Composition of the fragrance
The classic chypre structure is elevated by a blend of warm and inviting spices and delicate floral notes, opening with a bright and sparkling combination of zesty bergamot, juicy peach, and ripe plum. The center of the fragrance is an opulent and luxurious bouquet of precious jasmine, velvety rose, and exotic ylang-ylang, which delicately intertwine with the spicy nuances of piquant clove, warm cinnamon, and powdery iris. The finish of the fragrance is rich, earthy, and grounding, with the woody and mossy notes of oakmoss, vetiver, and patchouli providing a warm and sensual finish.
Story of the fragrance
Marcel Rochas believed that a woman's fragrance should precede her presence, as he envisioned a perfume as a tribute to the woman he loved dearly. Femme captures the essence of his sculptural creations and heightened sensuality, serving as a declaration of love to women as the ultimate heroines in an ever-evolving story.
