Coffee and rose are the whole story of Ristretto Intense Café, a gourmand from Montale released in 2019. Everyone who describes it calls it gourmand, about half add floral, and a quarter pick out wood, musk or amber.

It opens with coffee and a dark red rose side by side, so the first impression is bitter-sweet rather than sugary. The heart deepens the roast with roasted coffee beans against French rose and a touch of woody notes, keeping the floral from going soft. The base is the dessert course: caramel and vanilla over amber, with white musk smoothing it into a warm, slightly creamy drydown.

It is worn by anyone. About half of wearers report it as long lasting and nearly a third call it eternal, with sillage that is mostly strong. Winter and autumn are the seasons people vote for, and it is voted mainly for night. It suits cold evenings and anyone who likes the smell of a café as a fragrance, with a rose to keep it from being pure coffee.
