The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Café Rose by Tom Ford, launched in 2012, is an olfactory blend that captures the essence of a sophisticated café atmosphere. Perfumer Antoine Lie has crafted a composition where may rose and Turkish rose form the heart, while coffee and black pepper add warmth and complexity. The base notes of patchouli and amber create a smoky, balsamic finish that lingers long after the initial burst of floral and spicy aromas.

How to wear it

Apply one to two sprays for optimal wear. The spicy top notes are bright but short-lived, while the woody base notes develop over time, making it ideal for daytime or evening wear.
