The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1960, Madame Rochas by Guy Robert is a Floral Aldehyde fragrance that embodies the elegance and complexity of its time. The composition opens with aldehydes and green notes, creating an immediate sense of freshness and crispness. This gives way to a heart filled with delicate florals like neroli, honeysuckle, and orange blossom, which are balanced by the earthy richness of iris and orris root. In the base, oakmoss, sandalwood, vetiver, and musk provide a warm and powdery finish that lingers softly on the skin.
One or two sprays on pulse points are sufficient. The aldehydic top notes dissipate quickly, so it's the base notes that carry the fragrance throughout the day. It reads best close to skin rather than projecting into a room.
