Ristretto Intense Café
Montale Ristretto Intense Café is a fragrance launched in 2019. Ristretto Intense Café opens with Rose and Coffee, settles into a heart of Woody, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vanilla, and Caramel. Montale's Ristretto Intense Café carries an Acquired verdict, a coffee-led wear.
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Best Occasions
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.
