- Olympic Orchids Café V EDP - A spicy fragrance inspired by one of Seattle’s many cozy neighborhood cafes with its dark décor, warm fireplace, leather chairs and espresso bar.

Created by Ellen Covey and released in 2013, it features notes of espresso-roast coffee, dark cacao, vanilla, cream, spicy chai, cardamom, leather, and well-worn wood.
- Pierrot Perfumery The Southern Pansy Perfume - The Southern Pansy is a gorgeous gourmand with notes of rich buttered crumpets, spice tea, fresh Italian espresso, hot croissants and a half-eaten Bakewell Tart.
