Cafe Intense or Rose Cafe?
I received a 10ml bottle of "Cafe Intenste by Montale" from a dear perfume seller as a thank you for my many perfume purchases
Until now, I always gave Montale a wide berth because I was too afraid of synthetics
In addition, although I love the scent of roses, it is often too synthetic for me in perfumes or unfortunately rather vintage (which I like less).
Now I was sitting there with my 10ml bottle and was totally excited.
I read "Cafe Intense" and thought to myself: "I love the taste of coffee, could be really great but could also be a synthetic water"...
Full of curiosity, I squirt a splash on the inside of my wrist...
Top note:
1 test: sniff carefully with my nose, but all I smelled was alcohol...
Ok, let's wait and see...
2 Test: This time I got closer and sniffed it and wow...a wonderful coffee note (not black espresso, just normal coffee but nice).
I sprayed another splash, because I have to sniff it out very carefully now, it could possibly be something interesting...
Waiting for the drydown, I was chatting with my partner when a beautiful rose emerged after about 10 minutes.
Another sniff...
Wooow what is that?
A beautiful, bright, fresh, young damask rose.
It really shines.
The most beautiful rose I have ever smelled in a perfume.
Simply gorgeous.
The coffee, on the other hand, fades into the background and lets the rose take center stage.
Another 10 minutes or so later, a very light but beautiful dark chocolate (not listed) emerges, which goes fantastically with the rose and the coffee.
Heart note:
A short time later, the dark chocolate recedes somewhat and the coffee emerges clearly again.
Mr. Coffee now shows himself anew, in a skillful dance, 1 to 1 with Mrs. Rose.
The two dance a beautiful tango together, Mr. Chocolate watches them from close up and applauds
You see, he changes very often at the beginning, which is very interesting.
Base note:
It becomes rounder and softer.
The dark chocolate (not listed) comes out a little more and now they are all sitting there together when, surprisingly, a very light rum note (also not listed) joins in.
Very nice!
Four and very balanced, it then remains.
Here and there, however, the beautiful rose flashes fully every now and then
The only unfortunate thing is that it has its own synthetic note all the time
I think that's a real shame, because without the synthetics it would be practically perfect (not as a coffee fragrance but as an oriental rose coffee)
The sillage is strong. So dose consciously.
The durability is very good, even in the evening (if you spray it on in the morning), it is still there, even if close to the body (with conscious dosing)
Secretly a beautiful, graceful unisex fragrance, which is really something different (because of the fresh, beautiful, young, radiant rose) but there are certainly in the category "coffee / rose", more beautiful or less synthetic fragrances, where the coffee has a little more priority, if you want coffee scents.
It should simply be called Rose Cafe
Summary:
I'm sitting in the Damascus Sea of Flowers, drinking a fresh, hot coffee and eating a piece of dark chocolate filled with rum while spraying a synthetic men's deodorant and the sun shines down on us.

The different facets of an aura
First of all, I have to say that I am absolutely not a fan of Mugler fragrances.
Unfortunately I can't do anything with the extremely sweet and strong Mugler DNA.
However, back when the EdP "Aura" by Thierry Mugler was launched,
impressed me the whole Drum & Dran around this Duft.
So I was ready to try it out...
I sprayed him generously and totally tense on the wrist and sniffed at it strongly.
At first I thought "wow" but seconds later it got soo bad that I couldn't stand it anymore and washed the perfume off my body with a lot of soap and water.
"What's that stuffy, breathtaking headache smell?" I thought
Yesterday, I was given a sample of perfume with an order.
It was Thierry Mugler's eau de parfum.
Tensely if I still can't smell him, I sprayed him carefully and smelled tensely.
I thought "wow" again but this time it stayed that way.
Again and again I smelled it, with the question in the back of my mind when the scent would turn into this stuffy bomb again, but no, I was thrilled.
And it's real.
A mixture of light and dark.
It shows in a wonderful way that there is not only one or the other, but everything like our aura consists of many different facets.
And in my opinion, this fragrance embodies this in an impressive way.
It smells bewitchingly sweet but not paper sweet like vanilla, orange blossom and a few secret flowers,
underlined by dark woods, fine spices and the green of a dense, dark, mystical forest.
A wonderful fragrance that brings the luminous aura of femininity to the forefront, but at the same time also reveals depth, mysticism and unpredictable darkness, which is just as much a part of it.
Perfect!!
I couldn't resist and ordered a 50ml EdP that was currently on sale.
Important is simply how I find this fragrance to be extremely economical to use,
because this is the only way it keeps its mysterious appearance and can also be worn during the day.
If you dose it over (everything that is over a spray with this strong fragrance), headaches are guaranteed and it then looks very sticking and intrusive.
(I make a good half in the neck and a half on the wrist)
The dose makes the poison!
