About
Femme Rochas by Rochas is a Chypre Fruity fragrance for women. Femme Rochas was launched in 1944. The nose behind this fragrance is Edmond Roudnitska. Top notes are Plum, Peach, Cinnamon, Apricot, Brazilian Rosewood, Bergamot and Lemon; middle notes are Cloves, Carnation, Ylang-Ylang, Rose, Rosemary, Iris and Jasmine; base notes are Oakmoss, Leather, Benzoin, Amber, Patchouli, Musk and Vanilla. Edmond Roudnitska made Femme Rochas in Paris during the War in 1943. Femme represents a real masterpiece with its warmth of a woman’s gentle skin and dense note of plum. The composition is based on the harmony of aldehides, fruit, wood, and musk notes. The dryness of chypre notes is softened by the purple plum. The richness of tropical fruits is followed by the rich scent of sandal. Femme Rochas is a splendid perfume which is not aimed at every person, more at a femme fatale. The perfume was reconstructed in 1989 and has become lighter and more gourmand thanks to the peach note in harmony with plum. The notes are: bergamot, peach, pear, rose, an immortal, jasmine, ylang-ylang, grey amber, musk, oakmoss and sandal. The lovely bottle recalls a woman's curves.
