☕ “A warm cup between cold hands”

Coffee Break is the comfort of a winter pause —
a stolen moment where soft lavender steam meets the warmth of a freshly brewed espresso.

A milky, fluffy air built on:

• Hedione HC & Dihydromyrcenol → cozy, cotton-clean freshness
• Linalyl Acetate & Peppermint → a mint-lavender foam illusion

Then the cup deepens — slowly:

The Coffee Accord

Not bitter espresso but a soft roasted crema:

• Coffee absolute
• Sulfurol & Oakmoss
• Patchouli & Vetiver accents
  → a café noir wrapped in velvet

The Gourmand Heart

• Vanillin + Ethyl Vanillin + Ethyl Maltol → latte sweetness
• Coumarin → warm pastry, almond crust
• Helvetolide + Romandolide → creamy musk foam

A modern cozy woody signature:

• Iso E Super, Sandranol, Cedramber
  → that addictive “skin-hugging sweater” feeling

✨ The Result

Coffee Break is a personal space,
a scent that feels like a hug from the inside.

Comforting — but polished.
Soft — but lingering.
Everyday — yet unforgettable.

The smell of taking a breath.
