2) Tom Ford Café Rose Eau De Parfum

Tom Ford's Cafe Rose is a masculine and feminine chypre floral perfume. In 2012, Cafe Rose was officially launched.

The perfume delicately incorporates coffee notes to give depth and warmth to the typically ladylike rose. Accompanying the graceful rose note, the rich, indolic, civet-like coffee notes lend a touch of darkness and menace, which is intensified by the woodsy and patchouli undertones.

Saffron, a traditional Middle Eastern spice blend often used with rose, adds a touch of warmth and velvety richness to Café Noir.

Saffron, black pepper, and May rose form the top notes. The middle notes are Turkish rose, Bulgarian rose, and coffee. Finally, everything is tied together with base notes of incense, amber, sandalwood, and patchouli.

Price: $353.80 for 3.4 fl. oz./100 ml (Amazon)

The amber-colored fire flowers are held in this distinctive couture Libre bottle, which is created like a piece of couture jewelry with hints of gold.

The top notes of bergamot, mandarin, ginger, and saffron accord first draw your attention. Followed by the orange blossom, diva lavender heart, and lavandin heart tones that form the middle note.

The saffron-heavy Ambery Saffron (which takes its cue from MFK's Baccarat Rouge 540) gets off to a roaring start. Perfumers sometimes hesitate to use saffron due to its intensity, but this blend of spicy cedarwood and tempting amber makes up for it.
