Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Café Rose Eau de Parfum

Café Rose is an opulent, dramatic take on rose, weaving Turkish and Bulgarian petals with deep coffee, spicy saffron, and smoky woods. Not for wallflowers, it commands attention with sensual confidence.

Statement

Our Verdict - Criminal of Love Eau de Parfum

This one's a passionate affair, not a casual fling. Criminal of Love is a dark, sensual rose-tobacco blend that polarises with its intensity. While some find it an intoxicating masterpiece, others are put off by its 'medicinal' opening. Definitely not for the faint of heart, or for the office, apparently.

Season and Occasion Fit

Café Rose Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

The dark, spicy, and opulent rose-coffee composition is best suited for cool to cold weather, where the rich warmth and incense shine; it may feel too heavy in summer but can work in spring's cooler days.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its pronounced, luxurious sillage and smoldering character make it ideal for romantic evenings and formal events, less so for the office or casual wear due to its complexity and statement presence.

Criminal of Love Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Formal

Given its strong projection and overtly sensual nature, this scent is entirely unsuitable for the office, as many reviewers agree. It shines brightest on dates or for special evening occasions where its captivating, dark intensity can truly be appreciated, making it a poor choice for casual wear or sport.
