1. TOM FORD CAFÉ ROSE EAU DE PARFUM
Café Rose by Tom Ford is an Amber Floral fragrance for women. This velvety rose’s luxurious aroma feels modern and alluring thanks to a combination of warm spices and sweet coffee notes. Its dry, woody floral spirit will let you imagine a dark red rose rather than a baby pink one. The fashion house has updated the unisex Cafe Rose, originally launched in 2012 as part of their Private Blend collection (with a purple front), relaunching this warm rose aroma is now as part of their Signature line. The scent is very similar to their earlier one, but the main difference between the original and new Cafe Rose perfume is that the rose note is superior in the updated version, and the coffee note plays more of a supporting role. The top notes are Turkish Rose and Coffee; the middle notes are Bulgarian Rose, Patchouli, Cardamom, Coriander and Ylang-Ylang; while the base notes are Frankincense and Sandalwood.
2. GIVENCHY IRRESISTIBLE EAU DE PARFUM ROSE VELVET
Givenchy prepares to release Irresistible Givenchy Very Floral in early January 2024, adding a fresh addition to the collection initiated by 2020’s Irresistible Givenchy. Shifting from charm to boldness, Irresistible Very Floral provides a peek into the most daring aspect of the Irresistible line, according to the brand. Rose absolutely intertwines with textured white flowers, epitomizing audacity and exuding confidence. It promises an unexpected, fresh, deep, and warm floral bouquet. The blend of Rose Essential and Rose Centifolia de Grasse merges into a bouquet of white florals, releasing bright, radiant hints of ylang-ylang and jasmine sambac. The top note is Black Currant; the middle notes are Rose Water, Rose and Iris; whereas the base notes are Patchouli and Woodsy Notes.
