Coffee & Newspapers Fragrance Oil
Rich and aromatic with roasted coffee, amber, vanilla, musk, and subtle citrus-lavender brightness.
The scent
Coffee & Newspapers Fragrance Oil captures the comforting ritual of a slow morning — the scent of freshly brewed coffee mingling with the crispness of a new day. Deep roasted coffee beans blend with warm amber, musk, and smooth vanilla, while subtle hints of citrus, lavender, and chocolate add brightness and depth. The result is a rich, aromatic fragrance that feels both invigorating and grounding. Perfect for autumn and winter collections, cosy home scents, or Father’s Day gifts, this sophisticated blend also works beautifully year-round for coffee lovers and calm, morning-inspired creations.
