Coffee flower Accord
Hi all,
In an effort to do something for my elderly mother, I am trying to create a perfume for her that would bring back her childhood memories of growing up on a coffee farm in the Caribbean.
The current vibe is big open air, with fresh mountain streams, tropical Mango, Tangerine, orange, fresh greens and other mountain vibes.
To tie everything together I have been trying to identify how to bring in the Coffee flower aroma. This unicorn is only available for a 24-48hrs of a given year and thus seems to be unavailable as an ingredient. It is a mesmerizing scent with hints of jasmine, orange blossom, gardenia, honey, vanilla and a faint hint of something almost citrusy. Oddly enough the coffee scent itself is so faint it is a trace in the background rather than what you would expect.
I've tried to recreate it but have failed horribly and the attempted formulas are not even worth sharing. Pretty much in all of them the coffee overpowered everything else and ruined all the accord batches.
In a desperate hunt I came across a Night Queen FO that is similar but did not match the scent as it seemed a bit strong as opposed to the almost ethereal scent of the coffee flower.
Has anyone ever attempted something like this or come across a workable available formula?
