ABOUT

Coffee tincture presents as concentrated roasted espresso: bitter, slightly smoky and oily, with dark chocolate, caramelized sugar and a boozy warmth that can read syrupy, tarry or creamy depending on extraction, evoking cafés, freshly ground beans and a sensual gourmand warmth. In perfumery it functions mainly as a heart-to-base ingredient to impart depth, roasted realism and longevity—commonly paired with vanilla, tonka, chocolate, tobacco, woods, amber and spices in gourmand or oriental blends, or used sparingly to add an addictive, bitter edge to florals, leathers and fougères.
