The night has finally arrived; the coffee is fresh and the rum is dark, and welcome to Espresso Royale. Dark roasted coffee, dark rum, warm coffee cake with rich caramel. It is the anticipation of the nights mysteries and delights...sweet and dark...innocence with danger lurking just out of sight.
Notes: Rum, hazelnut, caramel, espresso.

Creamy, smooth, gourmand. What else needs to be said? Espresso Royale reminds me of the most expensive, smoothest latte one could imagine. An amazing frothy-vanilla base soaked in rich coffee beans. This is for those who enjoy a more sweet coffee scent rather than a bitter one. 5/5 easily.

Espresso Royale is one of a kind. I have so often encountered coffee based fragrances that let me down, but not this one. The opening is a creamy rich coffee. As it dries down, it becomes more frothy and “milk” like, exactly like a latte. I am seriously considering purchasing a full bottle after sampling this.

It has pretty much all the notes that are listed, it opens up exactly like the Japanese Kopiko coffee candy I used to really like. Unfortunately, after the dry down it fades more into a really strong rum/boozy scent and the sweetness of the milky sugary coffee candy just vanishes.
I prefer the sweeter opening notes of the perfume, but I imagine others may enjoy the slightly darker and boozier edge to this scent.

Warm and spicy and sexy, so perfect for winter. Wearing it feels like slipping into a camel-colored cashmere sweater -- with nothing on underneath. :) Will be ordering a full bottle, for certain.

When I was growing up, we had an ice cream shop called Big Dip. It was called this because they used to dip the soft ice cream upside down to create a shell over it. I loved it when the dip spilled over and ran down onto the cone. It came in two flavors: chocolate and cherry. One dip created this heavenly, velvety shell. A couple years passed, and the dip stopped performing that magic. It was thinner, and it didn't completely cover the white of the ice cream. They also had the best espresso ever. Yes, I did do that lemon twist, and it was worth every penny. They also had lattes, specialty brews, cappuccinos etc. They were the best ever. No coffee shop to this day can compare to the way they used to make them back then. The opening in Sebastian's Espresso takes me back to that time. Wonderful quality in this fragrance. It wears soft on me, but that's really good; I wouldn't want this one to be a beast. This one is certainly bottle worthy.

All coffee with some slight hazelnut and vanilla undertones. All around an Amazing scent. Top notch.

If you're a coffee lover or just love the smell of it like me, this is for you. Quality juice , but have in mind that it's a bit oily on the skin.

Ideal for cold weather, got me a few unsolicited compliments a few hours after application, stayed with me throughout the whole work day (8 hours).

The best interpration of a coffee house beverage!

Espresso Royale is more of a pleasantly spicy-sweet gourmand than a straight ahead coffee scent. The rum is very candied and thick and I find that the coffee becomes undetectable after the first hour. It's a nice made scent but if you are looking for a realistic coffee fragrance you might be a little bit let down.

We have tried so many coffee fragrance, including many niche offerings and this is the best one for us!

The rum in this must be a spiced rum, because all I got from this scent was a big blast of cinnamon and a hint of coffee. I've been trying to find a sweet, simple coffee fragrance for such a long time and was hoping that this would be it, but this is way too heavy on the spice. I also don't like how oily this fragrance was. It never sank into my skin (sat on it in an oily puddle) and left oily stains on my clothes. Really disappointed in this fragrance :(

When you wear Espresso Royale, you get coffee in all forms: roasting beans, freshly brewed espresso and coffee flavored just baked sweets. Coffee perfection with very impressive longevity.

Wonderful coffee of very long duration, very high fixed more than 24 hours without changing temperatures. Great work best coffee of all time, I'll stock up before something changes, Sebastiane congratulated for conducting and Indiescents.

This is the best coffee fragrance my husband and I have tried. We were transported to coffee heaven.
An experience of walking past a coffee bar, and smelling the coffee brew, and also the pastries they are making. So well done!

This is a perfect scent to get my coffee fix. It's not notes of coffee, it IS coffee. Warm and comforting. It will be wonderful in fall weather. The sillage is pretty close (how I like it), but I could smell it on myself all day. Good buy!!!

This is a wonderful fragrance that starts as a true beautiful, full-on espresso (think: freshly-brewed Italian espresso with just a hint of pleasant roasted bitterness) which then dries down to a glorious coffee cake with intermittent sips of an afternoon espresso.
A delight!
The notes here are clear, bright and steeped in verisimilitude. I wouldn't be suprised if when wearing this gem that you are asked "Who put the coffee on ?".
One of my new favorites. On me, the scent lasts a good 6+ hours with greater-than-arm's length sillage.
I am saving room in my wardrobe for a bottle of this. Definately FBW. Well done Sebastiane!

Beautify warm spicy scent that has become my personal favorite. Bitter coffee for the first few minutes, then the rum starts to sparkle. Long-lasting: twelve hours later, it's still there.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Coffee, sweet spices and a touch of rum. It may or may not last as long as you would want it to, but respraying it as a real pleasure.

I've been trying to find a nice coffee scent and this one is lovely. While New Harlaam is more syrupy and A*Men more medicinal, this one opens with a strong blast of freshly brewed bitter espresso. Within 30 minutes, it moves into a spicey sweet chai latte with a dusting of cinnamon over the espresso shot. If you like your coffee drinks (and want to smell like one), this is a must try. Unfortunately, it does not last very long on my skin, nor project much after 2-3 hours.
