Revillon Detchema is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1953. Detchema opens with Hyacinth, Bergamot, Neroli, and Peach, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Sandalwood. Revillon's Detchema carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

A fascinating, divisive relic from perfumery's golden age. Detchema is either a masterpiece for the vintage devotee or a challenging, 'old-fashioned' aldehyde bomb. Prepare for gravitas.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

This is a statement fragrance with significant presence, making it less suitable for casual or office wear where subtlety is preferred. Its complexity and rich character, especially the aldehydic-floral-leather profile, lend themselves perfectly to formal events or special occasions where you want to project a strong, elegant image.

About

Detchema opens with a bright, crisp burst of aldehydes, lifted by bergamot and a sweet peach. This sparkling overture quickly gives way to a lush, classic floral heart, where prominent hyacinth and carnation are softened by the elegance of rose and jasmine. As it settles, a complex and rich base emerges, with warm amber, earthy vetiver, and a hint of soft leather providing a sophisticated, powdery, and musky dry down.
