The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 28 September 2019 7 Comments

Quite possibly going on my buy list now that it's back in production: Vanille Café from Comptoir Sud Pacifique. "The smell of its first sensual notes of roasted and freshly ground coffee, takes you on a new olfactory journey. From coffee plantation in Costa Rica Where the aromatic brew is a large part of the country's history and culture, to the famous Italian Cafés, temples for tasting the "ristretto", the journey promises to be intoxicating!" The 30 ml bottle is $42 at Beautyhabit, but I am holding out for the 10 ml, since I can see that I will probably never finish my 30 ml bottle of Vanille Banane.

    Coffee and vanilla sounds good to me as long as the vanilla is not OTT sweet. I would mind a ten ml either.

      The problem with some of the CSPs is that they dry down to pretty much “just” vanilla — so I do want to try this first! But the Banane is a fun scent anyway.

      Unless they’ve drastically reformulated it (always a possibility), it’s a slightly bitter coffee married to a fairly sweet vanilla, and it is *glorious*, my favourite coffee scent ever — the coffee note lasts for hours and hours. Absolutely give it a try.

      Unrelated but slightly on-topic, I went into Sephora today to see if they have Vanilla Abricot (they do) and if still smells the same (it does), because my very old 100-mL aluminum spray canister has gone…wrong. Actually physically wrong. It smells okay but something in it has precipitated out into this clumpy translucent amber muck and I’m afraid of it. Gonna toss it and buy a new one one of these days, a 50-mL bottle this time.

        Yep, step away from that bottle and dispose of it carefully! Lol! I’m going to see if I can hunt down a 10ml bottle of Vannile Café..! You sold me??

      I’ve not tried this one but I’ve smelled a few of the CSP vanillas and I find the vanilla to be very “vanilla ice cream.” Not sure if this carries across the line, though.
