Bitter, roasty, and slightly smoky with a warm, stimulating energy, coffee in perfumery reads as sophisticated rather than caffeinated. It adds depth to oriental and woody fragrances, and its slight bitterness stops adjacent sweet notes from becoming cloying. A note that perfumers love for its ability to make everything smell more complex.
