Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Delox
If you're a devoted fan of sweet rose and coffee fragrances, Delox is a must-try. Many see it as a more refined, luxurious take on popular scents like Montale Intense Cafe, with honey adding a unique depth. Expect compliments and a scent bubble that lasts for ages.

Our Verdict - Ristretto Intense Café
This one's a Montale powerhouse, and it's certainly divisive. Some find it a delicious coffee-rose dream, while others are baffled by the lack of coffee and overwhelmed by the rose. Love it or hate it, its monstrous performance is undeniable.

Ristretto Intense Café

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its beastly projection and sweet, dense gourmand nature make it a poor fit for the office, where it could easily overwhelm. However, these same characteristics, especially the sensual rose and caramel, make it fantastic for dates or a statement evening out, particularly in colder weather.
