Coat Check
Coat Check by Abel is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with star anise, coffee and blackcurrant, moves into cocoa and tolu balsam and dries down to tobacco and cedarwood. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Star Anise Liquorice-like and cool. Sweet but not sugary.
- Coffee Roasted, bitter and dark. Adds edge to sweet fragrances.
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Heart
- Cocoa Dry, dusty chocolate. Bitter rather than sweet.
- Tolu Balsam Warm, sweet, slightly cinnamon resin. Rich and rounded.
Dry-down
- Tobacco Sweet, dried and honeyed. Nothing like a cigarette.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
