If you’re goal is to smell like a creamy cup of coffee with caramel the new Brown Girl Jane Casino Eau de Parfum is a must have! I popped a travel-spray of Brown Girl Jane Casino into my cart recently but I’m headed back in for a full-size bottle purchase as I LOVE a good gourmand coffee scent and this checks off all the boxes to get me smelling like a sweet, creamy cup of coffee. That isn’t everyone’s thing I get it but for me, I’m in love.
I’m the oddball person that hates the taste of coffee, doesn’t drink it (I admit I’ll indulge in a macchiato on a rare day though!), but gets so much joy from walking into a Starbucks or smelling someone brewing a cup of joe! I absolutely love the smell of coffee particularly when it’s some sort of fancy dessert-like cup of coffee with whipped foam, caramel, etc…etc…!
When I heard about Brown Girl Jane Casino Eau de Parfum I was all hands on deck! This is a warm gourmand blend of Espresso Affogato, Golden Rum Cake, and Almond Foam. Sounded like a perfect coffee gourmand to me and perhaps a little bit of a dupe of Mancera Amore Caffe which I love. Sadly, it is not but it is creamy caramel coffee just like Amore Caffe!
I think very straight forward and won’t confuse your noise. I don’t get the golden rum cake nor the almond foam but I do get the beautiful hit of expresso but it isn’t dark nor bitter it’s creamy and even though the notes don’t say as such there’s a beautiful caramel in the background twined around the expresso giving it a warm, comforting hug of sweetness. This is going to pair so well with others scents from Brown Girl Jane like Carousel or even Lush Sticky Dates and Bianco Latte. It’s one of those scents you can easily pair up with other gourmands especially ones with vanilla or caramel notes!
As this dries down it retains the beautiful caramel coffee notes but has a little hint of soft, fluffy marshmallow as well. It’s a very warm, comforting scent but not one I’d considering wearing in the Spring or Summer. I’ll likely wait for Fall to bring this back out again as it’ll make a beautiful scent for the cooler weather. It also wears like a champion and creates a beautiful throw around the room and will have people asking what that wonderful smell is. Chances are they’ll think someone is drinking a fancy coffee drink but it’ll just be you smelling like a snack!
Brown Girl Jane Casino Eau de Parfum is well worth the haul and gets a Muse Approval for purchase. Don’t pass this one up if you’re a gourmand lover.
