Mademoiselle Rochas by Rochas

Smells exactly like Versace Red Jeans.

It’s a fruity perfume with roses. The fruity notes are very prominent. It reminds me of the discontinued YSL Babydoll, although the YSL is more complex. It also has the style of the new Chanel Chance Splendide, but this isn’t as subtle. It smells like fruity shower gel, typical and ‘feminine’. If you want to smell freshly showered with fruit gels, this is for you.

Yesterday I found it very nice, fresh and citrusy with fruity touches, ideal for spring-summer. What a surprise: I liked a discontinued Cyzone fragrance (Paradisse) and they smell very similar.

Love at first sniff: sweet and fruity. You can detect apple with caramel and sour rose, what a delight! I haven’t tested the longevity yet, but the scent is very wearable.

After wearing it for longer, I’m coming to say that I like it more than expected. I perceive it as very fruity, a combo of red apple and juicy blackcurrants followed by a rose base. It doesn’t feel cloying, although in the end I notice a bit of vanilla with a very slight amber touch. It’s youthful, ideal for spring-summer, work and study. The longevity lasts the whole day and the trail is moderate; it’s noticeable but in a friendly way.

After a year of searching, I used it on a very hot day and it had a wonderful performance. I love how most of Rochas perfumes are: sweet with woody accords, but it retains a fresh part. It’s a balance for those who don’t want cloying aromas: delicate yet deep. Modern, it works very well with me, lasts about six hours with several sprays, and I will buy it again.

I feel cheated. I bought this perfume because I liked the notes and many reviews spoke of its longevity. False, it lasts nothing, not even a hint. It’s a very soft scent that stays right up against the skin. At the price it has, it seems like a bad joke. I wouldn’t recommend it at all.

It is sweet, fruity, and floral. The opening is a bit generic, but in the heart notes, you can detect watery, sweet apple alongside jasmine, similar to the talc-jasmine in Lanvin’s Mary Me or Donna Trussardi. The blackcurrants and especially the rose are very pretty and natural. It’s a feminine, romantic, pink, and discreet perfume, ideal for everyday wear, although I didn’t find it memorable. Correct: it lasted over 20 hours on my skin.

It’s a sweet floral but very potent; once you put it on, it’s impossible to go unnoticed, it smells like a princess. It’s super long-lasting; I’ve felt it for more than 24 hours on the skin. I recommend it. Edit 11.10.2024: After years of wearing it and refining my sense of smell, I say that throughout the performance (quite linear) it smells of caramelised apple with vanilla and musk. The scent is lovely and refined, but nothing innovative. I do still highlight the beast-mode longevity: 24 hours on skin and weeks on clothes. I would buy it again and again.

I received it as a gift and I like it a lot. I’m not a fan of overly sweet fruity scents, but this has just the right floral touch to make it very pleasant to me. Although it’s designed for warm days, I’ve worn it on very cold days and it projects wonderfully without being overwhelming like in the heat. Women of all ages will enjoy it, but I see it as very appropriate for young girls or teenagers.

I love it; the scent is pretty and youthful, a pleasant fruity-chic. I love that note of caramelised red apple that appears when it dries, that’s what I like most. The downside is the longevity: it lasts exactly one hour (I’ve tested it so many times because I love it, timing it), but even with over-application, the result is the same. The fragrance is pretty and I’ll use up what’s left, but the longevity is so poor I don’t know if I’d buy it again. I agree with Mika’s review. Rochas could make an Intense version that lasts longer, as I know people who love it but suffer the same longevity issue. A pity because it smells good. The Eau de Toilette version must be a joke.

When I tried it, the first impression was putting my nose and whole face right into a huge, sweet, very red rose. Then comes a warm, rather unspecific sweetness. I detect a nod to Lancôme roses, though not equal to any particular one. Rich but not overwhelming.

I fell in love from the very first moment: soft, enveloping, delicious and juicy. Ideal for the heat, it brings that freshness I was looking for. I wear it all the time; sometimes I can’t even smell it on myself, but people always ask what I’m wearing. A beautiful fragrance.

What a romantic perfume! I loved it. I bought it online blind because it intrigued me and I love adding to my collection. It doesn’t smell like a generic product; the opening of blackcurrant with apple is strong, but as it settles, the rose and jasmine flowers are perfectly distinct. I love wearing it daily in autumn, spring and summer.

I had it and gifted almost the entire bottle; on me, it just smelled of red apple, very sweet fruit, with a hint of rose and orange. I didn’t like feeling it so linear, just smelling of sugary red apple. I see it as suitable for autumn and spring, but I didn’t like it at all in summer. It lacks nuances and isn’t complex; I see it as ideal for a teenager’s first perfume. Longevity was good and projection moderate. I wouldn’t recommend it for someone seeking something different or intense, but for daily wear, it seems fine.
