Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Rare but amazing scent, fruity with incredible depth, nothing like those cheap fruit bombs. Maybe it’s the amber and benzoin base. It lasts forever on my skin and people always ask about it. Surprisingly sweet, no sourness, smells like mango, and even though it only lists banana leaf, it smells like ripe banana to me. It’s like a tropical fruit compote steeped in resins. Worth trying for the price; it’s not well-known here, so you won’t smell like everyone else.
It smells strange, fruity but with a lot of depth, nothing like those simple fruit choulies or basic fruit scents, perhaps because the amber and styrax base gives it body. It lasts forever on me, I notice it all the time, and people ask about it. Surprising: it’s sweet, not acidic, I smell a lot of mango, and even though it only has banana leaf, it smells like ripe banana. It’s like a tropical fruit compote that has been macerating with resins. For the price, it’s worth trying; it’s not very well known here, so you won’t smell like anyone else.
Blind buy with great results: Muse is an amber floral, elegant and zero-intrusive. On my skin, it highlights a slight peach note, with more presence of narcissus, orange blossom, and delicate vanilla. Sillage and longevity are moderate, but it’s worth every minute.
Blind buy with great results. Muse is a delicious, elegant, amber floral fragrance that’s zero effort to wear. On my skin, it highlights a slight peach note; the narcissus, orange blossom, and delicate vanilla stand out more. The trail and longevity are moderate, but it’s worth every minute.
This fragrance is exactly what sometimes happens with blind buys: you see reviews and notes, think ‘I want this now,’ but buy it in winter and say ‘oh no, I don’t like it.’ You stash it away and pull it out in spring, and that’s when the magic happens. It’s super fruity, tropical, and sweet, with the banana leaf note giving it a unique exotic touch. Super delicious; I smell the vanilla and musk blending with the fruits; the cinnamon must be very subtle, almost unnoticeable.
This fragrance is what sometimes happens when you buy blind: you see the notes and think ‘I want it now!’, but when you try it cold, you say ‘oh no’. You put it away, and when you take it out in spring, the magic happens. It’s super fruity, tropical, and sweet; the banana leaf note gives it a different exotic touch. In short, super delicious, with vanilla and musk blending well with the fruits, and a very light, almost imperceptible cinnamon.
My favorite from Rochas, sweet and fruity, very different from the brand’s typical floral scents. The mango gives it a special touch. Perfect for spring and summer, though I think it’s wearable year-round.
My favorite from the Rochas family. It’s sweet and fruity, which sets it apart from the rest of the brand’s fragrances, which are extremely floral. I love the touch of mango. It seems perfect for spring and summer, though I think it’s generally very wearable.
