Tom Ford Cafe Rose Eau De Parfum 100ml

“Fragrance Description: Essences of rose and dark coffee reveal sensual depth, while ylang ylang exudes an opulent floralcy. Coriander, patchouli and cardamom infuse a spicy warmth to incense resin and sandalwood accords.” I received this sample through tiktok from Tom Ford, this is a more complicated Rose scent, the dark coffee and coriander, patchouli, and cardamom make this more of an intense Rose scent, this is not your grandmother’s rose scent. This is a fresh Rose scent accompanied with the coffee scent which made it like smelling roses but you definetely get the spices with it. This is another date night fragrance contender or girls night contender.

This is a very lush fragrance, very thankful that I stumbled upon this on Tiktok considering this is one of the more higher end fragrances that is special and quite expensive. This scent will make you feel special.

I was very happy to have received this free product from Influenster and Tom Ford for my honest review. While I love the scent, I do have somewhat mixed feelings about it. Had I not received a very complimentary remark from the spunky and charming phlebotomist drawing my blood yesterday morning, this might have been a completely different review. As I said, I love the scent, but initially I found it to be overpowering. I had to wait a long time for it to dry down and when it did, I could barely smell it at all. At first I thought it just didn’t have any staying power. And while that might in fact be an issue — I haven’t completely made my mind up about that — I also realized it may well be the perfect scent: something that stays with you, and other people notice, ... MoreI was very happy to have received this free product from Influenster and Tom Ford for my honest review.

As I said, I love the scent, but initially I found it to be overpowering. I had to wait a long time for it to dry down and when it did, I could barely smell it at all. At first I thought it just didn’t have any staying power. And while that might in fact be an issue — I haven’t completely made my mind up about that — I also realized it may well be the perfect scent: something that stays with you, and other people notice, but isn’t overpowering or cloying, especially to the wearer. It is indeed lovely. The rose is what came through to me; the coffee, not so much. The other ingredients blend more subtly to create a lovely, warm, cozy but sophisticated and inviting scent, and I have found myself spraying a little bit on during the day just because I like it so much and it made me feel good. So despite my mixed feelings, I do believe it’s absolutely worth a try, especially if you lean towards scents with a rose top note, as the smallest bottle is fairly reasonable for a luxury brand. The packaging and bottle are both simply elegant — as one would expect from Tom Ford — crafted in a bronze-y chrome rose, and will look lovely on anyone’s vanity or bureau.

This fragrance is described as a seductive and exciting experience, centered around the wild sensuality of a delicate rose blended with the unexpected scent of black coffee. Cafe Rose opens with the sweetness of delicate roses and the vitality of passionate black coffee.

The floral ylang ylang and luxurious floral scent transports us to the banks of delicate petals, with a gentle and seductive scent. Coriander, patchouli and cardamom impart spicy warmth, like the last rays of a sunset, warming the scent of agarwood and sandalwood.

The perfume bottle is exquisitely designed with vertical stripes throughout the bottle body and bottle cap to help us hold it firmly. The deep purple color of personality makes the perfume bottle more mysterious, combined with an extremely luxurious and attractive scent. Just the first sniff made me fall in love with it. Its fragrance helps you become more elegant, attractive and seductive. The fragrance lasts for a long time over 10 hours and the fragrance radiates for about 2 meters, so it is very suitable for solemn night parties or an important date. It helps you be more confident and shine before everyone. I love it so much!

“I received this product complimentary from Influenster and Tom Ford in exchange for my honest review” This product is said to capture the untamed sensuality of a refined rose infused with the unexpected twist of dark coffee. The key fragrance notes are Rose Essence, Rose Absolute and Coffee. I am a huge Tom Ford fragrance fan and collector and absolutely love every fragrance I have ever bought. This Parfum is a floral fragrance family/scent type. There are hints of Coriander, Patchouli, Cardamon, Ylang Ylang, Resin and Sandalwood. I would recommend this perfume to anyone who enjoys these notes. I spritzed in my normal areas of behind both my ears and my wrists. Initially, the scent went on strong. Immediately, I did not get coffee but did get patchouli.

Immediately, I did not get coffee but did get patchouli. After it dried down and settled into my skin I got the faint rose smell. However, the scent did not last long. Within 2 hours, I could no longer smell it anymore and needed to reapply again. While it lasted, it was a very sexy date night type or fragrance, perfect for fall! The packaging and bottle of this fragrance is just absolutely stunning and elegant, wouldn’t expect anything less from Tom Ford. The Parfum was housed in a beautiful sleek semi-transparent rosy pink bottle with a violent bronzed cap. This is a perfect size to take with you in your purse, travel or display on your vanity. My personaI rating is a 3 out of 5, merely because it’s not a fragrance I would gravitate towards, and I did not like that it did not have the longevity I expected from Tom Ford fragrances. This is definitely worth trying or at least testing if you are a Tom Ford fragrance fan, as fragrances settle different with each person’s body chemistry differently, so just because I did not like it with mine doesn’t mean it wouldn’t smell divine on yours!

Beautiful, confident, feminine rose

I was reading recently about how studies show that, on average, women say they're sorry more times in their lives than men do. This resonated as an understatement to me. After all we are taught to be assertive but only if it doesn't upset anyone. To be confident but not conceited. To achieve but not *too* much. We tend to over apologize and use qualifying language to soften ourselves to be less intimidating, less of who we really are. Studies can capture the spoken apologies but what about the apologies we don't verbalize? What about the things we do to our bodies, to our faces, to "look better"? How we curse our eyelashes for being short and straight or how we singe our hair with straighteners and dye because we feel like our kinky black hair is too different. We ... MoreI was reading recently about how studies show that, on average, women say they're sorry more times in their lives than men do. This resonated as an understatement to me. After all we are taught to be assertive but only if it doesn't upset anyone. To be confident but not conceited. To achieve but not *too* much. We tend to over apologize and use qualifying language to soften ourselves to be less intimidating, less of who we really are. Studies can capture the spoken apologies but what about the apologies we don't verbalize? What about the things we do to our bodies, to our faces, to "look better"? How we curse our eyelashes for being short and straight or how we singe our hair with straighteners and dye because we feel like our kinky black hair is too different. We straighten our hair with the harsh insults hurled at us in the schoolyard ringing in our ears. The beauty industry itself loves and profits from our insecurities, our feelings that we must apologize for our appearances. They seem to say "Do you want to apologize for your thin, short eyelashes? Here is a magical mascara that will fix them." And collectively we pay them billions of dollars a year because we want to apologize for our physical shortcomings.What does any of this have to do with a perfume review? The general zeitgeist of "feminine" fragrances exemplify the socialization that we qualify, not be aggressive. Fragrances considered feminine are usually soft, floral and inoffensive. It's rare to find a feminine fragrance that is unapologetic. Cafe Rose is one of the rare few. When the first spray hit my skin the only word that appeared in the blue sky of my mind was the word "unapologetic". It appeared written on a banner being pulled by a small airplane being piloted by a laughing woman who loved herself as she was: with short eyelashes, wonky eyebrows, fat rolls, cellulite, short legs, rough feet, crooked teeth and all.

Good, but try before you buy

I received the new TOM FORD CAFÉ ROSE edp for FREE from INFLUENSTER and TOM FORD in exchange for my honest opinion. I was so THRILLED to be part of this gifting as I am a fragrance enthusiast and have had my eyes on this new release for some time! I took time to play with the fragrance to give a thorough review.THE PACKAGING: First off, the packaging is gorgeous! The bottle is a sleek, slim, dark rose gold glass packaging that is aesthetically pleasing and will fit in any perfume tray with ease as the bottle’s design takes up very little space.THE JUICE: The words that come to mind are Unique, Dark, Warm, Spicy, Sensual and Mysterious… This is NOT a sweet scent, rather a warm spicy fragrancein.

The bottle is a sleek, slim, dark rose gold glass packaging that is aesthetically pleasing and will fit in any perfume tray with ease as the bottle’s design takes up very little space.THE JUICE: The words that come to mind are Unique, Dark, Warm, Spicy, Sensual and Mysterious… This is NOT a sweet scent, rather a warm spicy fragrancein. Due to minimal sweetness, I would categorize this as more unisex rather than leaning masculine or feminine. This fragrance is not what I was expecting based on the name. I was hoping to get a coffee / rose blast, but instead I got more of a distinct dry incense type spice probably from the cardamon. I feel like I smell orange spice although orange is not listed in the ingredients. The magic is in the dry down as the rose shines through in the end. I never got the coffee unfortunately which is I was most looking forward to. This is one of those fragrances that you just accept for what it is rather than trying to categorize it. It’s sort of perplexing why they chose this name with the way it smells, but I enjoy it for what it is.TO LAYER OR NOT TO LAYER: I have worn this on it’s own as it is a complex enough fragrance that is not easily identifiable and quite unique. Layering this with sweeter fragrances add depth and playfulness, especially those with sweet notes of vanilla or rose.WHEN TO WEAR: This fragrance is great for the fall / winter season and for cooler evenings when the wind is brisk. I would not wear this on a hot sunny day as it may be cloying. This is more of a special occasion / date night fragrance rather than a daily fragrance although if you love this profile, I could see someone making it their signature scent for the season. I will wear it on occasion when I feel like being more mysterious and illusive.PERFORMANCE: As far as projection, this is not a beast mode fragrance, rather a close encounter fragrance and longevity was about 4 - 6 hours so if you plan to make this your scent of the day, I would definitely spray my clothes as clothes will hold the fragrance all day. All in all, it isn’t my favorite fragrance, but I will wear it on occasion alone or layered depending on my mood.FINAL THOUGHTS: Although I enjoyed this fragrance journey, I don’t feel the name suits this fragrance. This is NOT A SAFE BLIND BUY. Definitely try before you buy.

Great fragrance for everyday!

This perfume starts out with a heady blast of spice. It reminded me of the Aesop Marrakech fragrance, the older formulation not the new one. It’s a nice blend of spices, definitely can smell the cardamom, that is slightly dry, very rich and warm (this is where I am getting most of the coffee profile), but not too heavy. Once the initial spice blast subsides, the rose starts to really come through. This is a rose that has several layers. The first rose is lush and full, the sort of peppery-sweet aroma of a rose in full bloom. It’s really lovely in tandem with the dry spice scent. Over time, it starts to shift and the main profile that keeps coming to mind is that of a lipstick rose—the lushness fades into an even drier layer that brings to mind that plasticky, ... MoreThis perfume starts out with a heady blast of spice.

Over time, it starts to shift and the main profile that keeps coming to mind is that of a lipstick rose—the lushness fades into an even drier layer that brings to mind that plasticky, lipsticky, generally pleasant but sort of generic smell. It could veer into grandma-smell territory, but for me, it retains enough of the spice to keep me interested. The longer I wear this, the more it finds its lasting ground in a fairly soft, light, and overall pleasing classic rich rose. The fragrance as a whole is much lighter than I would expect going by the notes listed. Performance is average—longevity is 3-4 hours on me, and sillage is quite moderate, not strong. Overall I do like this perfume, and I will keep wearing it. It feels romantic and also very wearable, I average 3 sprays when I apply and I could easily wear this to work without it projecting into other’s space, but still keeping a bit of an aura of cafe rose in my very close vicinity. Oh, and my teenage daughters both love this. I probably won’t restock when I run out, but I will keep wearing and enjoying the bottle I have!

Not for me but maybe for you.

I wanted a rose note perfume, this is my first purchase for myself of Tom Ford, I got my boyfriend the f****** fabulous and fell in love with the long lasting scent/ notes so I bought this one for myself because I’m a big fan of Tom Ford. I really wanted to love this, but I don’t think it's a fit. I tried loving it but the first spray is strong/excellent (exactly what I like) then it dies down into a smell that’s floral but coffe smell and that’s not my type, the issue I had was it wasn’t what I hoped for and after reading the reviews I had high expectations for it to last. I wore it for a couple hours and I couldn’t smell it anymore, the only thing that I really loved was the bottle, it’s beautiful and elegant.

I wish the rose notes were long lasting because to be honest I could only smell coffee on me after 2 hours then the smell disappeared. I’m really sad but I’ll give it a 3 stars for the bottle and maybe it isn’t a fit for me but maybe someone else. I will be returning it, I’m just unfortunate that it wasn’t my fit for perfume and spending 1 hour at the store picking it out and loved it the first spray but it’s not worth it for me. I really wanted to keep it. But this may be a perfume for you if you love the notes of light roses but a note of coffee / light spicy warmth. It’s definitely a more winter kind of scent or everyday wear for a more mature scent

Sickly Sweet🌹

I got a sample of this perfume with an order, and I absolutely hate it.I had really high hopes for this perfume as I have a Tom Ford lipstick which has one of the best formulas I've ever tried.Unfortunately, this love didn't extend to the brand's perfume.This perfume is supposed to smell like coffee and roses, but I don't smell the coffee at all. The rose scent is overwhelming, even though I only sprayed once, on my wrist. This smells like incense, or, in my boyfriend's words, "a cloying flower shop".This smells very, very sweet, and not in a good way. If I smelled this on someone, I'd assumed they'd gotten a body spray from the dollar store, not a $300 perfume.This perfume is relatively long-lasting: I sprayed it once this morning and I can still smell it ... MoreI got a sample of this perfume with an order, and I absolutely hate it.I had really high hopes for this perfume as I have a Tom Ford lipstick which has one of the best formulas I've ever tried.Unfortunately, this love didn't extend to the brand's perfume.This perfume is supposed to smell like coffee and roses, but I don't smell the coffee at all.

I highly recommend that instead of this.

Sophisticated Rose Scent

I received this item for free from Influenster and Tom Ford in return for my honest review. I’ve taken a few weeks to wear this scent so that I could give a well rounded review.Tom Ford has managed to capture the true "not so sweet" scent of roses in his reformation of Cafe Rose. The notes listed are..Top: Turkish rose, black coffee Heart: Bulgarian rose, ylang-ylang, patchouli, cardamom, coriander Base: incense, sandalwoodUpon first spraying this on my skin I am enveloped in roses, but not the delicate sweet pink rose. This is a peppery sharp, seductive, deep red rose. I don’t immediately think, "wow I also smell coffee" but I believe the peppery undertone could be the coffee mixing with the rose.

As the scent develops there’s a certain smoke and muskiness to it, yet the star of the show is that gorgeous rose. A few hours after spraying I do catch a whiff here and there of a faint roasted coffee scent, but again I believe it is more complimenting the rose than standing alone.I think this is a perfect year round scent, with a lighter spray used in the hotter months. There was no respraying needed throughout the day and the next morning I could still smell this beautiful scent on my skin.The packaging is absolutely gorgeous! The deep pinkish/rose color of the bottle tells you this isn’t some "light pink" rose hiding in the Smokey bottle.This is not a scent that you’ll smell on teens shopping at the fast fashion stores in your local mall. This is what you’ll smell when you pass the woman wearing 3ct Diamond studs in her ears, the perfectly vintage leather biker jacket, her low slung, worn jeans tucked into her Isabel Marant boots and a cashmere fitted turtleneck sweater. She’s effortlessly cool and chic and her expensive hobo doesn’t have any logos on it because she doesn’t need to show off her wealth. She exudes confidence and she wears her signature scent everyday because it’s so amazing she doesn’t need to change it up. It’s part of who she is, and Cafe Rose is THAT signature scent.
