Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Femme Rochas Eau de Parfum

A divisive classic that's either a sensuous masterpiece or a 'curry armpit' disaster, Femme Rochas commands attention. Its vintage charm means it's not for everyone, but if you love a spicy, fruity chypre, this is a true gem.

Our Verdict - Femme de Montblanc Eau de Parfum

Femme de Montblanc is a divisive beast. Some adore its chocolatey, spicy warmth, finding it elegant and unique. Others are left scratching their heads, baffled by its shifting character or disappointed by its performance. Definitely a 'try before you buy', this isn't for everyone.

Season and Occasion Fit

Femme Rochas Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Too bold for the office, Femme Rochas shines on dates and formal evenings, especially in cooler weather. Its strength and opulent character mean a generous application would overwhelm casual settings, and it's certainly not suited for sport.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its warm spicy and gourmand accords, particularly in the EDP, make it suitable for dates and formal events, creating a sensual and memorable presence. While some find it office-appropriate for its 'serious' vibe, the potential for strong sillage (in EDP) and its distinctive character mean it's best applied lightly in professional settings. It's a bit too rich and complex for casual daytime wear or sport.
