Don't judge a book ...

Interesting little number this one.

The packaging is garish, tacky, and oh so 80s, when primary colours and bargain basement designs were so en vogue. I have to admit that if it wasn't for LT's enthusiasm for this fragrance I probably (foolishly) would have passed.

This is all about translucent roses and warm vanilla. An interesting combination, that makes it sexy and cuddly at the same time.

Don't know why but it brings a smile to my face and puts me in a good mood when I wear it.

Another rather interesting fact is that several people have told me that I leave a trail of yuminess as I walk about and that it smells stronger from a distance than up close.

surprising

Rose and vanilla together. A classic combo. So how on earth does it come to smell like sweet newspaper and acetone? And who would have thought that would be comfort food for the nose? I adore this.

Doesn't Work

On my skin, Tocade just doesn't work. After an initial promising whiff of Rose and Vanilla, it simply turns putrid, the top notes muddied instead of enhancing each other, the heart florals acrid. Only the base works for me, but its beauty is destroyed by the unfortunately potent rest. It actually reminds me of cleaning fluid in a freshly-mopped hospital corridor. Don't know how in the world they managed to destroy these notes, but to my nose they did. I see others love it, which shows how individual our noses are, but for me Tocade goes with the fragrances I never plan to wear.

I feel embraced on a snowy day

Did I need to wake up on another snowy, cold day to talk about this perfume? I guess so. It was much written about it and it was a long time since my bottle was left aside to keep company to some other ones that I am not using so much lately. Today I thought I needed the huge warm scent of Tocade to touch my skin with its vanilla and make me see " la vie en rose" with its dusty rose. It happens in such moments when the greatness of a perfume is demonstrated and, although in the eau de toilette version, the scent is long lasting and with great projection.
Instead of a snow blizzard, the scent sends flurries of flower petals on me, a carousel of joyful colors and instead of ice cold air it makes me feel hugged by a tender warmth. I feel blessed.

Warm and powdery vanilla

The first time I smelt Tocade was from the bottle, and let me tell you it was not a pleasant experience. My first impression was that it smelt strong and medicinal, not at all sweet or feminine. A friend sent me a decant of Tocade a few months ago and it took me this long to be game enough to try it on the skin.

How glad I am that I gave this fragrance a chance. On the skin, Tocade becomes a warm and powdery vanilla, soft and delicate.

I find similarities between this fragrance, Hypnotic Poison by Dior and L'eau par Kenzo eau Indigo, which I love.

Tocade's baby-powdery softness is surprisingly light and clean on the skin. The loud, outrageous bottle design and the dark, richness of the liquid seemed to suggest otherwise. The word pretty actually comes to mind as I smell this wondrous fragrance.

It's difficult to pinpoint any particular notes in Tocade, they all seem to blend together quite well. Obviously the vanilla is the most dominant note, however I guess there are subtle hints of the white florals and patchouli every now and then.

The drydown is lovely; musky woods and creamy vanilla. The sillage is actually very intimate so this is not a fragrance sure to offend anyone. On that point however, I do wish that the scent was that little bit stronger. I wanted to share the scent with the people around me.
