  If it had more longevity, it would be perfection. Ideal for summer, it’s not intrusive or annoying, and both men and women ask me about the fragrance.

  If it had more longevity, it would be the thing. It’s summer in a bottle. It doesn’t invade, it doesn’t annoy, and both men and women ask me what this smells like.

  The fall of Rochas is evident. I’d been wanting to try it for a while because of the iris, which I usually like. After trying several summer versions of the classic Eau de Rochas, I already knew this wouldn’t be good and indeed it isn’t. Songe de Iris is bottled floor cleaner. The fact that it lacks nuances isn’t a drama given the price, but the finish, the bottle, and the overall image must be good, whether it costs ten or a hundred. It’s not about whether you like the notes, if it’s your style, or if it’s water or extract, but about composure and craftsmanship. It’s a compact mass of lemony citrus with a lemon mistletoe finish, because I don’t smell bergamot but something that moves between the sourness of a lemony lime or a phosphorescent limoncello shot, some very abstract sour floral memory, and a chocolate that more than cocoa has a greasy air of pelargonium or hibiscus thanks to the lotus, which is also usually such a bare flower. The iris, kill me if I noticed it, same with the bergamot… Songe de Iris is a perfume that demonstrates the deterioration Rochas is in.

  The decline of Rochas is evident from a mile away. I’d been wanting to try this EDT for a while because of the iris note, which I usually like. After trying several summer versions of the classic Eau de Rochas, I was already warned that this wouldn’t be good, and indeed, it isn’t. Songe de Iris smells like bottled floor cleaner. The fact that it lacks nuances isn’t a drama given the price, but the finish, the bottle, and the overall image of a fragrance must be good, whether it costs ten or a hundred euros. It’s not about whether you like the notes, if it’s your style, or if it’s a cologne or an extract. I’m talking about composure, craftsmanship… It’s a compact mass of lemony citrus with a lemon mistletoe finish, because I don’t smell bergamot, but something that moves between the sourness of a lemony lime or a phosphorescent limoncello shot, some very abstract sour floral memory, and a chocolate that more than cocoa has a greasy air of pelargonium or hibiscus thanks to the lotus, which is also usually such a bare flower.

  Honestly, I don’t get all the complaints about Spartacus; every nose is different. I fell in love with it for summer; even though it’s citrusy, it has that extra iris touch (one of my favorite notes) that, once it settles on the skin, blends with chocolate. On my skin, it’s like a red box bonbon, tipsy, with bitter and creamy chocolate, maybe praline, with a sour twist that recalls those initial citrus notes where bergamot stands out without being loud, giving freshness without killing the upcoming notes. Water lily adds lightness, freshness, and a crystal touch to that earthy and warm point of iris and cocoa, a perfect combination. The only thing that doesn’t work for me is its poor longevity compared to a cologne; you have to apply a lot, and 100ml don’t last long, especially if you don’t want to finish it quickly. It’s a comfort fragrance for summer; I wear it at home after a shower and before bed to enjoy it in all its splendor and just for myself, since the projection is much lower on the street.
