What works
- ●Lavender-coffee-milk accord is original — nothing else smells like this
- ●Cozy without going full bakery; the lavender keeps it from being dessert
- ●Subtle gourmand that actually plays well in an office
Trade-offs
- ●Coffee fades into latte foam within an hour
- ●Lavender does heavy lifting; if you hate lavender, hard pass
Similar scent DNA — if you own one, you may not need the other
Different scent, similar vibe
