For those who appreciate quality over quantity, the ristretto is a mark of culinary character- a short shot of espresso that delivers intense yet smooth flavor in a single sip. With Ristretto Intense Cafe, Montale refines their already beloved combination of robust coffee, lush rose, and warm vanilla with a richer, more concentrated version that pairs multiple facets of rose and coffee alongside a captivating sweet toffee note to increase both teh sophistication and the pure indulgence. Fans of the original will recognize the iconic coffee opening, but as is befitting the Ristretto version, the note is both smoother and darker, combining with a fresh, vegetal rose to produce an unexpectedly dry and refreshing top note. As the coffee softens, the lusher aspects of rose strike a sensuously familiar tone, while a vanillic white musk emerges, slightly sweetening the brew with just a hint of cream and sugar. For lovers of Intense Cafe looking for the next level as well as anyone seeking superb, sophisticated gourmand scents, Ristretto Intense Cafe is a demi-tasse of pure magic.

Sweet and warm

On me it turns into this sweet toffee/caramel, it’s very warm so it’s for the fall and winter in my opinion. The only reason for the 3 stars is because it didn’t last as long as other Montale perfumes have on me.

Made Me Buy A Full Size

I bought the full size of this as soon as I could after getting the sample. I don't like roses, but the take on coffee and roses made me roll my eyes to the back of my head. It's grounding, dark, and fresh at the same time. So lovely.

Not much cafe, too artificial

This has a nice coffee note but it doesn't stand out as much as the name suggests. It features a heavy synthetic rose scent that lasts through the day. It has a sweetness to it that doesn't sit right on my skin so I am glad I purchased the tester before a blind buy.
