Cafe-Cofinluxe

Café-Cofinluxe traces its corporate origins to Cofci, trading as Cofinluxe, created in Paris on 26 May 1976 as a business active in cosmetics, hygiene, perfumery and related products. Cofinluxe built a fragrance portfolio that included Café alongside Taxi, Watt and Thé. The Café line dates to 1978, with Café and Homme de Café released together around the morning ritual of drinking coffee. Café is the clearest fragrance theme associated with the brand identity. In 2012, Cofinluxe held the Salvador Dalí perfume licence and pursued a refreshed corporate image and communications strategy, including a new website aimed at a younger audience and emerging markets. After judicial reorganization proceedings opened in October 2023 and liquidation was ordered in December, the Paris commercial court approved a transfer plan in favor of SAS Création Beauté International on 15 December 2023. Café Parfums is now included in that company’s fragrance portfolio.
