The review
Espresso Petals scores 6.6 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Café Rose.
ALT 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 $82 per 100ml it costs 75% less than Café Rose — the 2nd cheapest of 7 twins we can price.
