Which Should You Buy?
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.
Earthly Lady chases Rochas Femme - a ripe peach-and-plum fruity chypre warmed with cumin and grounded in sandalwood, oakmoss and amber. Community reviewers call it a more balanced, less green take than the original, but the rich, sexy chypre character carries.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
The warm, spicy chypre base shines in autumn and winter and cooler spring evenings, while summer heat amplifies the cumin and fruit.
Occasions
Rich and sensual, it leans toward dates, evenings and dressed-up occasions more than the office or sport.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Fruity, Woody, Warm Spicy accords and Peach, Plum notes
