The review
Red Rose Cafe scores 6.1 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Café Rose.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Café Rose's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $110 per 100ml it costs 67% less than Café Rose — the 4th cheapest of 7 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Tom Ford Café Rose is saffron, black pepper and pink pepper at first, rose, may rose and Turkish Rose at its heart and sandalwood, patchouli and amber at the end. Alexandria Fragrances set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- saffron
- black pepper
- pink pepper
Heart
- rose
- may rose
- Turkish Rose
Base

- amber
Dark roses steeped in coffee and spice for a rich, intoxicating gourmand-floral with real depth.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
