Intense Cafe is a divisive fragrance with exceptional performance that leans heavily toward sweet rose rather than coffee despite its name. While many appreciate its compliment-generating power and longevity, others find the synthetic rose note overwhelming and nauseating, particularly on first application. It performs best with minimal application and benefits from being worn a few hours before social situations.
