If this fragrance were a thing, (other than a fragrance, I mean), it would be the original wallpapers Cole & Son base their designs on. Opulent, excessive yet still a bit stuffy for all their...

Tocade is so seamlessly and quietly blended that it almost does itself a disservice. None of its major components (rose, amber, vanilla) stands out in relief, which leads Tocade to feel chic but...

Unusual, cheerful, easy to wear, sweet rose scent with that bright lemony magnolia signature of Maurice Roucel's. Luca Turin decribes this synthetic rose note as "metallic," but to me it's...

I don't know what it was but I got enamored by this (like Turin!!) and bought a full bottle even though I was on a budget at the time. Sadly, I tired of it in a few weeks and used it less and less....

I received this fragrance in my late teens as a present and over 20 years later I still continue to buy it. It is absolutely classic but the scent never gets old. It is a scent that I come back...

I expected something sweet and liquor-ish from a rose/vanilla scent, but there are notes (my beloved cedar, geranium) that give this a slightly medicinal edge that prevents it from being cloying....

Luca Turin rated this a 5 star rose vanilla, and I do indeed get rose and vanilla, but in a bogged down treacly sweet amber base that mashes the whole thing, mixed with a heaping dose of powder. I...

I like the freshness of this. I agree it's unusual, but then it's nice to have different things in a fragrance wardrobe. Some days I like the intensity of my Guerlains, other days I just want...

I wanted to try Tocade, since it received such a rave review in Perfumes The Guide. A friend sent me a decant of it, knowing I like rose. I'm testing it for the 2nd time on this warm, humid...

I think it's sort of pleasant...in an interesting way. Reminds me of sweet tarts and vanilla rum. Also reminds me a little of shalima light, but better. This isn't something I'd normally want to...

I found a 3.4 oz bottle of this at Ross for $11.50. I'd never heard of the fragrance but I knew that Rochas is a fine perfumer, and at that price I couldn't not buy it. So glad I did, for I wasn't...

This smells old-fashioned, but not in a good way like the classics. I can't really pick out a distinct note that turns me off; it is just the whole composition. Notes (per TPC): top notes of...

If you want to smell like a woman and not a kid, Madame Rochas might be something you'd like to try. I enjoy wearing this because it's not a sweet scent but a subtle, sensual, spicy oriental that...

Eau fraiche! Fresh! Really fresh. Was launched in 1970,very natural, very clear fragrance, slightly reminiscent of Diorella. One of the best Eaux.

A deplorable sister of the omnipresent "Cool Water". If you like "Cool Water" - why not buy it for yourself- and why bother with second-rate copies marketed under the "feminine" label?

Strong. Can't think of anything else which could be compared to Tocade. Abstract flowery composition- well, come to think of it - I hate it as much as Amarige. Disgusting.
