I tested many and many times , but I can say that it doesn't work on me. It's a ladylike fragrance very elegant, but difficult to wear

Story 1  
A true lady
Do you know Madame Rochas? She is from when a true lady wore gloves, whenever she went outside the house - and long gloves at dinner parties. From when skirts were just below the knee. From when pearls were essential, just as much as earrings and hats. From when a lady wore stockings and a garterbelt. Even though the pantyhose had just been invented the year before in 1959 she would not consider buying a pair - such newfangled nonsense!
The beginning of the 60s is well represented in this magnificent classic fragrance. Not knowing that in less than a decade the world, the fashion and the lady would have changed completely. I adore Madame Rochas for its elegant expression. I always feel like wearing heels and hat when I wear this scent. I have the edc, the edt and parfum, and the parfum is something else. One of its kind. Guy Robert, who is the nose behind Calèche (which I really like), has created this beautiful scent which shows his huge talent for making good perfumes. So well balanced, so warm and so unforgettable.
I have an original 4,8ml. I worship and treasure it.

Mature classic
I will start off by saying that I'm 18 years old, and I love this scent. Madame Rochas is sophisticated, sensual, sexy and alluring. I was actually rather surprised that this had aldehydic notes, because to my nose I got a lot of spiciness and flowers.

The scent is warm and distinctive. It exudes elegance and control. When settled on the skin the scent becomes powdery, but not sharp or soapy. The scent maintains its spiciness from beginning to end.

I love that Madame Rochas manages to match the class and distinction of a Chanel fragrance, but still remains affordable.

While wearing this scent, I can guarantee that people will observe you for having impeccable taste. This scent defines you as a woman. Madame Rochas is a classic scent from the mid 1900's that every woman should have added to her collection.

Chypre, soap, aldehydes - great!
With Madame Rochas (1960) Parfum it was love at first smell. The fragrance just picked me up straight away. This combination of aldehydes, chypre and soapiness is really coherent, balanced and harmonious. Only the longevity could last a little longer at 6 to 7 hours. The sillage is pleasant and not too effervescent.

The top note starts green, citrusy and fresh with aldehydes and bergamot. The top note smells beautifully of soap, a sea of flowers and powder. I recognize iris, violet, rose water as well as jasmine blossoms. In the base, vetiver brings woody-balsamic notes to the fragrance. Amber adds a subtle tobacco aroma.

I should still have a few miniatures of this chypre firecracker in stock and hope that one or two of them perform better.
