Femme Rochas

by Edmond Roudnitska

Rochas Femme Rochas is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1944, created by Edmond Roudnitska. The fragrance opens with Rosewood, Peach, Bergamot, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, Jasmine, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Leather, Vanilla, Patchouli, and Oakmoss.

Our verdict on Femme Rochas: Acquired

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.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

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

Best 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.

About

Femme Rochas opens with a rich, spiced embrace of ripe peach and juicy plum, accented by warm cinnamon. The heart unveils a robust blend of clove, rose, and ylang-ylang, intertwining with an earthy rosemary. As it settles, a luxurious base of leather, oakmoss, and amber emerges, creating a deep, sensual, and complex finish, softened by a hint of patchouli and vanilla.
