ChypreWhat does Madame Rochas (1989) (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Fall and winter lead, with spring close behind, and evening and night out get the most votes. Most describe it as feminine and classic.
It opens with orange blossom, neroli, broom and honeysuckle, a fresh, green floral note. In the heart, jasmine, ylang-ylang, tuberose, Bulgarian rose and iris add a powdery softness. Vetiver, sandalwood and cedar give the base a woody footing, while musk and amber sweeten it slightly. Anaïs Anaïs and Fidji have a close profile.
