As Valentine’s Day approaches, the quest for the perfect gift for your significant other begins. If you’re scratching your head over what to get, a fragrance is always a safe bet, but it’s even better when it smells like a luxury scent but doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket.
For those who adore Tom Ford’s Cafe Rose fragrance, you’ll know it comes with a hefty price tag of £108 for a 50ml bottle. But if you or your partner fancy something similar that’s kinder to your wallet, Miller Harris Rose En Noir could be your answer.

This means not only do you save on the fragrance itself, but you also pocket a cool £58 compared to buying the Tom Ford Cafe Rose. Both fragrances feature Turkish rose as their main scent, offering a warm, spicy, and woody aroma suitable for all genders. Here’s a breakdown of the key notes in both perfumes:.
Miller Harris Rose En Noir Top notes: Coriander, cumin, lemon leaf.

Both fragrances in question boast key notes such as Turkish rose, black pepper, coriander, and patchouli, which deliver a quite similar aromatic, spicy and sensual blend. It should be mentioned that these components reveal themselves differently within each scent, leading to subtle variances in the afternotes.

Nonetheless, both offer a divine mix of floral, spicy, and woody elements, resulting in a luxurious and sensual aroma—ideal for Valentine’s Day indulgences. The Miller Harris perfume has become a hit with buyers, with praise-filled reviews coming through.
One shopper wrote: “I prefer this perfume to the new Rose silence. it has a more woody smell and I get lots of comments whenever I wear it.”
While another shared: “Beautiful scent. Fabulous for day and night. Soft and spicy rich and heady but also has a freshness.”
And yet another fan endorsed: “Beautiful perfume, the depth of the fragrance lasts for a long time, and warms to my mood.”
Not everyone was enchanted, though, with one customer remarking: “I thought the perfume a little over powering for my taste. I would have requested a sample but as it was in the sale I didn’t think I would have time with royal mail over the holidays. This was my first purchase but I think I would choose something a little lighter.”
In preparation for Valentine’s Day, other brands are debuting rose-themed perfumes, including Jo Malone’s latest limited edition Taif Rose, which became available earlier this month. Retailing at £112 for 50ml, this fragrance melds tobacco and rose for a sumptuous scent underscored by a bouquet of florals, reports the Mirror.
For a more budget-friendly option, Who is Elijah’s Rebel Rose is flying off the shelves at £56 for a 50ml bottle. It shares similar scent notes with both the Tom Ford and Miller Harris fragrances, boasting a blend of rose, black pepper, cumin, violet and patchouli.
