Fresh-poured Dominican coffee, brown sugar, and rum-soaked vanilla... the comfort of home now comes as a perfume.
We created La Tacita de Café to smell like perfumer Michael Paul's mother's house: coffee on the stove, vanilla cake in the oven, brown sugar, and flowers. That memory earned it both the 2023 Art & Olfaction Aftel Award and ScentXplore's 2024 Best Debut Fragrance Award. Spiced sweet orange greets you on the first spray, then melts into rich Dominican coffee, brown sugar, and mellow vanilla touched with rum. Chocolate, tonka bean, and amyris wood smooth the base into a warm gourmand dry down, more café con leche than a pungent black-coffee blast. To Michael, it is the scent of a mother's love.
Comforting, a little sweet, and unmistakably home, La Tacita de Café is the coffee scent even coffee skeptics fall for. This is La Tacita de Café.
