intense cafe goes really with a male or female. smells masculine on a dude and smells feminine on a women. very warm scent the whole time while wearing, doesn’t freshen up or dull; so great for fall, winter, and spring. imagine an espresso bean with dark rose with that sturdy vanilla base. imagine a popular coffee shop in a french plaza with a floral blend coffee, early morning in the spring. absolutely amazing fragrance and well rounded. will be buying again from montale.
