I bought my bottles in the official store in Portugal in March 2016.
The price for a bottle was 25 Euro with a discount.
The fragrance is Made in Brazil.
When a fragrance claims to have coffee inside and shows it as much as O Boticario do by naming its fragrance Coffee Man I expect much.
The ingredients list on the package shows Coffea Arabica Extract.
Seems that there is real coffee inside.
Next step, how does it smell?
It has a masculine, slightly sweet scent. It wouldn´t remind me of coffee instantly but of something brownish, a little bit of chocolate. The undertone is cedar-like and seems to be Iso E Super.
And the lasting power?
Coffee Man seems to be a fragrance that, if overdosed, isn´t recognized by the wearer anymore but may annoy your sourroundings. As the fragrance is well concentrated, 2 sprays last about 2 hours and then turn down to a Iso E Super mono scent.
What´s the purpose to wear?
It may fit to any situation, meeting, club out or office. Summer or Winter. It´s an oriental, but as written above a darker one, not as sweet as many others.
Which age would fit the fragrance?
Seems to be pretty mature, the older the better. But for the over 60 years old I would recommend something powdery.
All in all a well done creation by the brazilian brand.
Now I wore this fragrance for a longer period.
The fragrance is well concentrated and lasts and projects over 8 hours within a half meter (one spray).
That's a very good performance for a eau de toilette.
The main notes that I get are coffee, tobacco, pepper and leather.
So the fragrance smells slightly sweet, fresh and spicy.
I compared Coffee Man with Pure Coffee from Thierry Mugler.
Pure Coffee has a thick patchouli note that makes Pure Coffee much more powdery.
Both can't be compared together, both don't represent the classic coffee smell to me.
But Coffee Man is so much better than Pure Coffee.
It's the perfect night club fragrance.
Long lasting and great smelling.
For me the fragrance is so much better than any Le Male, 1 Million, Spicebomb or Egoiste.
And by the way, nobody wears it outside of Latin countries.
OVERALL RATING: 6 of 10
