlessly with caramel, vanilla, and a subtle cocoa powder, creating an indulgent, slightly sweet scent that remains consistent and linear throughout its wear. Despite being described as unisex, the intensity and sweetness often lead to more feminine perception, especially during colder months. The fragrance is not a subtle whisper but rather a direct, confident statement—often projected within arm’s length, though sillage remains moderate to strong. Performance is standout, lasting over 10 hours with remarkable longevity, even after showering, and maintaining detectable traces well into the next day. While praised as the most realistic coffee scent available, the initial sweetness can feel overwhelming for those disinterested in sugary or foodie fragrances—many reviewers find it so accurate it borders on literal, eventually resembling a candy or dessert rather than a true perfume.
