Rochas Mademoiselle Rochas in Black is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Mademoiselle Rochas in Black opens with Bergamot, Blackberry, and Tea, settles into a heart of Hawthorn, Leather, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss, Vanilla, and Ambroxan. Rochas's Mademoiselle Rochas in Black carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a mixed bag, drawing comparisons to a 'younger BR540 in motorcycle garb' but often landing with a synthetic thud. You'll either get intriguing berry-tea leather or a 'shrill brain wrenching sugary ambrox base'. Try before you buy, unless you're feeling adventurous.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Mademoiselle Rochas in Black kicks off with a burst of juicy blackberry and bright bergamot, softened by a comforting tea accord. The heart introduces a distinctive leather note, paired with delicate rose and a hint of hawthorn. The dry down settles into a warm, slightly oriental base of ambroxan, vanilla, and earthy oakmoss, aiming for a mysterious but feminine edge.
