Femme Eau de Toilette — Rochas
Eau de Toilette (EDT) from Rochas.
Scent description (editorial impression)
Elegant rather than girlish, the fruity chypre wearers describe starts from plum and peach cooked down to a compote and dusted with cinnamon and clove, on a dark, earthy base of moss and leather with cumin running through it. Plenty say it lasts all day; for others it fades fast, or the heady, indolic side is simply too much.
