Coffee Break

Coffee Break by Maison Martin Margiela is a soft, cozy, and unisex fragrance that evokes the comforting atmosphere of a quiet coffee shop or a warm, intimate moment at home. It opens with a crisp, fresh lavender note that is bright and aromatic, providing a clean yet slightly medicinal quality. A subtle, sweet creaminess—described as lactonic or milky—follows, giving the scent a gentle, creamy texture reminiscent of a cappuccino. The coffee note is fleeting and soft, not strong or robust, making it more like a memory of coffee rather than a literal scent. Over time, the fragrance settles into a warm, sweet vanilla-tonka-benzoin base, which is subtly woody due to the cedar and vetiver. While the coffee and milk notes are present early on, they dissipate quickly, leaving a soft, powdery, and intimate afterglow on the skin. The performance is modest, lasting only a few hours, with a moderate sillage that is close to the skin. It is particularly well-suited for autumn and winter, offering a comforting and wearable scent for casual outings or quiet evenings. Many users find the scent comforting and desirable, especially for personal relaxation or as a signature scent with a cozy, discreet presence.
