Mademoiselle Rochas is already presented as a typically Parisian fragrance, perfectly reflecting the purely French spirit of young women in France today. It is a sparkling, fresh, chic and elegant essence.
At the end of 2016, Rochas clearly announced its wish to reconnect with the most prestigious era of its perfumery. Thus, many hopes were placed on this house, which chose to reissue some of its great vanished classics such as Byzance or Lumière. Nevertheless, in parallel, Rochas also chose to give a sequel to its emblematic fragrance Femme. Now, the house wishes to target a new generation. In this sense, Rochas currently presents its very latest fragrance, Mademoiselle Rochas. So, does it truly live up to all our expectations?

Mademoiselle Rochas and its simple-looking yet highly refined bottle
First, before even looking into the composition of this new fragrance, let us begin by highlighting the exceptional work the house of Rochas has put into its bottle design. Indeed, although Mademoiselle Rochas has a fairly simple appearance at first glance, this is not the case at all. Every detail of its packaging has been meticulously crafted. Round in shape, Mademoiselle Rochas beautifully embodies the generosity of women. What is more, its pink color conveys a very optimistic and positive image. Moreover, what better color to embody femininity. In this sense, Mademoiselle Rochas is all of these at once: a flower? A candy? A childhood memory?... From these celebrations, every woman can identify with it. A pretty hand-tied bow is then attached at the neck. The whole is topped with a metallic gray cap for added modernity. Finally, a couture-style label decorates its front face. The whole is very harmonious and suggests a fragrance born of unmatched craftsmanship.
The very contemporary composition of Rochas
Furthermore, Mademoiselle Rochas owes its existence to one of the best perfumers of her generation: Anne Flipo. A modern and highly ambitious woman, she has built an extraordinary career and a reputation that precedes her. Thus, the creator chose to fully ride the trends of the moment and craft a gourmand and sweet fragrance. Yet Mademoiselle Rochas is perfectly balanced and does not fall into excessive sweetness. This juice opens with a surprising blend of blackcurrant and candy apple. Nevertheless, the femininity of the Rochas woman quickly takes over again. Mademoiselle Rochas highlights the two most famous flowers in feminine perfumery: rose and jasmine. The whole is finally wrapped in softness with a breath of sandalwood. Finally, Rochas reveals its most sensual side. Mademoiselle Rochas ends with a seductive breath of ambergris and musk. The result is a very complete yet perfectly harmonious fragrance. From then on, Mademoiselle Rochas seems to have all the assets needed to win over our hearts.
