Cafe Arabesque Les Indémodables: a rich oriental coffee fragrance
Cafe Arabesque by Les Indémodables is an oriental fragrance built around an exceptionally high-quality coffee extract, created to capture the richness and complexity of specialty coffee rather than the sweetness of a café dessert. Developed by master perfumer Antoine Lie, the composition celebrates responsibly sourced Brazilian coffee oil and pairs it with precious natural materials to create an elegant, resinous scent that feels warm, sophisticated, and timeless. Rather than presenting coffee as a gourmand novelty, the fragrance explores its aromatic depth—from roasted beans and creamy textures to smooth woods and glowing amber resins—resulting in an enveloping fragrance with remarkable refinement.
Olfactory Notes
The fragrance opens with an aromatic impression reminiscent of a freshly brewed ristretto, revealing vibrant roasted coffee facets accented by subtle spicy and liquorice-like nuances. As it develops, the composition becomes softer and creamier, suggesting the comforting texture of a mochaccino with delicate hints of cocoa and lightly roasted hazelnut. In the dry down, rich Siam benzoin and smooth New Caledonian sandalwood wrap the coffee accord in a warm, balsamic embrace, creating an addictive oriental trail that remains elegant rather than overly sweet. This evolution reflects the brand's emphasis on showcasing the natural complexity of its exclusive Brazilian coffee extract.
