More about Maison Margiela Coffee Break
Coffee Break by Maison Margiela is a 2019 unisex gourmand, a comforting fragrance that captures the sensory pleasure of a milky lavender latte enjoyed on a quiet morning. Maison Margiela Coffee Break opens with black pepper, orange blossom and patchouli as its top notes. A rich coffee accord blends with soft lavender, creamy milk mousse, benzoin and tonka bean in the heart notes, then warm vanilla, cedar and vetiver settle in the base notes. The overall effect recreates the cozy ritual of a coffee break in a Stockholm cafe, warm spicy, sweet and slightly powdery. Wearers reach for it mostly in winter and fall, and they split their wear between the daytime and the night. It is a good pick for anyone, men or women, who likes coffee and lavender in a soft, sweet, creamy blend for cool weather.
