Mademoiselle Rochas Couture by Rochas

Smells rich, perfect for everyday office wear, especially in summer. It’s similar to Carolina Herrera’s GG but fruitier, sweeter, and more youthful. I don’t see it as a night-out scent. I own it, but when I run out, I won’t be buying it again.

I love it, I love it, I love it; it’s one of mine. This little perfume and my skin became best friends. I use it in winter; in fact, I’m already on my third bottle since I discovered it. I won’t talk about notes—its sweetness and creaminess leave a very feminine and beautiful trail. It falls in the same line as Trussardi’s Sound of Donna, though they aren’t identical.

Finally tried it. At first I thought it was a dupe for Poison Girl but fresher, with green apple that’s almost imperceptible in PG but stands out here. Then it fades and resembles the spicy part of PG, but less than the EDT, because the quality makes it evaporate quickly. The notes lose their punch and get disordered until the dry down, which is very similar to GG, with that soapy aroma. In short, it’s a softer, more delicate, or emotionally ‘sweet’ GG. For the price, it’s great, maybe I’ll add it for daily wear.

At first, there’s a fruity opening, but within seconds, I perceive a floral note that became huge. I think it’s heliotrope, which I don’t quite like. After a while, this note fades partially, leaving the tonka bean and musk scent, which I find much more friendly to my nose; I prefer the dry-down over the opening. By the end of the day, it feels like a musky aroma with more balanced touches of sandalwood and some musk. I feel it’s better for cooler days, as the perfume’s sweetness doesn’t suit hot climates and can become overwhelming. It can be used both day and night; it’s not necessarily a “seductive” perfume, though it is flirtatious in an innocent way, so I see no problem wearing it daily. Its longevity isn’t my favorite, as it lasted about 4 hours on me, which I consider quite poor for an EDP. Even though I liked this perfume, I feel it fell short and something doesn’t fully convince me. On the plus side, it’s an uncommon, romantic, and sophisticated scent, but for my taste, the floral notes dominate the entire fragrance to the point where they became annoying, which is a shame because it has a beautiful presentation. I must say my mom loved it, and it suits her better than it does me.

I didn’t like it… it’s not bad quality, just not my taste. Very Good Girl by Carolina Herrera style, quite spicy, perhaps oriental and nocturnal. Lots of tonka bean and sandalwood… don’t buy blindly.

Just received it… I already used it in Paris and now I’m buying it again. It’s sophisticated, not just any sweet scent; you can tell it’s high quality and unique. It doesn’t clog up the senses like other EDPs (LVEB, Valentino Donna…). I recommend it a thousand times; anyone who wears it will have people stopping them to ask what perfume they’re wearing.

It was a blind buy; I was on a good streak, but this was the exception. Based on my taste, I imagined a different scent, and this gave me a headache. It has a soapy note from the start that mixes with strong tonka bean, leading into a floral, probably heliotrope. You can detect patchouli or vanilla, something sweet. After 10 minutes, the intensity drops and the dry down resembles Opium Black or Good Girl by Carolina Herrera, but more metallic. For lovers of those perfumes, it might be a good option. It has good longevity. I wouldn’t mind smelling it on someone else, but not on myself.

It’s almost the only sweet one I can handle, exactly what I was looking for: sweet but not overwhelming. Nailed it! If I were a man, I’d follow this trail down the street; it’s so sexy and attractive. Oh my god, what a dream!
