it warms and comforts

I tried intense cafe a while ago.
It was definitely a very nice fragrance that, like it or not, made its mark on the perfumery world, unfortunately not my kind of scent.
Instead, having tried ristretto intense cafe, I was pleasantly impressed: the coffee that is more strongly perceptible makes it definitely more to my tastes and softens that sweetness that characterizes Intense Cafe.
A ristretto taken in a cafe surrounded by roses and sugary aromas, to breathing deeply all the aromas that are around us .
Appropriate for cooler seasons, it warms and comforts.

Ristretto Intense Cafe

Not the coffee scent I was hoping for. I don't get much coffee in this at all. Maybe 10% but even that could be a reach. To me it's a rose bomb. If you like rose fragrances I think you might like this. But if you're hoping for a coffee scent sadly this isn't it. Not a bad scent but not what I expected. If you're looking for a true Coffee scent I recommend Coffee Addict and "Espresso | Demeter Fragrance Library / The Library Of Fragrance"

The scent of a coffee-drinker's office.

Ristretto Intense Cafe smells just like my office. It's the perfume that greets me every morning when I open the door, put my bag on the desk, sigh and take a few moments to breathe and plan my day. During these moments, I inhale the fragrance of the potted roses on the windowsills and of all the coffees that have been prepared in this room day in, day out over the years. The coffee aroma worm on my neck and arms outside of this sanctuary envelops me in the comfort of safety and gives me the boost I need to make it peacefully through my day. Out of all the coffee perfumes I have tried, this is the one I would add to my collection.

Ristretto Intense Cafe miroase fix ca biroul meu. Este exact mirosul care ma intampina in fiecare dimineata cand deschid usa, imi asez geanta pe masa, oftez si stau cateva minute ca sa ma dezmeticesc inainte sa incep treaba. In acest rastimp, adulmec aroma celor multe cafele preparate de ani si ani de zile in aceasta odaie, aud zvonurile gandurilor contemplate inainte de a-mi intampina studentii, si percep adierea matasoasa a trandafirilor de pe pervaz. Aroma cafelei purtata pe gat si brate in afara acestei incinte, in afara acestui moment de ragaz, imi creaza o bula de pace in care plutesc tot restul zilei, sau cel putin pentru cele 5-6 ore cat tine. Minunat si vreau sa il adaug colectiei mele.

cozy and sweet

Ristretto intense cafe, is a perfume based on rose and coffee, creating a creamy accord, which at times is reminiscent of chocolate with coffee.
On my skin it's totally beast mode. Very strong. It stays on clothes for days.

It is not a perfume with much evolution, the entire life of the perfume is based on the combination of rose, vanilla and coffee.
vanilla takes the forefront in much of the perfume.

maybe a black oud would have made a difference. making the perfume darker and smokier.
Still, it's an incredible perfume and deserves a 9/10.

Love at first sniff - good floral coffee

I was debating between purchasing ristretto or intense cafe, and seeing how people say intense cafe doesn’t smell much of coffee , I’m glad with my decision.
I never had a rosy perfume , or a coffee one for that matter , so this review is probably gonna be helpful to first timers like me.
The moment I sprayed it, I got an amazing, black, coffee smell , with a very strong rosy scent.
Over the first hour, the coffee laid back, and roses became more dominant. After a few hours though , the rosy coffee scent became softer, sweeter, smoother, caramely, vanilly and delightful.
I love this scent. This is definitely a cold weather one, or if in the summer, an evening one. Not because it smells bad in hot weather necessarily , but because it’s very classy and heavy, in my humble opinion.
As for the classic montale scent, it is there , but very, very mild, I can barely sense it. That being said, if you don’t like it, you might get annoyed.
Overall, I recommend to never overspray with Montale, because the silage and longevity is great.
A great unisex. Very smooth, rosy, coffee scent, that on my skin becomes sweeter over time.
Definitely a winter staple to my expanding collection.
