Timeless elegance
A sand-colored, precisely sewn blazer. The blouse made of light silk, exquisite drapery. Leather belt. A handbag, fine leather, camel. A foulard, skilfully wrapped around their handles. Two butter-soft sand-coloured gloved women's hands, one of them pulling a bottle of "Madame Rochas" out of her pocket, or is she just putting it back? Sand, beige, light brown, dark gold, these are the colours. Stylish, elegant and adult the impression. Absolutely timeless - or at least almost timeless, it is only details that reveal the age of the advertising motif: The belt, for example, which sits very high in the waist, gloves as an accessory (and not as protection against freezing).
No woman's body that somehow bends could have ever depicted the serious reserved elegance of "Madame Rochas" more accurately than in this advertising motif, which originates from the 80s, but which doesn't matter at all, it would also fit for the 60s or for the day before yesterday and both for the 1960s original Madame, the one by Guy Robert, as well as for the version from 1989.
I assume that I own the 1989 version, even if I bought it new. It is the iconic hexagonal bottle, the producer is "Inter Parfums".
"Madame" starts somewhat herbaceous and with a very disciplined orange blossom, overall rather slim and with a slightly roughened texture. Restrained. Tamed. Tight upright with measured gait.
In delicate contrast to this very controlled opening, there is a subtle warm spicy note that will permeate the whole fragrance and become clearer over time: Look, there is a sensual flame blazing in the depths, Madame can also do differently. It will take some time until this promise is completely fulfilled, Madame has stamina and a little bit of evil she is too, because at no time does she give up control and her charms only peu à peu and finest dosed free.
The flowers of the heart note are also like this: restrained, unplayfully arranged with a certain coolness and distance. Madame has grey eyes. There is at times a slight bitterness, a tart metallic note, subtle and delicate and masterfully integrated and at the same time this warm, matt-golden shimmering warmth, somewhat more audible now already, almost tangible, but only almost. Finely dosed eroticism, distance and closeness, deliciously delayed and always controlled.
Now I find Madame stunning and stunningly beautiful: My clothes still have delicate veils of the adult serious heart note, but on my wrists the base already smells, very close, sandal creamy, dry and warm ambered, sensual to sink into. That's not a theater thunder, that's real.
And last but not least: Also in the Eau de Toilette version a cross-country skier who wants to be dosed consciously.
