Tom Ford Café Rose (2023) is a modern reinterpretation of rose, enriched with dark coffee and warm spices. It opens with Turkish rose and coffee, develops into a heart of Bulgarian rose, cardamom, patchouli, ylang-ylang, and coriander, and settles into a base of frankincense and sandalwood for a smoky, woody finish.
Professional Summary Description
