What does Café Rose (2023) smell like?

Rose and rose absolute form a floral backbone, while coffee, coriander and frankincense resin add a spicy, slightly bitter edge. Indonesian patchouli and sandalwood give it an earthy, woody base, and ylang-ylang brings sweetness and a powdery softness.

Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer chosen less often. Nights out and evenings lead, though it also works for leisure and daily wear. Longevity and sillage are rated good, and most voters read it as feminine. Guerlain Rose Amira and Les Parfums de Rosine Secrets de Rose have a close profile.
