Eccentricity
Eccentricity by JMP Artisan Perfumes is crafted for gourmand lovers who want bold character rather than generic mall sweetness. Jakub Pietrynka built this fragrance around an unconventional clash of creamy cappuccino, salty ambergris, and rich caramel. If you love deep coffee scents like Montale Ristretto Intense Cafe or Masque Milano Madeleine, this indie release offers a much quirkier ride. It suits cool weather, casual weekend coffee runs, and cozy evening dates when you want a warm scent bubble. It is unapologetically unisex, though the initial burst of coconut and cherry leans playful. On dry skin, the buttery vanilla stays smooth and creamy for well over eight hours. Keep your sprays modest in small rooms.

Notes Pyramid
Search these notesChoose where each note belongs.
Eccentricity opens with a bright burst of candied cherry, shredded coconut, and rich caramel syrup before settling into its dark heart. Within twenty minutes, a steaming cappuccino accord takes center stage, blended with churned butter and sweet almond paste. The base dries down to a savory balance of earthy sandalwood, warm musk, and mineral-rich ambergris that tempers the early sweetness.
Main Accords
10 MAPPEDThe dominant coffee accord smells remarkably authentic, capturing the rich aroma of frothed milk and roasted espresso beans rather than synthetic candy flavoring. Beneath the coffee, lactonic butter and toasted almond provide a velvety thickness, while base notes of ambergris and sandalwood introduce a dry, salty counterweight that keeps the sweet caramel from turning cloying over prolonged wear.

EDITORIAL“JMP Artisan Perfumes Eccentricity Review: A Buttery Coffee Gourmand”
The first spray hits with surprising power. A brief flash of alcohol solvent gives way almost instantly to a thick, sugary glaze of melted caramel and grated coconut flakes. You might expect a simple dessert syrup from that description, but tart red cherry and dewy jasmine petals quickly cut through the sugar to keep things lively. It is loud and unabashedly decadent. Within ten minutes, that initial fruity punch dials back, revealing a dense layer of sweet dairy and golden caramel that coats your senses like fresh confectioner glaze.
Then comes the coffee. It does not smell like stale grounds or an overly bitter black espresso. Instead, Jakub Pietrynka introduces a frothy, authentic cappuccino accord enriched by churned butter, toasted almond, and creamy Madagascar vanilla. Skin warmth melts these elements together into an intoxicating dalgona coffee texture. Yet the drydown holds an unexpected surprise. Salty ambergris emerges from beneath the cream, giving the sweet roasted beans an earthy, animalic contrast that keeps you sniffing your wrist all afternoon.
Skin chemistry matters immensely here. On dry skin, the sweet lactonic butter note lingers for hours, projecting a warm bakery aroma that feels deeply soothing. On warmer or oilier skin, however, the ambergris and raw sandalwood step forward much faster, pulling the entire scent into a drier, slightly salty profile. Some wearers might find the heavy butter note slightly overwhelming during the first thirty minutes. Do not panic. Once the volatile top notes evaporate, the lactonic intensity softens into a velvety almond milk and vanilla skin scent.
Longevity is exceptional. On bare skin, Eccentricity reliably pushes past the eight-hour mark, and it clings to wool coats or flannel shirts until wash day. The sillage pushes out about four feet during the first two hours before settling into a persistent, comfortable arm-length aura. Cold weather is essential. When outdoor temperatures sink below twelve degrees Celsius, the roasted coffee and ambergris bloom with clean, radiant warmth. In sweltering summer heat, the dense caramel and dairy notes would easily choke out a small room. Two sprays are plenty.
Who is this really for? Gourmand devotees tired of plain vanilla pastries will find a refreshing creative thrill here. Because the coffee carries a realistic roasted depth and the ambergris adds an animalic edge, the blend never feels overly youthful or juvenile. It works wonderfully for casual weekend walks, quiet coffee shop reading sessions, or informal evening hangouts with close friends. If you work in a conservative, scent-free medical clinic or tight office cubicle, the projection might be too bold. Spray thirty minutes before arriving.
Eccentricity lives up to its quirky name without becoming unwearable. Jakub Pietrynka took classic crowd-pleasers like coconut, caramel, and cappuccino and twisted them into an intriguing, savory gourmand using ambergris and clean musk. It is not an everyday blind buy for the faint of heart. Buy a sample first if heavy dairy or animalic notes make you nervous. But for anyone craving an authentic, cozy dalgona coffee experience with serious staying power, this indie bottle is an absolute joy to own.
FAQs
What does the opening of Eccentricity smell like?+
The opening smells like melted caramel drizzled over toasted coconut flakes and sweet dark cherry juice. A brief five-minute flash of perfumer alcohol settles into a dense, sugary pastry shop aroma. You will also detect a faint floral touch of jasmine, but the rich caramel and fruit notes dominate the initial thirty minutes.
How does Eccentricity transition into its dry-down on skin?+
The fragrance transforms from a bright fruity caramel into a creamy cappuccino backed by salty, animalic ambergris. As the cherry and coconut dissipate after forty minutes, whipped butter, almond, and vanilla soften the roasted coffee beans. By hour four, warm sandalwood and ambergris create a cozy, less sugary skin scent.
How long does Eccentricity last on skin and clothing?+
Eccentricity lasts eight to ten hours on bare skin and over twenty-four hours on clothing. Its high concentration of perfume oils leaves a subtle sheen on application. Heavy base fixatives like musk, sandalwood, and ambergris adhere tenaciously to cotton and wool fabrics, surviving until your garment goes into the laundry.
What are the projection and sillage like for Eccentricity?+
Eccentricity projects moderately, creating a three to four foot scent bubble for the first two hours. After three hours, it settles to an intimate arm-length radius that leaves a noticeable trail when you move. It is potent enough to be noticed without suffocating an entire room if applied sparingly.
What season is best to wear Eccentricity?+
Eccentricity performs best in late autumn and winter when temperatures drop below fifteen degrees Celsius. Crisp, cold air cuts through the heavy lactonic butter and sweet caramel, allowing the roasted coffee and ambergris to radiate warmly. In high summer heat, the dense dairy and sugary accords can turn cloying.
What occasions are most suitable for wearing Eccentricity?+
Eccentricity is ideal for casual weekend outings, cozy coffee dates, and relaxed evenings at home. Its warm, gourmand nature fits casual social gatherings and dinner dates in cool weather. Because of its noticeable projection and sweet butter notes, it may be too distracting for conservative, scent-free office environments.
Is Eccentricity truly unisex or does it lean masculine or feminine?+
Eccentricity is a genuine unisex fragrance that balances sweet feminine gourmand notes with masculine woody and animalic bases. While the opening caramel, cherry, and coconut read playfully sweet, the heart of roasted coffee and the drydown of salty ambergris and sandalwood provide a grounded, gender-neutral finish on skin.
How does Eccentricity compare to Montale Ristretto Intense Cafe?+
Eccentricity is creamier and more lactonic than Montale Ristretto Intense Cafe, featuring butter and coconut rather than sharp rose. While Ristretto relies on a powerful blast of candied rose and synthetic vanilla coffee, Eccentricity feels more like a cozy bakery cappuccino with an unexpected salty ambergris drydown.
Is Eccentricity worth the price for a niche artisan perfume?+
Eccentricity delivers great value for niche collectors because its high oil concentration requires only two sprays per wear. Handcrafted by independent perfumer Jakub Pietrynka, it offers authentic coffee and ambergris facets rarely found in mass-market fragrances. A single fifty-milliliter bottle will easily last through multiple cold seasons.
What fragrance notes and families layer best with Eccentricity?+
Eccentricity layers exceptionally well with dry woody cedar, smoky tobacco, or bitter dark chocolate fragrances. Adding a dry cedar or smoky vetiver base cuts down the initial caramel and butter sweetness, emphasizing the roasted espresso beans. Avoid layering with heavy floral or citrus perfumes, which clash with the dense lactonic accords.

Dupes & Alternatives
COMMUNITY DUPESCOREIf you enjoy the creamy cafe vibe of Eccentricity, consider Masque Milano Madeleine for a sweeter, floral-laced chestnut pastry feel. Montale Ristretto Intense Cafe offers an alternative centered on candied rose and intense vanilla espresso, though it lacks the buttery lactonic depth found here. For fans wanting straight bitter coffee without any sugar or dairy, Akro Awake and Kerosene Follow deliver far darker roasted profiles.
