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.

Warm and feminine
I really love this smell! A nice blend of rose, vanilla and an almost powdery quality to it. It' s subtle, sweet and warm. One of the most feminine parfumes around.

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.

90s floral oriental! Cheeky, playful, powdery, emancipated, amber-creamy, patchouli-moist, jeans and glitter shirt. Still fits today. Unretro.

1994. Mariah Carey sings rose-romantically, vanilla-loud, and orchid-rich "Without You." In the sweet audience, softened girl tears flow.

not too sweet at all, more powdery-floral, prominent rose notes, unfortunately no bellflower scent for me. Ends delicately vanilla. Spreads cheerfulness.

Wow, this one has slipped by me so far. Classically radiant, sensual floral melancholy. Warm fruity-vanilla, soft woody.

A masterpiece by Maurice Roucel.
Complex, powerful like a Brahms symphony, maybe the 3rd?
Roses, vanilla, superpower base.

Somehow difficult to describe. Creamy-floral, that fits. I think.

One of the most stunning lipstick scents I know. Tocade offers so much more. Flowers, wood, vanilla, and character.

Every time I wear this scent, I find it even more beautiful.
Floral-spicy classic with amazing sillage and longevity.
Nostalgically delicious.

Floral, powdery, elegant, sophisticated. Old? Retro? Contemporary niche perfumers clearly see it differently, just look at fragrance twins.
