| Blends of floral and citrus-based fragrances are recommended for casual and daywear. Spicy, woody or warm amber-based fragrances are traditionally favorites for evening and special occasions. |

| I am only familiar with the new Femme, reformulated by Olivier Cresp in 1989. It was very important to the company (Rochas) that he keep the SPIRIT of the original fragrance, while making it more appealing to modern tastes. (The original Femme came out in 1944, right after the end of WWII. It was a "cult" fragrance, and was compared to "avant-gard music.") The new Femme, I believe, lives up to the spirit of the original. It starts off with an assertive chypre note and quickly dries down to a soft, powdery, fruity, woodsy, and musky-skin scent. The sensual spicy note of cumin, which was a brilliant idea, gives the perfume that shamefully erotic note that inspired me to call it "Sex in a Bottle" (and my husband, if he knew I was writing this, would agree.) |
