Tom Ford Café Rose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Antoine Lie. Café Rose opens with Pepper and Saffron, settles into a heart of Rose and Coffee, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Incense. Tom Ford's Café Rose carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

Café Rose is an opulent, dramatic take on rose, weaving Turkish and Bulgarian petals with deep coffee, spicy saffron, and smoky woods. Not for wallflowers, it commands attention with sensual confidence.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The dark, spicy, and opulent rose-coffee composition is best suited for cool to cold weather, where the rich warmth and incense shine; it may feel too heavy in summer but can work in spring's cooler days.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its pronounced, luxurious sillage and smoldering character make it ideal for romantic evenings and formal events, less so for the office or casual wear due to its complexity and statement presence.

About

Café Rose Eau de Parfum is a beguiling and decadent floral oriental, where lush Turkish and Bulgarian roses swirl with the dark bitterness of coffee and saffron's golden heat. Pepper and coriander add a spicy shimmer to the opening, before incense, patchouli, and sandalwood envelop the senses in a velvet cloud. The drydown is rich and slightly powdery, with resonant woods and amber softening the edges. Café Rose is both provocative and elegant, leaving a lingering, mysterious trail that feels both intimate and boldly seductive.
