Mademoiselle Rochas In Black, a modern vision of femininity
In the past, and for many decades, women were simply seen as romantic beings, possessing within them an immeasurable softness and an unwavering tenderness. However, decade after decade, they never stopped emancipating themselves, until they loudly and proudly claimed their new freedom. And it is precisely to this new generation of women that Mademoiselle Rochas In Black speaks. Just as chic as its predecessors, this perfume proves more rebellious and rock and roll. With it, codes and conventions are meant to be upended. Mademoiselle Rochas In Black is the perfume of a free woman, who knows exactly what she wants and does not hesitate to make it known! Thus, by embracing such a philosophy, Rochas intends to win over a new generation of women. Mademoiselle Rochas In Black fits into a much more contemporary register than its predecessors.
A glamorous, rock and roll bottle
As for the bottle, the challenge is brilliantly met. The bottle of Mademoiselle Rochas In Black preserves many of the brand's emblematic codes, while offering new, more rock elements. Thus, the round shape of Mademoiselle Rochas has been preserved, as has its millerais pattern, which slightly ripples its outline. Let us recall in passing that this is a pattern found in all the linings of Rochas jackets. It is therefore a nod to the brand's prestigious heritage. On the other hand, the soft pink of the past has vanished. This time, it is replaced by an opaque black lacquer, as mysterious as it is intense. Elegant while appearing rebellious, it is paired with a leather bow fixed at its neck. Studs also appear on it, in a more rock and roll spirit. Mademoiselle Rochas In Black is undeniably a woman with an untamable character!
The new incisive and powerful breath of Mademoiselle Rochas In Black
As if echoing its visual, the formula of Mademoiselle Rochas In Black has also preserved elements of the previous Mademoiselle Rochas, while being enhanced with new raw materials. Thus, it remains a floral and fruity perfume. However, it proves less poetic than in the past and moves toward a more powerful and sensual register. It all begins with very refreshing and gourmand top notes of bergamot, blackberry and tea. Then, the rose reveals itself sharp and prickly, paired with hawthorn and black leather. At its base, Mademoiselle Rochas In Black clearly relies on sensuality. Its sillage combines vanilla with touches of ambroxan as well as oakmoss.
