MONTALE Intense Café Eau de Parfum 100 ml

Product Information

This fragrance is really very, very well done by Montale! For a Montale, it is even suitable for the masses! It is not often the case with this label... :)

Intense Café is an absurdly long-lasting perfume, almost too long-lasting. Two to three sprays will easily last on skin all day or more, and for weeks on clothes. This is the kind of fragrance that lasts through showers and survives even rigorous scrubbing.Da li je za moju Penelopu? Nije! Ali bar sam nesto probao sto me odusevilo, a za nju se nastavlja potraga! I can really recommend Intense Café. He gives me the feeling to bite (or here rather to drink up) to smell and holds the G A N Z E N day, is with me even after the shower sometimes still noticeable. ;-) Overall, the presentation of Montale Intense Caf é is unique, though it won’t be to everyone’s taste. Performance

Početak mu je gadan, a i predugo traje. Osećam oud, kao hladnu svežinu, gotovo medicinsko-metalnu, naspram odvratno slatkog džemasto-sirupastog mirisa ruže. Ima i neku tamniju notu za koju nikad ne bih rekla da je kafa, ali neka im bude. I to, tako gadno, predugo traje. Kao otrovno sladak džem/sirup/ratluk (čak i sve to zajedno) sa dodatom aromom ruže, koji niko ne bi probao, što zbog guste slatkoće, što zbog hladnog i mrvicu gorkastog mirisa ouda. Tek nakon sat vremena, probije se vanila, koja sa tamnijom notom iz baze (kažu da je kafa) da kremastu nijansu mirisu. Oud i očajna slatkoća povremeno iskoče, ali su dosta ublaženi. However, there are definitely benefits to the aluminium presentation. For one, they are not nearly as weighty as other heavy glass bottle presentations. They honestly feel so light that you might wonder if you got cheated – it doesn’t even feel like there’s a full bottle of juice hiding in there. But don’t fret – it’s there, and it’s so powerful that it’ll probably take you two lifetimes to get through. You can easily move these bottles around and even take them with you in your gym bag or purse. They’re not going to weigh you down like a glass bottle would. I have perfume-eating skin, but Intense Café gives me no problems on the longevity front whatsoever. If you want a long-lasting gourmand rose fragrance, this is the one that you’re after. Projection & Sillage I decided spontaneously for 2 other scents, was already on the way home by train, until I smelled both (about 30-40 minutes later) again!Finally, Grape Pearls by the House of Oud is quite similar to Intense Café, though it adds a fruity element in the form of grapes and blueberries. It also comes in an absolutely amazing bottle that looks like a swirly dragon egg. It is, of course, a bit more expensive than Intense Café at retail. This is a potent brew. As I’ve cautioned you already, any more than two or three sprays with this is overdoing it. Even three sprays is pushing it. If you go beyond that boundary, my friend, I can only say to you: “ Vaya con Dios“. Value For Money One very similar fragrance would have to be Ristretto Intense Café, a flanker of the original that amps up the coffee note, after numerous complaints that Intense Café wasn’t really that much of a coffee fragrance. I haven’t smelled Ristretto myself, but I’ve heard it’s quite good. As time goes on, the rose recedes somewhat, and the vanilla and coffee come up just a little bit more, but effectively, what you smell after around ten minutes after application is what you get: comfy, cozy, vanilla, amber, rose, and coffee.
