Bad, bad experience for me. Fifteen minutes after I put it on, Mr. kate8 and I said simultaneously: "Wow, Rochas makes some really good fragrances, but when they flop, they SUCK!" It was heavily,...

I too was pleasantly surprised by this one! Received from a wonderful swapper unsniffed, but it's definitely one of the nicest scents I own now! I do get a bit of the vanilla on drydown, myself,...

does Femme turn bad? I got a tiny flacon of this in the 80s after hearing it was a sexy classic. It smelled so bad in the bottle, and worse on me, that it is actually the only perfume I have ever...

Byzance is Ok, not great. women seem to notice if favorably. I like it the best of the Rochas.

UPDATE 8/15/03: I am lowering my overall rating from a 4 to a 3. Mr. kate8 loves it as much as ever, but I find it rather heavy and explosive, an hour or so after application, and the sweetness of...

Mystere de Rochas was introduced in 1978 and officially boasts notes of bergamot, tangerine and ylang-ylang on a base of vanilla, musk and amber. I finally had an opportunity to try this fragrance...

Thank goodness for generous MUAers who send samples!! :-) Lumiere had been on my to-try list forever, and alas, what a disappointment! It is overly sweet and cloying a la Jacques Fath's Yin.

This is the only scent that gets me complimented at all times. Tocade is a mixture of rose, amber and vanilla, and it just smells delicious! The smell reminds me of a thick white marshmallow or...

One of the most perfect fragrances ever (worn by the perfect Audrey Hepburn!). Notes include peach, plum rosewood, ylang-ylang, jasmine, may rose, clove, musk, amber, vanilla, patchouli and...

I used to like Madame Rochas back in the late 60's and 70's. It was a warm, sexy, very womanly scent. The bottles of both Rochas fragrances used to have a lace-covered look about them -- Femme was...

like a more subtle, refined version of caleche. elegant and unmistakeably french. none of the notes jump out, but there is a quiet sandalwood base.

This was a pleasant surprise. Alchimie is a warm, soft blend of florals infused with fruits and a sandalwood, vanilla and tonka bean base, but I wouldn't really call it vanillic. It's predominantly...

Byzance by Rochas is, unfortunately or otherwise for those who like it, an overlooked gem of French perfumery. Citrus, Turkish rose, cardamom, jasmine, and tuberose are masterfully blended in this...
