Café Rose (2012)

It opens with May rose, black pepper and saffron, where the floral side is sharpened by spice. In the heart, Bulgarian and Turkish rose meet coffee and the scent turns sweeter. As it dries, frankincense, patchouli, sandalwood and amber form a woody, oriental, slightly powdery base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, then winter and spring, with summer well behind. It is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out. Voters tend to read it as feminine, though a fair share call it masculine. Dark Pleasure and Ambre Nuit have a close profile.
