To be honest, I don’t understand the complaints about Spartacus; every nose is a world of its own. I fell in love with it when I tried it for summer heat. Although it’s citrusy, it has that extra touch of iris (one of my favourite notes) which, once it settles on the skin, blends with chocolate. On my skin, it’s like a red-box bonbon, tipsy, with bitter and creamy chocolate, perhaps praliné, with an acidic hint recalling those initial citrus notes where bergamot stands out without being shrill, giving freshness without killing the coming notes. Water lily adds lightness, freshness and a crystal touch to that earthy and warm point of iris and cacao, a perfect combination. The only thing that doesn’t work for me is its poor longevity compared to a cologne; you have to apply quite a lot and 100ml don’t last long, especially if you don’t want to finish it quickly. It’s a comfort fragrance for summer; I use it at home after a shower and before bed to enjoy it in all its splendour and for myself alone, as the projection is much lower on the street.

The fall of Rochas is evident. I’d been wanting to try it for a while because of the iris, which I usually like. After trying several summer versions of the classic Eau de Rochas, I already knew this wouldn’t be good and indeed it isn’t. Songe de Iris is a floor cleaner in a bottle. Not having nuances isn’t a drama given the price, but the finish, the shape and the overall image must be good, whether it costs ten or a hundred. It’s not about whether you like the notes, whether it’s your style or whether it’s water or extract, but about composure and craftsmanship. It’s a compact mass of lemony citrus with a lemon mistletoe finish, because I don’t smell bergamot but something that moves between the acidity of a lemoned lime or a phosphorescent limoncello shot, some very abstract sour floral memory and a chocolate that, more than cacao, has a greasy air of pelargonium or hibiscus thanks to the lotus, which is also usually such a bare flower. The iris, kill me if I noticed it, same with the bergamot… Songe de Iris is a perfume that demonstrates the deterioration in which Rochas is mired.

If it had more longevity it would be the thing. It’s summer in a bottle. It doesn’t invade, it doesn’t annoy, and both men and women ask me what this smells like.

If it had more longevity it would be perfection. Ideal for summer, it’s not intrusive or annoying, and both men and women ask me about the fragrance.
