Rochas rarely tips its own hand early, and Tocade Perfume follows that same instinct closely, geranium, freesia, bergamot, and green notes showing up crisp and immediately floral well before the real warmth shows itself. Rose, iris, orchid, magnolia, jasmine, and lily of the valley take over the entire middle with extraordinary floral abundance and real romantic depth throughout. Vanilla, amber, patchouli, musk, and cedar settle into the dry down with rich, comforting warmth that lasts for many long, pleasant hours.
Romantic evenings and quiet dinners both suit this floral Eau De Toilette especially well, lush rather than restrained about its own considerable presence. Rochas built something thoroughly captivating here, entirely worthy of its own flirtatious, French inspired, deeply romantic, unmistakable name.
