    Received an oil sample of this along with my purchase from Ava. More 'gourmet coffee bean shop' than just coffee - lots of spices, herbs, tobacco, dirt, leather(?) - cool, shaded, comforting and...

    I much perfer the oil form of Cafe Noir than its EDP form. It smells wonderfully like freshly baked, rich and smoky coffee from beginnning to end. It's well-blened. My nose didn't pick up any other...

    Thought I'd love this. It begins smelling wonderful like a coffee shop, but then it transforms on my skin into the aroma of flea-and-tick pet shampoo. Not chemistry-compatible for me. :(

    This review pertains to the oil form, as Ava Luxe is (as of September/October 2009) selling oils on her Etsy site. I LOVE THIS. I tried it, and liked it enough, in EDP form, but I think that...

    This opens with an intense burst of fresh espresso coffee beans backed with a hint of something that smells mildly citrusy, but I think its the lavender. It starts to soften immediately and...

    I love the smell of coffee. I would like to know why it seems I cannot get the smell of coffee in a perfume without it being backed up by patchouli. The opening is lovely - dark rich coffee with...

    Didn't think I'd like this one, as I am not a gourmand. However, this is nicely done. I find the strong coffee with the wood/spice element stunning and unique. Mmmm... and roses at the heart? ...

    I love Cafe Noir. Yes, it's a unisex scent, easily worn by men and women alike. It starts with a bracing, refreshing, black coffee/espresso burst. The lasting power is excellent - easily a good...

    Beautiful coffee fragrance. It becomes sweeter as time goes on, but doesn't add anything like a milk note.

    Starts out smelling like a woodsy, dark, dark espresso roast. Nice. After about twenty minutes, it gets very smoky on me. Less like coffee and somewhere between cigarettes and burning fall leaves....

    This smells like a man's cologne to me. Starts out smelling like I rubbed espresso onto my wrist, then quickly morphs into generic manly cologne. No thanks.

    Simply one of the most lovely and accurate coffee smells I have ever tried. My previous favorites include Dawn Spencer Hurwitz's Coffee Absolute (the scent of dark, unroasted, slightly bitter...

    Opens with the scent of dark freshly roasted coffee beans, then settles into a generic but pleasant masculine woody base. I must say I appreciated the tenacity of this one. I got a very solid 8...

    Cafe Noir is an experience. <p> Think dry evergreen forest and Columbian coffee beans the color of black loam. If I smelt this on a man, I think I would have to do something drastic and highly...

    So disappointed in this! It's definitely a rich dark coffee scent, but there's a very prominent (at least to my nose) woodsy, masculine note, very similar to Polo cologne - it's as if someone...

    Rich, deep, smooth, dark coffee. Stunningly simple. Great as a "breather" in between sniffing other perfumes. A definite winter pick for me.

    This is a great dupe of Comme des Garcons' Wood Coffee. Its utter woodsiness makes it suitable for men, too. However, I don't take my coffee black. I need my milk and sugar, and that goes for...
