by Strangers Parfumerie
Caffeine Honey by Strangers Parfumerie is a bold, gourmand fragrance centered around sweet coffee and honey, layered with smoky, ambery, and boozy accords. The opening bursts with roasted coffee beans, honey, and sugared vanilla, creating a rich, almost edible scent that feels rustic and intimate. The dry-down reveals deep, warm notes of tobacco, amberwood, and labdanum, giving it a sophisticated, smoky character—like a campfire coffee in a cowboy’s pocket. Its strength and longevity are considerable, with a sillage that lingers heavily, making it best suited for colder months. While some find it too sweet or overwhelming, especially those sensitive to honey or cade oil, many appreciate its unique, personality-driven character and the way it transforms on skin. It’s not for everyone—some report it becomes cloying or an irritant—but those who connect with it often find it deeply satisfying, evoking a sense of elegance, melancholy, and rugged charm.
