Which Should You Buy?
A budget take on Mind Games Prodigy. The bright rose veiled in milky vanilla with a creamy coffee-latte and spicy longoza twist captures the original's cosy-cafe gourmand-floral; this dupe loses some of Prodigy's extrait density and the lingering coffee nuance, wearing softer.
Café Rose is a divisive beast: an opulent, old-school rose-patchouli-spice blend that many adore for its vintage charm, while others find it a musty, disappointing shadow of its former self. Don't go in expecting coffee, mate.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The sweet rose-coffee-and-vanilla gourmand warmth is at its best in autumn and winter and into spring, feeling too rich for hot summer days.
Occasions
A cosy, sophisticated gourmand-floral built for evenings and dates that also suits relaxed daily wear; its sweetness is a lot for the office or sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its strong projection and enduring longevity make it less suitable for the office or casual wear. This is a scent for intimate dates and formal events, where its luxurious and slightly vintage character can truly shine.
