It is mostly coffee and rose with an underlying bit of woods and a slight sweetness. Ristretto is a lot more of a punch in the face than the regular Intense Cafe. It is also a little bit less smooth and creamy. The opening is delectable, elegant, very sweet, gourmand, bright, intense, and very pleasant. The coffee, roses, caramel, and vanilla are the opening most noticeable notes. The coffee note in this fragrance is evocative of Arabica, medium roast coffee, intense, projecting, and refined.
