The review
Worth a try. That is where Extremely Strong lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Intense Cafe.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Intense Cafe's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $114 per 100ml it costs 37% less than Intense Cafe — the 6th cheapest of 8 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 Perfume Parlour 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
What it is chasing: coffee and rose up top, rose and white flowers in the middle, vanilla, amber and white musk underneath — the shape of Montale Intense Cafe.
Top
- coffee
- rose
Heart
- rose
- white flowers
Base
- vanilla
- amber
- white musk
For the one who wants a very sweet rose drizzled with vanilla and a whisper of coffee, cozy, creamy and unmistakably crowd-pleasing.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
