What does Mademoiselle Rochas In Black smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, though both ratings rest on only a few votes. There are no season or occasion votes to go on, so those stay open; it reads feminine.

Up top, the slightly bitter edge of black tea meets the fruity brightness of bergamot and blackberry. In the heart, hawthorn and rose build the floral side while black leather adds a leathery edge. The base of oakmoss, ambroxan and vanilla settles into a sweet, woody, chypre foundation, with oriental and synthetic tones running through the accords. Jean-Pierre Sand Belluna Rosaline and Giorgio Beverly Hills Giorgio (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
