I have a serious issue with finishing perfumes, I always need to leave at least a few sprays in it so have tons of bottles that are like 99% done 🤣

Me too. There’s meant to be one called watermelon jam by oakcha that’s a good dupe but the shipping was expensive so I’ve not bought it! Perfume parlour did a dupe years ago but it was discontinued 😔

Did some travelling lately and indulged my addictions! Q by Dolce&Gabbana really surprised me, not something I’d usually go for but it’s lovely, fruity and musky if that makes sense and has decent longevity. Also picked up a small black opium, nor sure it’s me but will probably last well on a night out and fit in my bag! Any thoughts on it?

Another surprise was Jo Malone Marmalade, it’s like a fruity vetiver , I’m a big jo malone fan but didn’t think I’d go for this and I love it. And finally Biotherm body sprays, great deals and I liked all of them. Ok that’s my confession over 😛🤣. Misysin a new fix already 😛

Has anyone tried Tom Ford Cafe Rose? Wondering if it’s good ?
It’s meant to be unisex but it’s very feminine I think, I get the rose scent stronger than anything. I’ve got a sample of it but it’s not for me.

I have tried this - scent is not for me. I didn’t pick up any rose at all. On me the coriander note was really prominent and smelt quite soapy. Longevity was also poor .

funny how scents are so different on people and how skin chemistry comes into play .

I really liked it and bought a big bottle and then went off it and I'm not even sure why. I think it works better at this time of year so I'll go and try again. I just think it's a bit of an old lady smell.

For the price of the Tom ford id get the rose gourmand from Zara. Similar vibes but the Zara actually lasts on the skin. Tom ford notoriously bad performance on certain scents despite the price.

I absolutely LOVE the TF cafe rose. It's quite a "mature" scent I think, the rose disappears very quickly but it leaves behind a smoky/tobacco scent that I adore that somehow manages not to be heady/heavy - it's hard to describe. Makes me think of sitting outside a smoky cuban cafe with a huge bunch of pink scented roses on the bar. I adore it, but it's def not a summer perfume and not one I'd recommend blind buying.

I put the Cafe Rose on today after abandoning it for months and it's better than I remember! It's definitely going back in to my circulation.

I had a friend who was wearing it and I asked her if it was Victorias Secret she was wearing 😂 it seemed very similar, but I liked it

I have Vanilla 28 which has decent staying power.

Tell you what though - and this may have been obvious to everyone but me - the dark purple juice is a bugger on light coloured clothes. I decided to have a quick spray just as I was leaving the house last week. Brand new white t shirt. Looked down at myself an hour or so later to see tiny splotches all over me. Washed out, thankfully.

Yeah, I know I should spray before getting dressed, but my life usually doesn’t work out like that 😅
