Hello to everyone, but mostly to everyone who passed over Tom Ford Cafe Rose the first time around, but is coming back to it now.
Like I always say, nothing beats the satisfaction of being right.I haven’t smelled the new version yet, but this one is with a sweet rose, an earthy patchouli, and an accord adjacent to coffee grounds. It’s nothing ground-breaking or overly fancy, but it was the rose-patchouli scent for the Tom Ford counter, and offered something more feminine than Noir de Noir, which never worked on my skin. I love the dryness of this version.
The rose is like dried red rose-petals, the base settles to a dry sandalwood that’s mostly just left on skin. For a rose-patchouli, this one doesn’t project too much and isn’t too loud, and I love that about it.My bottle is half-full and I went through a time when I wore this at the end of my day, every single day. And then I put it away because it was running out, but I don’t worry about that anymore. Follow your nose, wear what you love, and if you love it, buy it because it might be gone one day, or they’ll reformulate it.
