ChypreWhat does Eau de Rochas (1970) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Bergamot, mandarin orange, lemon and basil give it a bright, lightly spicy opening. Carnation, patchouli, jasmine and rose lead the heart, while oakmoss, musk, sandalwood and amber set the scent on a woody, earthy base.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters recommend it for summer and spring, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Most read it as feminine, though a fair share find it masculine, so it sits somewhere in between. Rochas Eau de Rochas Homme and Dior Diorella have a close profile.
