Which Should You Buy?
A comforting, easy-wearing rose and vanilla combo. Cafe Intense takes a little while to mature, with an intially dominant rose settling into a creamy, coffee-kissed vanilla aura. It's a crowd-pleasing, low-key scent for those who like their florals enveloped in warmth.
Divisive and mature, this is a love-it-or-hate-it rose. Some find it a photorealistic dream, others a 'car air freshener' or 'old granny' soap. Not for the faint of heart, or those under 50 according to a few.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
While some find it versatile, its strong, sometimes 'beast mode' projection and mature character make it less suitable for an office. It shines in formal settings due to its elegance, and can be worn casually if you prefer a noticeable scent.
