Sensual and sophisticated, Café Rose (2023) by Tom Ford is an intoxicating Oriental Floral fragrance that reimagines the timeless rose with a bold, unexpected twist. Crafted by perfumer Antoine Lie and launched in 2023, this unisex composition explores the darker, spiced side of florals—where the romance of rose meets the richness of roasted coffee and deep, resinous woods.
The fragrance opens with an arresting duality: lush Turkish rose petals steeped in the aromatic warmth of freshly brewed coffee, setting a mood of moody opulence. The heart deepens with a velvety blend of Bulgarian rose, sensual ylang-ylang, and earthy patchouli, spiced with cardamom and coriander—adding complexity, texture, and intrigue. In the base, sacred frankincense and smooth sandalwood offer a smoky, creamy finish that lingers with mysterious elegance.
Café Rose is a scent for those who command both intensity and intimacy. Bold yet refined, modern yet timeless, it’s a fragrance that speaks in whispers—and leaves an unforgettable impression.
