SYNOPSIS: 

The year was 1983 and the place was a bar in London. A supermodel told the bartender she didn’t know if she needed a cocktail, a coffee, or both. Forty years later and the rest is history. 

Based on the origin story of one of the most popular cocktails in the world, Blend No. 83 is a tale of intrigue and mystery, captivating readers at the first word. Transcending time to blend both the past and the present, an unlikely pair of heroes—a worldly bartender and a world renowned supermodel—emerge to each tell their account of what happened on that fateful night. We all know the ending, but how did we get there? Blend No. 83 invites you to experience the Espresso Martini like never before through a thrilling story filled with glamor, glitz, and cultural icons. You won’t be able to put this one down. 

A limited number of bottles of this 2023 holiday collaboration have been unearthed and are available here while supplies last.

Emma S. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about a coffee-themed perfume but this one nails the balance—the espresso martini vibe is decadent without being cloying, and it wears surprisingly well from day to night. The complexity keeps me sniffing my wrist hours later, which rarely happens with my usual picks.

Joshua ★★★★★

The espresso note is so rich and true to the cocktail—I catch it every time I move and it lingers for hours without getting cloying. Wore it out to dinner and got two compliments from strangers, which never happens to me. It's decadent in a way that feels special but not over the top.

John ★★★★★

I was skeptical about a coffee-based perfume but the balance here is perfect—rich and boozy without being overpowering. Wore it to a dinner party and got three compliments before dessert, which never happens.
