Café Intenso Perfume

Details and Care

Café Intenso by Cofinluxe Perfume. With robust base notes blending the warmth and depth of coffee and vanilla with the earthy creaminess of sandalwood and musk, Café Intenso delivers a stimulating and attention-getting fragrance that is anything but ordinary. Lily of the valley, lotus and lily add lush white and pink floral notes to its heart, and the top notes of mandarin, apple, grapefruit and bamboo contribute tart and tropical subtleties. Crispness and sweetness make it a go-to scent fresh enough for day wear while longevity and sensuality carry it seamlessly into whatever temptations the evening promises.

Cofinluxe was established in 1976 by Jean-Pierre Grivory, an internationally-successful and award-winning French perfumer, in Paris. Introduced in 2005, this perfume is an integral part of a coffee-inspired fragrance lifestyle line, Café Parfums for Women, created by Jean Jacques, a Versailles-trained artist and biochemist who has developed fragrances for some of Europe’s most acclaimed fashion houses.

Questions and Answers

Q: How does Cofinluxe Café Intenso Perfume smell?

A: Wearing Cofinluxe Café Intenso Perfume feels like spending a warm summer morning in a gorgeous citrus orchard. The top notes of mandarin orange, fresh grapefruit and apple blend seamlessly into sweet floral middle notes of lily and lotus. A base of coffee, sandalwood and musk keeps this fragrance down to earth without being overly masculine.

Q: Where do you apply Cofinluxe Café Intenso Perfume?

A: If you want a long-lasting fragrance, apply Cofinluxe Café Intenso Perfume directly to the pulse points on your wrists, inner elbows, neck and chest. You can further increase the longevity by applying a bit of petroleum jelly to your pulse points first. This keeps the fragrance from reacting to your body chemistry and dissipating as quickly. You can also create a lighter fragrance by spritzing it into the air and walking through the mist so it attaches to your clothing and hair.

Q: What is the fragrance concentration?

A: Cofinluxe Café Intenso Perfume is an eau de toilette fragrance, which means it is composed of up to 15% pure perfume. Eau de toilettes offer fresh and light fragrances that work well during the summer months and work best for normal or oily skin. EDTs are not quite as strong as eau de colognes or eau de parfums.

Q: Is Cofinluxe Café Intenso Perfume for him or her?

A: Although it was made with women in mind, anybody who enjoys fresh citrus and floral fragrances can wear Cofinluxe Café Intenso Perfume.

Q: Does Cofinluxe Café Intenso Perfume last long?

A: Cofinluxe Café Intenso Perfume is an eau de toilette. EDTs typically last for 2-4 hours. Your body chemistry, the temperature outside, and even how other people perceive smell will all factor into the strength and longevity of the fragrance. To make it last longer, apply it directly after showering and moisturizing your skin. It also helps to layer on similar fragrances or to spray on a quick touch-up throughout the day.

Q: What fragrances smell similar?

Q: What season should I wear Cofinluxe Café Intenso Perfume?

Q: Where can I buy it?
