rctfavr3 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) Does anyone else get that full on Skunky smell from Coffee FOs? It could just be how I perceive them, but most of the coffee FOs I've tried smell very animalic skunky! Any good black coffee FOs?

PeggyK Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I don't recall getting that kind of odor from what I've sampled, but I do like ICS Spicy Cup of Joe and BCN Turkish Hazelnut. For plain coffees/black coffee - I don't have any suggestions though. Which are the nasty one(s) you've smelled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Yes. At a very elementary level, some of the scent molecules in coffee and skunk spray are very similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuset Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Straight up coffee fo, yep. Needs a little something mixed with it to tolerate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 For a "straight-up" coffee, I like Peak's. I also like some of the different coffee fragrance oils from ICS; she has some really good ones, imo.Have yet to smell skunk in the ones I mixed ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuset Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I like to add a bit of mocha to mine. I should add some cinnamon perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Skunk smell? No. I guess its one of those scent perceptions we have and shows you how each us us can perceive a scent very differently from the next person.I like Peaks Fresh Brewed Coffee and love CS Hazelnut Coffee.

rctfavr3 Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) Yes. At a very elementary level, some of the scent molecules in coffee and skunk spray are very similar.This is true. At least to my nose. I can see a black coffee FO working well in place of a true musk accord for certain blends. I might try this at a later date.Skunk smell? No. I guess its one of those scent perceptions we have and shows you how each us us can perceive a scent very differently from the next person.I like Peaks Fresh Brewed Coffee and love CS Hazelnut Coffee.I'll give Peak's FBC a try.

Scented Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I thought coffee was skunk anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
