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.

About
Yvresse (Champagne) by Yves Saint Laurent is a Chypre Fruity fragrance for women. Yvresse (Champagne) was launched in 1993. The nose behind this fragrance is Sophia Grojsman. Top notes are Peach, Nectarine, Apricot, Caraway, Anise and Mint; middle notes are Cinnamon, Litchi, Rose, Rose Oil, Carnation, Violet, Iris, Jasmine and Lily-of-the-Valley; base notes are Oakmoss, Amber, Benzoin, Vanilla, Patchouli, Styrax, Cedar, Musk, Vetiver and Coconut. Yvresse is a sparkly and dizzying fragrance. It was first named Champagne and was created in 1993. It is a fragrance suitable for all occasions and moods and absolutely meets the words of Napoleon: "I drink Champagne when I win, to celebrate... and I drink Champagne when I lose, for solace." This sharp floral-fruity fragrance is still not a classic chypre which demands time to open on the skin. Yvresse's composition sounds short enough, just like the full impact of Champagne: as soon as the brilliant top notes disappear, the scent wraps you with its warmth. The main notes are nectarine, anise, menthol, Otto rose, blue rose, litchi, oak moss, patchouli, vetiver. Yves Saint Laurent changed the name from Champagne to Yvresse because of lawsuits filed by French producers of the sparkling wine that originally bore the name.
