    gotters I agree that coffee smell on its own could be a bit too much, but as a part of the rest might be an interesting concept, like tobacco.

      John_Yossarian You are not alone. I not only sniff it every time but also taste the left overs. I often find the left-over cold coffee tasted better than it was hotter. 😊

      You are right, the smell of coffee is like the smell of frying bacon, enticing, entoxicating and it makes the nostrils flare and the taste buds tingle in anticipation. But, would I like to dab a bit under me pits?….The bacon, only if I want to be chased by every dog in the neighbourhood. The coffee, only if it would entice some beautiful, dusky maiden from Brazil to want to get to know me, as opposed to sewer flies that are attracted to spent coffee grounds.

        Another one of my passions cropping up haha. I have a fair amount of fragrances which I like to collect. Coffee is actually a fairly common note within the fragrance community. For example, Black Opium lists coffee as a note.

          IntoxNitram This is very interesting.
          Pompeyexile mentioned “fried bacon” but I did not mean the smell of roasted coffee but that of once extracted and dried up on the bottom of the cup.

          The extracted fragrance is what I find very pleasant. I personally never liked the smell of roasted coffee beans.

          We bought these from Lidl, they have a slight coffee taste but a strong coffee aroma.

            Meldrew Well according to UK law, and thier description, they seem to have real coffee flavour in them!
