The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2023, Café Rose by Tom Ford is an Oriental Floral fragrance created by perfumer Antoine Lie. The composition marries the rich aroma of Turkish and Bulgarian roses with the warmth of coffee, cardamom, and coriander. This creates a dynamic interplay between floral sweetness and spicy depth, grounded by woody notes like sandalwood and patchouli. The result is a scent that feels both familiar and luxurious, evoking the cozy comfort of a well-loved café.
Café Rose has a strong projection in its opening stages, so one or two sprays are sufficient. The fragrance develops over time, with the spicy notes fading into a rich base of woods and amber that lingers close to the skin throughout the day.
