Qahwa

Qahwa, from Fragrance World, is a resinous coffee fragrance released in 2024. Resins lead clearly, with spice, sweetness and woods each noticed by about half of those who describe it.

Cardamom opens with a cool, aromatic spice, a familiar partner for coffee, and the coffee note itself brings a roasted, slightly bitter warmth. Dates add a sticky, honeyed sweetness. As it develops, labdanum and benzoin build a dense, balsamic base with a vanilla-like softness, while smoke and cedar add a dry, smouldering woodiness.

Worn by anyone, Qahwa is a warm, comforting scent suited to autumn and winter, cosy evenings and gatherings. It suits people who like coffee and resin fragrances and want something sweet but grounded, with a gentle smoky edge.
