Someone else on Fragrantica compared this to Jeux de Peau by Serge Lutens.
Smells like a good darn capuccino to start your day as the sun rises (also, hello, Ernest Hemingway reference?) Much more buttery in texture to the nose and its hint of salt to Jeux de Peau as well, along with Soufflot being smoother. It doesn't feel as "cute" (lacking JdP's apricot jam note, or its coconut note) but a surprisingly masculine breakfast perfume. But it has JdP's exact cinnamon/star anise note. A well balanced gourmand, this is. And the tobacco note is quite cherry. Makes it much more smokey than JdP, however. For you, that may be a good thing.
I would definitely buy a bottle of Soufflot when a sale happens. I would not buy it for $369 but for $299AUD, perhaps. As someone who was brought into the world of perfumes thanks to Jeux de Peau, would Soufflot be considered signature scent worthy?
