Accords
Notes Pyramid
Scent Journey
No official top notes are published. The announced flat note set includes coffee and frankincense, but Le Labo has not confirmed an opening sequence.
No official heart notes are published. For structured display, the announced flat list is placed under middle only; it is not an official heart-notes classification.
No official base notes are published. Labdanum and cedarwood suggest a resinous woody finish, but wear data is not yet established.
Performance Dashboard
Not yet established. Only two Fragrantica votes existed at the time of research, which is not enough to support a longevity claim.
Not yet established. The house describes an atmospheric rather than gourmand-sweet coffee interpretation, suggesting moderate projection at most, but there is no verified wear data.
Not yet established. No reliable wear reports were available at the time of research.
When to Wear
Pros & Cons
- Vienna-exclusive concept tied to coffeehouse culture
- Unusual coffee-frankincense-rose-vanilla accord without an official pyramid
- Unisex amber-woody profile suited to fall and winter
- From Le Labo's City Exclusives line
- Extremely limited distribution as a Vienna boutique exclusive in 2026
- No published perfumer or official top/heart/base pyramid
- Performance data remains unconfirmed
- Fragrantica rating is based on only two votes
- Official USD pricing and exact size were not confirmed at research time
Price & Value
“Premium city-exclusive pricing. Value depends on access and appetite for an unpublished, low-data release.”
Reformulation History
No significant batch variations reported. The fragrance is too new and too limited for meaningful batch data.
Who It's For

Layering Ideas
- Layer with a citrus-forward Le Labo such as Bergamote 22 to brighten the coffee-amber profile.
- Pair with a rose-dominant scent only if you want more floral lift; CAFE 32 already lists Damask rose.
