The house of Rochas is a long established fragrance empire that has launched fragrances for the classy, sophisticated woman. Most of its fragrances are heady and powerful, Tocade one of which is so. Famouse scents by Rochas include Femme, Madame Rochas that Rochas actually created for his bride, Byzance-for the woman who wants her presence to be acknowledged, Fleur de Eau and Tocadilly.

How long it lasted on me: Surprisingly..only 1/2 the day. Starts off strong and rich…but its very light at the end of the day.
The Bottle: Rochas is famous for its new and trendy bottle designs. Tocade is designed like a rounded person wearing a cone shaped hat
Any substitutes: Sotto Voce by Laura Biagiotti smells like Tocade but is ligher..LouLou by Cacharel has the same base as Tocade.
Miscellaneous details: Tocadilly was created as Tocade’s sister later and Tocadilly is supposedly the lighter version of Tocade
What I think of Tocade: I like Tocade because it’ not very famous- I don’t smell it on others ( like Pleasures and Tommy Girl that every women in the mall has on! ) Its fresh and feminine and it gets me compliments…so I have to love this stuff!! Yet..with all the vanilla around my dresser…this is nothing different!
I rate this perfume 4* out of 5*
