Mademoiselle Rochas Eau de Toilette by Rochas

It’s gorgeous. On my skin, it smells like a fantasy forest with fairies and animals under a bright sun and fresh breeze. It’s a lovely, tender perfume that I enjoy wearing daily; it has excellent longevity.

Mademoiselle EDT is a very fresh white floral; it smells clean, like freshly laundered clothes. I wear it on hot days and it projects quite well. You can detect quite a bit of musk and jasmine at the start. It’s not sweet or fruity; it’s a floral with a citrusy air. If you enjoy soapy scents but not the typical lemon, this is an excellent choice.

If Coco Mademoiselle is the queen, M.R. is her little wild daughter: fruity, with wildflowers, and then, like a tiny pink fairy singing and dancing, the cedar and benzoin appear with an unexpected, deep reflection. I like it because it reflects that ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’: all delicate pink but as strong as a cedar trunk. It’s perfect for a young girl, from the age of ten, but not for everyone; it’s for someone seeking innate elegance, fun, cheerful, extroverted yet with a rich inner world, dressed informally but with the purity of a paten. The day I become a mother, it would be ideal to introduce a smart, feminine girl to perfumery. Scent 8/10, longevity 6/10, sillage 7.5/10, value for money 8/10, packaging 10/10. Would I buy it again? Yes.

What a beautiful scent! It seems perfect for spring and hot days: fresh, sweet, fruity, light, and youthful. The opening is fruity and sweet, slightly acidic. Then the white flowers come out, which I feel the most. In the base, the wood. It’s soft but with character. Very cheerful and chic. For an EDT, it has excellent sillage and longevity; I wear it for about six hours on my skin and it still projects. Very good price in my country considering the quality. Give it a try, it’s a beautiful scent.

Nothing like what I heard about the EDP. This, the little I perceived, smells like a mature floral… I didn’t like it. I will try it again to see how it goes, as it’s on a super promotion where I live.

I feel compelled to review this. Although my favourite is Chance Eau Tendre, they don’t resemble each other at all. This is much more fruity than floral, without the citrus top or woody base of the Chance. In a word: generic. It would be an ideal gift for a sweet, tender teenager. I just have a sample of La Belle et l’Ocelot by Salvador Dalí; they are almost identical but this costs more than double. To its credit, it has good longevity; I could still smell it in my hair the next morning.

I really like its opening. It’s potent. You can feel the flowers and a sweet touch, but very soft, nothing cloying. Within minutes, that potency fades and leaves a soft, delicate, and very floral scent. I would say it’s youthful; although I’m nearly forty, I feel it very well on my skin. It has good sillage, not heavy, but pleasant. For me, it’s delicious, ideal for daytime use and in mild climates (autumn/spring).

It’s a lovely perfume, reminiscent of Chance Eau Tendre or Daisy. If you enjoy those, you’ll surely adore this Mademoiselle Rochas. Ideal for the office and spring days. On my skin, it lasts about eight hours.
