The review

On paper, Café Rose is a strong bet if you want Café Rose for less.

Palermo Perfumes 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 $23 it costs 86% less than Café Rose.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes 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

The original opens on saffron, black pepper and pink pepper, turns to rose, may rose and Turkish Rose, and settles into sandalwood, patchouli and amber. That is the brief Café Rose is working from.

Top

  • saffron
  • black pepper
  • pink pepper

Heart

  • rose
  • may rose
  • Turkish Rose

Base

  • sandalwood
  • patchouli
  • 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.
