Rococo - more beautiful than I thought
A few years ago, I got a new colleague. When my boss introduced him, I thought, oh, he’s nice and definitely gay. I was looking forward to working with him, as I had spent many years with two gay colleagues who were like big brothers to me. Well, I’m rarely wrong about people, but here I was completely off; the colleague was only nice when his world was in order, meaning he was either euphoric or in a bad mood. He wasn’t gay either (I’m still not convinced), he was married, although not happily (his malicious comments about his wife suggested that), and in his behavior, he was more feminine than any woman. After a week, he stocked the men’s restroom with air freshener and disinfectant (I know this because the male colleagues gossiped about it and he got the costs from me out of the cash register), he knew 1000 shoe brands, became hysterical over trivial matters, owned countless different creams, gave me a lecture on how important it is to moisturize your feet twice a day, and he even threw a hole punch once. No, he wasn’t nice; when I laughed with the boss in the hallway, I was a sycophant, our boss said, “Mrs. C., that was good work,” he mumbled: “Women have it easy.” A colleague said years later, if he had been gay, I might have liked him.

Sorry for the long preamble, but this story belongs to Rococo, as I had a long-standing aversion to this scent because this colleague wore it in overdose. For a while, we shared an office, and sometimes I wanted to shout to visitors and colleagues: No, no, please believe me, I don’t smell like that, it’s him!

While cleaning up recently, I came across a small box containing some older samples, including Rococo. Spontaneously, I wanted to give this sample to my niece, but then I decided to spray it on myself. Oh, not so bad at all. It starts off floral and very spicy, but also fruity; I can smell the pineapple. On my wrist, it has an oriental, heavy, and very sweet scent; Rococo is opulent and sensual. The fragrance lasts for several hours, the longevity is enormous, and the sillage is strong. An animalistic scent that is probably best worn in winter.

In summer and overdosed by the colleague, Rococo, like any opulent fragrance, is simply hard to bear. But I had to revise my opinion; this is a good scent, although too sweet for me, but in the right dosage, it’s quite beautiful. I also find it too sweet for men, but I might test it on my beloved.

Beautiful and Cheerful Memory of a Wonderful Friendship
My friend gifted me several samples of “Rococo.” I have received many gifts from my friend. Such friendships are immeasurably precious in themselves, gifts that one rarely receives in life, in my experience.
She was a true friend who simply liked me, and I liked her. We met during a trip to Rhodes, both happy and curious, wandering around the ancient ruins of Kamiros. We liked and understood each other from the very first moment. We had a lot of fun together, talked on the phone daily, and exchanged emails. We joked, gossiped, and giggled like teenagers. We always saw and felt something funny at the same time, which we could chatter and laugh about. But we also visited art exhibitions, museums with ancient art, castles, and palaces. We exchanged thoughts on art for hours, on culture, on ancient cultures. She knew a lot, had seen a lot. She had traveled the whole world. But my friend has been gone for 8 years now.
That is the reason why I have “Rococo” and why I like it so much.
Back then, however, the Rococo samples piled up with me; I didn’t use them. At that time, I was still infatuated with the first version of “Beautiful.” Perhaps my friend wanted to convey to me that “Rococo” would suit me better.
She was the sophisticated lady, always very elegant and slim. She herself preferred to wear the then very popular “Sun,” which she associated with a bittersweet memory of a past love. I found it too intrusive back then. Of course, I didn’t want to wear it because it was hers.
When it became clear where her journey would lead, I wore “Rococo” for her when I visited her. But at first, it felt completely foreign to me. Gradually, however, the feeling of theater wardrobes, costumes, powder, makeup, silk stockings emerged; Baroque-Rococo. I can describe “Rococo” as powdery with a fine floral mix.
And over time, I fell in love with Rococo. I know that I truly brought joy to my friend because I told her that she had given me wonderful samples of “Rococo.” I believe she would have left me a large bottle if it could still be bought. So she continued to send me samples for as long as she could.
Much later, I was able to buy a bottle relatively cheaply on the “bay.” It no longer contains much, and I use it very sparingly. I use it very rarely.
And I still feel that “Rococo” has something Baroque-Rococo about it. A scent that radiates great charm during the rare times I wear it, a charm I find hard to describe because it is inseparable from my personal connection. “Rococo” is sensual-erotic but not sexual; it is for flirting and the game of love. And especially for me, it is for the laughter, the carefree joy, and the time that my friend and I could share until the very last day.
And how right she was! When I look at it today and smell “Rococo,” I can only conclude that it is a subtle version of the floral perfumes that I love above all.

Bouquet à la Rokoko
Ginger is - or should I say was? - the dominant note in "Rococo." The scent is quite contradictory, both fresh and warm, bitter and sweet. In the top note, the fresh aspect of this perfume asserts itself. Classic rose and jasmine scents blend with ginger in the heart note. The base is then warm and long-lasting with patchouli and vanilla.
A few years ago, I owned this perfume; I found it smelled quite interesting and rather unique due to the presumably high ginger content.

Beautiful Sensual Fragrance for Women
Rococo truly smells seductive and very sensual. I would describe it as a heavy, very enticing, but not overpowering perfume.
You can smell the fragrance on the skin for a long time; it doesn't fade quickly.
It is an absolutely everyday-appropriate perfume, as despite its oriental and sensual touch, it is neither heavy nor intrusive, but very pleasant to wear.

Works even when it's cold outside
To envelop you in warmth.

It actually fits well for a summer evening. But just actually. For me, it's a wonderful warm floral scent without being overwhelming. With a bit of spice and little fruit.

Elegant, warm, soft with an excellent longevity.

Late summer and early autumn. Without chypre and not dry.

It's not that old, the fruity floral dance with chypre colors and indolic accords, yet clearly from another era.

Light, noble, bright-soft-ephemeral floral-powdery scent, very long-lasting, moderate sillage. Exquisite+ sigh; unfortunately getting more expensive.

Unexpectedly subtle, multifaceted floral oriental. Delicately infused with ginger spiciness & green freshness, on a spicy-chocolatey wood base.

100 versions of Homme are included, but they had to discontinue this one? You can like it or not, it was solidly made. HS PL Monster!

Fruity-floral-spicy. A very bright, almost glowing presence with many facets. It has always been very kind to me.

Rococo, you are a delicate veil of ginger-fresh floral notes, subtle fruity accents, and a sensually indolic base.
