Description
Rose-touched coffee wrapped in creamy vanilla and amber: a warm, sweet evening scent.
Released by Montale in 2013, Intense Café is a vanilla oriental gourmand that opens with soft floral notes before the coffee and rose arrive in the heart. The coffee reads more like a milky latte than a bitter espresso, with a darker, jammy rose alongside it. The drydown settles into vanilla, amber and white musk. It is sweet and cosy, and it has built a big following for evenings in the cooler months.
🍊 Top: Floral Notes
🌸 Heart: Rose · Coffee
🪵 Base: Amber · Vanilla · White Musk
Why you'll love it:
- ✅ Strong performance, with most reviewers describing the wear as long-lasting and the projection as strong
- ✅ A distinctive pairing of rose and creamy coffee that stands out from the usual vanilla gourmands
- ✅ Popular for evenings and nights out, and a favourite in autumn and winter
- ✅ Sold as unisex, for anyone who likes sweet, warm and enveloping scents
- ✅ Highly rated, with a 4.4 out of 5 score from more than 9,000 reviews on one retailer
Why sample first:
- 💸 A 100ml bottle costs around £125 at UK retailers
- 🔬 Sweet gourmands can be a lot, and this one projects strongly, so a couple of sprays go a long way. The coffee note is soft and milky rather than bitter, and the vanilla can turn sweeter on warm skin. A decant is the same juice as the bottle, so you can check it suits your skin before committing to 100ml
- 📦 Available in 1ml, 2ml, 5ml, 10ml & 30ml
Our promise:
- 💯 100% authentic, decanted from a genuine retail bottle into spray vials
- 🚀 Fast UK dispatch
- ❤️ Try a rich, creamy coffee and rose fragrance for yourself, from just £3.99
Does Intense Café smell like a coffee shop? Not exactly. The coffee is soft and milky, almost like a vanilla latte, and it is blended with rose and amber. If you want a sweet, warming scent with a hint of café rather than a bitter espresso, it is a good place to start.
