About this deal

The cozy nature of the scent makes it seem perfectly apropos for the cold, dark seasons where all you want to do is pull on a warm sweater and curl up with a cup of coffee and a nice book.

So: different than expected, but after testing the fragrance and wearing it several times, it will definitely be on my wish list, just the association of the cosiness I get with this fragrance because of the café atmosphere is enough for me to buy this perfume as a work of art in itself. Da li je za moju Penelopu? Nije! Ali bar sam nesto probao sto me odusevilo, a za nju se nastavlja potraga! Roses Vanille from Montale’s sister brand Mancera is also in a similar vein, though Roses Vanille omits the coffee note and is a bit sweeter.Quý khách vui lòng liên lạc với Vperfume thông quaHotline: 096 599 8668 (Zalo, Msn, Fb,Viber....)để được hỗ trợ. I now come more specifically to the fragrance: what do I get with Montale intense Café? In the beginning definitely the full blast coffee! But the fragrance continues to evolve :-) the coffee remains consistent with me all the time, but becomes more delicate and it also comes out a wonderful rose (which I actually can not stand) but never becomes too much! No dry stale rose, but rather a rose syrup! The fragrance is in my opinion not too sweet and thus very much unisex, which I can not say of Sensual Instinct so! The is much more feminine for me! But of course everyone should wear what pleases!

Sillage and durability are also top! Sprayed on at noon, I could still guess him in the morning the next day :-)Fans of jammy rose, like Lush’s Rose Jam, will likely find a lot to love here, though perhaps someone who favors darker, more serious roses like Portrait of a Ladywon’t be as keen. Fragrances like Roses Musk, Red Aoud, Chocolate Greedy, and Full Incense have been hailed as modern-day classics for years. Intense Café, released in 2013, is perhaps the most popular fragrance in the entire Montale lineup. But does it merit that reputation? Whether incorporating florals or musk, Montale perfumes fuse carefully sourced ingredients from the far reaches of the globe, allowing the individuality and exoticism of each element to stand out. You'll find notes of roasted coffee, rose and oakmoss as well as amber, lemon and bergamot. In its fragrances, Montale explores creative groupings of natural and exotic scents. High concentrations mean a couple of spritzes will last the course of the day. However, that doesn’t mean that confident men (like myself) who have an appreciation for roses couldn’t pull this one off with panache. After all, if your masculinity is so fragile as to fall apart if you smell like a flower, perhaps it’s time to reexamine how masculine you really are. When To Wear It

However, your love of Intense Café is definitely going to hinge upon your tolerance for rose. If you don’t like rose, STAY AWAY, because this is allllll about rose. Similarly, if you don’t like sweet, vanillic fragrances or have an aversion to musk, this is also not going to be for you. i had Intense Café on my list for a very very long time. I drink coffee very much, but do I want to smell like that? I asked myself that for a very long time and therefore postponed the blind buy for a long time! The opening is a blast of very intense pink, jammy rose, accompanied by somewhat sharp white musk (a hallmark of Montale fragrances) and vanilla. But pretty soon, the sharpness of the opening calms down considerably. At the end of the day though, the real value for money will always be up for you to decide. Who Would Like It I had already written in another commentary that I am a Montale fan...and one of the reasons is Intense Cafe!As far as gender goes, I think this fragrance is perfectly unisex, but the sad aversion most men have towards rose fragrances will probably make most people skew this towards the feminine end of the spectrum. And it’s definitely true that I would want to devour any woman wearing Intense Café with some fava beans and a nice Chianti. Two to three sprays gives me all-day, though not overly intense projection and arm’s length sillage.

The bottle for Intense Café is pretty nice. In terms of color, it’s a dark, rich purple (older bottles were coffee brown, but that is no longer the case) with gold accents. The name of the fragrance is printed in a little box at the bottom of the bottle, and the name “Montale Paris” is printed in gold in the middle. So the scent is not what I expected. I expected a real coffee smell, like the name says Instead, I don't get a coffee scent, but rather a café experience, i.e. a very extensive and complex scent that changes greatly over time on my skin and undergoes a history or a journey. Though the name of the fragrance implies that this will be a coffee fragrance, it really isn’t. To be sure, there is coffee lurking in the mix which reveals itself the closer that you press your nose into your skin. However, if you’re looking for an all-out, balls-to-the-wall coffee scent, this ain’t it. If you want something like that, I would suggest Kerosene’s Follow, Akro’s Awake, and Sebastiane’s Espresso Royale.Since its founding in 2003, French niche fragrance brand Montale has established itself as one of the most popular and successful niche producers in the industry. Overall, Montale Intense Café is a delightful gourmand fragrance based on rose, coffee, and vanilla that is creamy, smooth, cozy, and definitely delicious.
