Perfume Parlour Rich Roast is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Rich Roast opens with Rose and Coffee, settles into a heart of Woody, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vanilla, and Caramel. Perfume Parlour's Rich Roast carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Rich Roast chases Montale Ristretto Intense Cafe's jammy-rose-and-caramel-coffee signature. It nails the cosy gourmand DNA on a budget, though community feedback notes the coffee reads softer - closer to the original Intense Cafe than the more coffee-forward Ristretto.

About

Rich Roast opens on a sweet, jammy Turkey red rose laced with coffee, mirroring the caramel-macchiato-and-rose start of Montale Ristretto Intense Cafe. The heart deepens with roasted coffee beans, more rose and a touch of woody notes, before a thoroughly gourmand base of vanilla, caramel, white musk and amber takes over - all toffee syrup and cosy warmth. Where the Montale builds to a pronounced, creamy coffee crescendo, this budget version keeps the coffee softer and the sweetness forward, so reviewers say it leans closer to the original Intense Cafe than the coffee-heavy Ristretto. Projection is moderate to good and longevity is good at six to eight hours, short of the extrait original's marathon staying power. It is a sweet, sensual rose-coffee gourmand for cool-weather dates and evenings, and an affordable way to enjoy the much-loved Montale cafe DNA.
