Tom Ford Café Rose (2023) is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Antoine Lie. Café Rose (2023) opens with Rose and Coffee, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Ylang-Ylang, Cardamom, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Frankincense. Tom Ford's Café Rose (2023) carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Café Rose opens with a bold, almost jammy rose, quickly spiced up by cardamom and corianderto deliver a confident oriental flourish. As it settles, earthy patchouli and a touch of the elusive coffee note (if you're lucky) mingle with the ever-present rose. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of woody frankincense and creamy sandalwood, creating a warm, elegant and deeply rooted finish.
