TOM FORD - The JARDIM NOIR COLLECTION - LAUNCH 2012
CAFÉ ROSE EDP
"The Jardin Noir collection explores the forbidden sides of four of perfumery's most
treasured blooms: narcissus, hyancinth, rose, and lily. Convention is abandoned and unexpected ingredients converge with
bewitching and intoxicating results. Iconic flowers fall open, dropping their
innocent facades to reveal the subversive beauty and fierce elegance they
normally keep hidden. Enticing. Exotic. Seductive. Cafe Rose descends
into a hidden labyrinth, where rose's fine breeding gives way to darker
pleasures."
CAFÉ ROSE EDP - Official olfactive notes are saffron, black pepper, may, Turquish and Bulgarian roses, coffee, incense, amber, sandalwood and patchouli.
It is a fragrance presented for both genders. I think it is a genius rose for men and a nice perfume for the ladies. Rich, delicate and powerful at the same time, it explores many types of roses and it adds a deliciously gourmet note of coffee. It is a classic construction, but a modern choice for men!
It is elegant and worth trying.
LYS FUME EDP - Official olfactive notes are Italian mandarine, black pepper, turmeric, nutmeg, white lily, ylang ylang, artemisia, rum, vanilla, labdanum, styrax and oak.
Much greater than Lys Carmin by Van Cleef & Arpels, which is an interesting perfume.
