How perfumes with coffee perform
In our wear tests, perfumes with coffee score 7.6 out of 10 for longevity on average, which means solid staying power that comfortably covers a work day.
Sillage, the trail a perfume leaves behind you, averages 7 out of 10, which points to balanced projection that is noticeable but polite.
In hot and humid conditions, the same perfumes average 6.5 out of 10 for longevity. Heat speeds up evaporation, so expect scents to feel stronger at first and fade sooner than in cool, dry air.

Buying tips for perfumes with coffee
Check the concentration. Most of the perfumes here are EDP. Eau de parfum and parfum usually last longer and cost more than eau de toilette, and each perfume page lists the exact concentration.
Consider a decant or a travel size if the full bottle is expensive. It lets you live with the scent for a week before spending real money.
Moisturise before you spray. Perfume holds far better on hydrated skin, and an unscented lotion can add hours to a scent that otherwise fades quickly.
