Cloying thick ROSE!!!

If you were there, be ware. This is not intense cafe at all, This is intense rose.

Cloying and might be choking. a layer of oil on my wrist, it fills a room easily yet it is too sweet and hard to accept and I had to wash my hand many times.

It's not unisex as well, this is made for women, I cannot tolerate the amount of sweetness and rose petals in it also it smells exactly like Mancera Roses Vanille.

If you're looking for something gourmand and kinda have a bit of coffee vibe then check Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo, it doesn't have a coffee note but it has the vibe of it.

Intense Rose, that is

A truly beautiful perfume, but unfortunately also a victim of its uninspired naming.

Coffee smell lovers will probably be disappointed by Intense Cafe - the coffee note here is very discreet and very well-blended into the scent. It's all but imperceptible really.

However, I will judge this perfume based on how it smells and not what it's called. As a rose scent, it's glorious. The rose note is lush, rich, velvety and sweet, almost slipping into gourmand territory while still retaining its freshness. The creamy soft vanilla in which it's dipped gives it a clear feminine bent. Also, despite not being listed in the notes, Intense Cafe has quite an apparent oud note that confers some darkness and Oriental depth.

But what I love most about this scent is how alive it feels when worn on skin and how satisfying it proves as the day goes by. There's wet red roses for floral lovers, there's oud, amber and musk for oriental lovers, there's a sugary vanilla sweetness for the gourmands - it's really foolproof as far as I'm concerned. Needless to say, longevity and projection are both just perfect. I could never imagine regretting my choice for the day or wanting to change my perfume midday as it happened to me with other scents.

A versatile and satisfying rose.

Who would have guessed that Rose and Coffee go so well together?

This scent smells great right from the opening and stays that way. I was totally surprised how well the rose and coffee accords blend together. The vanilla accord completes the heavenly trinity of scents that keep me coming back for more and more sniffs throughout the day. If you like Rose flavored lattes, you will love this scent. I will say this perfume leans heavily on the female side, but I would still rock this as a man.

Excuse me, can I have another shot of espresso?

Titles give us a certain expectation of it's contents. This fragrance was well delivered, but I wanted something more from it. Coffee is the most fleeting note and by the same token, the very note that would have kept Intense Cafe a unisex fragrance. Unfortunately for me, after the coffee flees the scene I'm left with rose, amber and vanilla which evolves quite femininely. A vanilla latte decorated in rose petals. While I enjoyed Intense Cafe, I'd prefer it on the skin of a woman.

Coffee

This is one of Montale best gourmand fragrances, if coffee is what you want then this is it. Don't be confused this is not your average coffee scents. The rose in this play very nice , just enough to make it not your every day coffee scents. this thing is a beast that will last days on your skin with a nice sillage. dont overspray and this thing with get you compliments throughout the day.... Nice job Montale....
