    Another failed attempt to find a Jo Malone fragrance that I like. I exchanged the Vanilla Anise for the Black Vetyver Cafe. While the Vanilla Anise was too strong, the Black Vetyver Cafe isn't...

    Finally available in the small size! (I procrastinated buying this when it was only available in the large bottle.) I think this is one of Jo's most interesting and special fragrances - hard to...

    Like the reviewer below, I too tend to like light, clean scents. I went to the jo malone counter to check out english pear and freesia. The woman at the counter showed me this fragrance when I...

    I'm typically attracted to floral, clean scents...I was bowled over to find that I LOVE this scent. I browsed at the Jo Malone counter at Bloomy's during my lunch hour and lingered over many of...

    I love gorgeous incense and dark coffee. I received a sample of this in a swap, and absolitely loved it. I never thought about chasing a sample of this, I don't know why I just assumed it would be...

    Black Vetyver Cafe really does smell black. I imagine walking into an almost pitch black coffee shop illuminated only by candles. The shop itself is made entirely of black, cold steel. Gargoyles...

    This is a soft and lovely perfume that seems to consist solely of base notes. The coffee is subtle and not even remotely sweet, while the vetiver smells clean and slightly smoky. Sadly, it does not...

    Please, please say this isn't being discontinued! I'm already upset because there aren't any matching body products available to go with it. My husband says I smell like a cross between vanilla...

    This is my favorite Jo Malone scent and I was just told that it is being discontinued! Of course I bought another bottle right away; don't know what I'll do when it's all gone...

    My second most flavoraite JM cologne (Vintage gardenia is the best). I love coffee note and its coffee top note is very impressive, even if it will fade away in about 5 minutes but the middle note...

    Where was my head when I bought this one; the largest bottle, no less. I know many others like it and I am sure it is nice on them. Since I normally like vetyver, I am not sure why this is not so...

    Shortly after applied, I sniffed, and thought to myself "nutty... no, actually, more like coffee cake". So, for me, though this is a coffee fragrance, it doesn't scream coffee, it's more subtle...

    This is my favorite Jo Malone fragrance. Funny enough, I like the vetyver side of this one better than I like Jo Malone Vetyver overall (which I find to be rather bland, soapy, and fleeting). On...

    This is my second favourite from the Jo Malone line - right after Vintage Gardenia. They actually layer quite interestingly with one another. Black Vetyver Cafe is exactly what it sounds: vetyver...

    Very nice opening, with distinct notes of steaming pitch black coffee, woods, and smokey sweet incense. Unfortunately, this only lasts about 20 minutes. The drydown is a pure, rather linear and...

    Bought this when it first came out (like 2 years ago) and have decided it's too masculine for me. Now my teenage son has discovered it and it smells great on him.

    One of the best fragrances ever! Fell in love with the coffe from first wiff. Dries down into a smorgasbord of sensuality.

    I really do enjoy this, but must echo others' comments: It is more vetiver than anything else, and it is less long-lived than I would like. I might succumb to its charms, but New Haarlem satisfies...

    I get more Vetyver than Cafe. It smells alright, I wasn't crazy about it. I did get one compliment from a co-worker but I don't think it was the BVC she was smelling, I think it was either my...

    I managed to snag a sample from a kind MUA-er and loved it at first sniff. It's very much like freshly-ground coffee beans (beans not coffee--there's no bitterness here) at first, but somehow...
