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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Paramour Eau de Parfum
A smooth, sweet leather that’s much softer than its cousins. Paramour is an approachable gourmand leather with mass appeal, perfect if you want something less aggressive than the usual suspects.

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.

Paramour Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

While it can be a 'beast' on projection, its softer, smoother leather profile makes it more versatile than sharper leather scents. It shines on dates and formal evenings, but is too prominent for daily office wear and certainly not for sport.
