Eau Sensuelle by Rochas

It smells fresh, is easy to wear and beautiful. As a splash of perfume, its longevity is moderate. For the price, it’s well worth having in your wardrobe.

VIBRANT SPRING The rain mentioned by María is that aquatic base that I also like and brings back vague childhood memories. Then there is the neroli flower, refined and sparkling, sweet and warm but with a citrusy base, like rubbing the hard petals of a lemon tree. The only drawback, though it could also be a virtue, is the enormous longevity of its sweet notes. Without them, the perfume would be too weak, unappreciable and short-lived. Apply moderately to extract the best: its refined neroli flower and its subtle aquatic touch, making it a pretty fragrance for spring and summer, for use outdoors. Because once that flat, un-oxygenated synthetic pink sweetness is noticed, it can become tiring. USE: Spring-summer / warm weather / day and night / suitable for daily wear / formal and informal / city (office) and countryside (village/outdoors). BOTTLE: A 7. It’s pretty like a whisky bottle, but not original. Although if there is one thing I like about brands, it is that they maintain their coherence. So, despite the fact that their classic bottle adds nothing new and is typical of grandmothers’ cupboards, they have managed to make young girls make space for the mythical bottle in their collections.

According to the house, it smells of skin after an evening storm over a floral terrace. I know it’s marketing, but in this case, they got it right. I don’t know what the sensual part of my skin smells like, but this fragrance reminds me of the scent of rain, especially in summer or early autumn (and this comes from a Galician, who knows quite a bit about rain and its lessons :D). Short longevity (up to 5 hours, mostly), nothing intrusive, quite floral, very pleasant and clean. Daytime use, suitable for all seasons but especially autumn (don’t ask why, it just is) and for any age.
