Café Affogato by Jousset Parfums is a gourmand fragrance designed for both men and women, distinguished by its focus on sensorial indulgence and pleasure. This creation, which represents a true ode to coffee and the most exquisite sweets, was launched in 2024 as a celebration of the most comforting sensorial experiences. With its blend of carefully selected ingredients, it captures the essence of a delicious Italian dessert, the affogato, transporting the wearer to a moment of pure enjoyment.

The creator behind this unique fragrance is Jimmy Bodin, a perfumer renowned for his ability to combine gourmet notes with a sophisticated approach. In Café Affogato, Bodin captures his vision of a fragrance that emulates the warmth, sweetness, and intensity of coffee served with ice cream and a touch of whipped cream. Every drop of this fragrance becomes a sensorial experience evoking life's simple yet profound pleasures.

The top notes are a direct invitation to coffee lovers, beginning with a robust espresso accord that captures its deep and authentic aroma. This initial impact is sweetened by the softness of Madagascar vanilla, an ingredient that lends a rich, velvety quality to the whole. The initial combination awakens the senses and sets the stage for a fragrance that is both warm and inviting.

At the heart of Café Affogato, the intensity of coffee is found again, but this time enriched with sweeter, creamier nuances. Vanilla and ice cream intertwine to create a fragrant core reminiscent of the softness and freshness of the dessert that inspires this fragrance. This balance between warmth and coolness provides depth and texture, transforming the heart of the fragrance into a moment of pure delight.

The base notes are a gourmand symphony culminating in a dark chocolate and whipped cream accord. The dark chocolate adds a touch of sophisticated bitterness that contrasts beautifully with the sweetness of the underlying notes. Whipped cream provides a soft sensation that rounds out the composition, leaving an irresistible trail that lingers on the skin.

Café Affogato is presented as a fragrance that stands out for its versatility, capable of adapting to any gender and occasion. Although designed for the colder months, its gourmand character can be equally captivating in a warmer setting, as long as you seek a warm and enveloping olfactory experience.

Café Affogato's design reflects the spirit of the fragrance, with a minimalist and elegant bottle that recalls the aesthetics of a classic European café. The warm, dark tones of the packaging evoke the color of freshly brewed espresso, while the gold details add a touch of luxury and refinement.
