Why do you sniff coffee when sampling perfume?

You don't sniff coffee when sampling perfume! This is a common misconception.

It's actually coffee beans that are sniffed after sampling perfume!

Here's why:

* To cleanse the palate: Coffee beans have a strong, neutral aroma that helps to reset your olfactory senses. By sniffing them between different fragrances, you can clear your nose and avoid the scents getting muddled. This allows you to experience each perfume's unique notes more accurately.

* To enhance the experience: Some perfumers even recommend using coffee beans specifically for this purpose, as they accentuate the fragrance and help you detect subtle nuances in the perfumes you try.

So, next time you're sampling perfume, remember to grab a handful of coffee beans to help you fully appreciate each scent!
