Perfume "Madame Rosha": reviews

Surname Rosha is known to fashionistas mainly thanks to designer clothes. This house was founded in the distant 1925. The young couturier Marcel Roche at that time was only twenty-two years old. To be precise, at first he was a practicing lawyer, passionately in love with his wife. And hit the world of high fashion it prompted a simple desire to dress his wife so that everyone gasped. Perfect flair of form and color, along with the breadth of design thought, helped Marcel Roche to become famous. He gave the world skirts with patch pockets, tennis dresses and a coat with sleeves in three quarters. But in this article we will not talk about clothes from haute couture. We will test the spirits of Madame Roche. What do they say about the reviews? Are they "the fragrance of a bygone era" or are they still worn?

Women's perfume of Rosh's empire

In 1935, the couturier, already famous at that time, decided to try his hand at perfumery. The first fragrance was "Avenue Matignon" - this is the street where the fashion house with Fabur Saint Honoré moved. The second, released a year later, became the legendary Audace. When the Second World War broke out, it was not for the spirits. But after 1945, these perfumes were republished and became bestsellers. Unsurpassed masterpiece, the peak of couture creativity is called his perfume "Famm" ("Woman"). It is said that Marcel Rocha presented these spirits to his young wife Helen as a wedding gift. In the field of perfumery things have progressed much better than in the field of clothing. Therefore, after the war, the couturier decided to close the fashion house and focus exclusively on fragrances for women and men. Fans of his perfumes were Marlene Dietrich, Joan Crawford and other celebrities.

In 1955, Marcel Rocha died of a cerebral hemorrhage. At the helm of the perfume house stood young widow Helen. She managed not only to keep the ship afloat, but also to increase profits. In 1960, she presented her perfume "Madame Roche".

Creative ambitions

In the name of the perfume, a young widow (who was much younger than her husband) decided to perpetuate her name. But Helen had enough tact not to put herself in the area that she did not know. She hired a famous perfumer Guy Robert to invent a formula for her. She only ordered a theme: femininity, elegance and Parisian elegance. And this perfumer managed to do.

No less careful attention is paid to the bottle with the box. The bottle has a shape resembling the silhouette of the famous couturier's dresses, which for the first time decided to dress women in outfits with overhead shoulders and a narrowed bottom. The sharp edges of the bottle make it look like a crystal, and the golden liquid inside clearly indicates that the spirits of "Madame Roscha" - this is something special, not for every day. It is the refinement that shows in every detail. A snow-white label with vignettes and a golden cap give the appearance of the bottle a fascinating femininity.

"Madame Rosha" (perfume): a composition of fragrances

Experts attribute this fragrance to a family of aldehyde floral. What is hidden behind this professional characteristic? Let's breathe in a bouquet of fragrances! We will feel every note! Perfumes of the mid-twentieth century are striking in their complexity and versatility. Therefore, we will prepare ourselves for the fact that the list of constituent components will be long. Overture begins with the sound of aldehydes. What it is? Do not tire of chemistry lessons. Let's just say that these synthetic substances do not smell very nice - just a quenched candle or a rancid butter. But when diluted with other substances, aldehydes give the aromas a fascinating freshness and a damp moisture. "Madame Roscha" - perfume, where the overture is attended by orange blossom, honeysuckle, hyacinth, lemon, bergamot, neroli and green notes. Thanks to aldehydes, all these components sound simply divine. In the heart of the perfume composition is a lush floral bouquet. Here narcissus, lily of the valley, Bulgarian rose, ylang-ylang, jasmine, violet, iris and her majesty - tuberose. In the base of the spirits, the notes of white cedar, vetiver, oak moss, musk, amber, thin bean and sandalwood merge in soft warm embraces.

How users characterize the pyramid of odors

All the above information is obtained directly from the manufacturer. And what do ordinary users say about the female perfume "Madame Roche"? Perfume reviews get the most enthusiastic. Ladies call the fragrance magnificent, the spirits fall in love with themselves from the first notes. Aldehydes have another remarkable property: they "adjust" to the type of skin. Therefore, the spirits of this family will suit everyone. Complex synthetic compounds make sound more powerful than other ingredients of the composition. In this case, a rich bouquet of flowers seems refreshed by the summer rain. We seem to see droplets of cool moisture, which flutter on the petals of tuberose, make a matte violet. Special energy is given by the composition of the interweaving of exotic ylang-ylang and languid neroli. There are also sexy notes in this fragrance, which is given to it by spicy sandalwood and tart cedar, sensual vetiver and spicy musk.

Who created the fragrance

What did the Queen of Beauty look like in the early sixties? It was for her, the brave conqueror of the vital peaks, that the spirits of "Madame Roche" were created. Daring, complex nature, it is capable of unexpected actions. The goddess, who goes through life with a flying gait, is enveloped by a special energy - both cheerful and purposeful. It creates, as if playing, but everything, whatever it touches, turns into gold. Intensive aroma for bright and successful women will give a sense of confidence in their abilities. Perfume is so tender and airy that I want to enjoy it again and again. Do not forget what role the aldehydes play. They adjust the scent to the smell of her mistress. Therefore, every woman in the halo of these spirits reveals their secrets ...

Vintages

Given that the release of the first fragrance occurred more than half a century ago, the only thing that can tell us what the original perfume of Madame Roche looked like - a photo. True, some sites online stores promise to send rarities, the remains of the most legendary collection in 1960. But with what to compare, to discover the truth ... or a fake? Spirits under the same name were reprinted later. For example, a rather voluminous series came out for the twenty-year anniversary of the first collection. In it was changed the bottle, which instead of the pyramid was rectangular. In different series, another design of the box was used. In the original collection it was snow-white with embossed gold lace. Late used a case in the style of "wallpaper in the flower". And in recent years a white box with a satin inside is used for packing perfume.

Concentrations and prices

The fragrance now continues to be produced as the "Pur Perfume". These spirits "Madame Roche" (France) in 1980 issue about $ 75 for 5 ml. But you can also buy perfumed water. Its cost is about 8,000 rubles for 13 ml. These items of exquisite luxury are made strictly according to the original formula of 1960. Eau de toilette and cologne for women differ from the original sample not only with a weaker concentration. They are "modernized" according to the current fashion. But the price of a new copy remains high. 120 ml of cologne cost 7800 rubles, and a miniature bottle of toilet water - 38 US dollars.

Reviews

The French spirits "Madame Roche" were and always remain a living classic. For rarities is a real hunt. They are bought and resold, as canvases by masters. It is much easier to buy a sample of the flavor of 1980, because it is made exactly by the formula, and therefore nothing from its older brother is different. Aldehydes continue to perform miracles even in the concentration of cologne and toilet water.
