I'm going to take a step outside my normal scents and get a coffee one, but I don't want it to make me feel nauseous. I LOVE the smell of Starbucks in the Fall/winter. Looking for a good dupe for that smell. Any suggestions?

I'm not big into drinking coffee, but love the smell of Starbucks! Some of my favorite coffee scents include, Raspberry White Mocha Latte, Caramel Latte, and Vanilla Hazelnut Coffee. I would say as far as smelling like Starbucks, Caramel Latte might be your best bet.

I also like Raspberry White Mocha Latte. I'm more into the sweeter scents when it comes to coffee so I like Orange Vanilla Coffee, Razzamataz Hazelnut Coffee and Frenchville Coffee as well.

I have only tried two coffee scents. Frenchville Coffee, I put vanilla creamer in my coffee and my girls wanted a scent that smelled like that to them. Caramel Macciato is like a sweet coffee candy to me. It must be the warm caramel that makes me think that. Oh wait I've tried three coffee scents. Cinnamon Gingerbread Latte. That is the only coffee I ever get from Starbucks. It did take my scent shot a little while to cure, like 2 months. It may have been ready to melt before that but when I first got it I thought that it was too spicy. It was still a bit spicy (ginger) to my nose before I melted it but it toned down and smoothed out once I warmed it up. It is a great fall scent but isn't heavy on the coffee.

Pumpkin Frappucino is a good one, and very fall-esque. I also like Caramel Macchiato but is is SUPER sweet. My favorite coffee scent isn't a proper coffee scent but it does have a coffee note in it, and that is Country Coffee Cake Sooo good.

Pumpkin Frappucino and Cinnamon Gingerbread Latte are my favorite fall coffee scents. I actually think Cinnamon Gingerbread Latte is a Starbucks fall flavor? It is pretty heavy on the spices by there is still that hint of coffee that smells heavenly!

I want a coffee scent now too! I ordered straight up Coffee Bean so we will see how that one smells. I went into BBW yesterday and they had a coffee scented candle that was was soooooo good! I wont even bother buying it though. I was thinking of maybe mixing Coffee Bean and Frenchville Coffee if Coffee Bean ends up being to strong on it's own. Dang it why didn't I order Pumpkin Frappucino!?!?

I haven't tried Coffee Bean on it's own yet, but some of Victoria's coffee scents smell like Folger's coffee to me so I'm guessing that is what Coffee Bean will smell like. Not sure of course just a guess but I think it might be a strong semi-sweet semi-bitter kind of scent. I'm a coffee/fruity type of lover. I have found much to my surprise that my favorite coffee scents have some kind of really sweet fruit in them like Orange Vanilla Coffee or Razamatazz Hazelnut Coffee so I have been hesitant to get just plain Coffee Bean.

To try and help you out I went ahead and looked up the scent description of that bath and body works scent and I found out it is "topped with vanilla cream". So you may want to try one of Victoria's coffee scents that incorporate vanilla. I haven't tried any coffee scents but I'm guessing something to the effect of vanilla coffee crunch may float your boat

I have found much to my surprise that my favorite coffee scents have some kind of really sweet fruit in them like Orange Vanilla Coffee or Razamatazz Hazelnut Coffee so I have been hesitant to get just plain Coffee Bean. I hate to admit it but I drink instant coffee *gasp*. I use to drink waaaaaay to much coffee and have actually given up caffeine periodically over the years. BTW I make horrible brewed coffee, it's genetic I swear.The scent of fresh brewed (not instant) has always been a great smell to me even when I was abstaining from it. I'll have to go add Orange Vanilla Coffee to my list. DONE! I know I would love the hazelnut scented coffees and even Cafe' Au Lait claims it has a nuttiness but because of the peanut allergy in the house I'm going to regrettably skip them for now. Trust me with out the PA in the house I'd be all over scents like Nut House ect. I should have order Sweet Milk to mix with Coffee Bean just in case it is way to bitter. I want to drink some right now!

I haven't tried any coffee scents but I'm guessing something to the effect of vanilla coffee crunch may float your boat Thanks Mandy! I wonder if Frenchville Coffee mixed with Coffee Bean, would work or maybe Pink Cupcake or another sweet vanilla. I'll have to go look up the scent description fro Vanilla Coffee Crunch to make sure that there are not any nut notes. Hmm the scent description didn't say but I may need to email Victoria to find out for sure. I'll wait a couple weeks until the sale frenzy dies down. I will however add Vanilla Coffee Crunch to my list because you're right the scent description sounds to be very fitting for the BBW scent. Thanks again
