No doubt, Madame Rochas is a great fragrance in the classic style. However, the aldehydes were far too much for me to handle. Even with a light spray and a mist walk-through, aldehydes are all I smelled for a couple hours. Aldehydes, coupled with white florals, can be especially problematic for me, and Madame Rochas is another is a long list of Aldehyde Florals that I’ve tried and can’t wear.I’ve never smelt the original, and apparently the new formula is the victim of cost-cutting. If so, I can see why.

Madame Rochas is now my favorite scent! Every time I wear it I get comments like, "you smell great!" I wear it just about every day.

Madame Rochas is a classic floral scent. It mostly smells like rosewater and other florals combined into a sophisticated scent. It lasts a long time, I can still smell it the next day after application. Recommended for evening wear and intimate encounters. A little goes a long way so hold back a little when you spray it on. I love it. 5 stars.

A woody, floral, powdery, aldehydic wonder of a fragrance. Rochas perfumes always deliver, but the sister to Femme and Tocade is such a gorgeous fragrance that it’s my favorite of the three – and I love them all! This perfume lasts long and has great sillage. Women love a great fragrance, one that others want to wear after they smell it on you. Men love this one too for the woman in their life.
