Secret de Rochas

Such a lovely peach! Discreet, and nicely close to skin. Of the kind you wish to keep for and to yourself and not just share. Whites and greens play leapfrog with yellow juicy fruits, on a base that avoids cloy. In my opinion this is an underestimated scent and should get more exposure and fanhood, if even being at times a trifle plasticky. A strong like for all seasons. Edit: a LOVE: blissful fragrance.

Musky, powdery, peachy, with green notes and hints of jasmine, osmanthus, and patchouli. It's, floral, fresh, and feminine. Secret de Rochas is most beautiful about an hour later, when the flowery notes come out. It comes in a gorgeous bottle and the perfume is a delicious peach color. A delicious fruity green chypre. Very original and gorgeous!

Secret de Rochas is still a hidden gem although it has everything a feminine fragrance deserves. It ́s warm, soft, slightly sweet and beautiful. The best creation by Rochas so far, and one of the most interesting female fragrances out there. All the beautiful women out there, please try this fragrance and wear it more often.

I have come upon it by chance;I was looking for a different perfume,and as I was waiting in a line I tried this one, just to pass the time,and oh-la-la. Just beautiful! Soft,sweet and lovely,fruity and floral,woody notes somewhere,so beautiful,so feminine and so relaxing. I ended up buying a bottle and am loving it!

A creation so delicate and tender. I'd define it a very conservative scent. If a strict religious person would prohibit his daughter or wife to ever wear make up and perfume, Rochas' secret would be an exception! I wanna bathe in it, and believe me , you easily could.

I'm gonna go with my sixth olfactory sense and say that this perfume seems to me simply Beautiful. Not complex,not simple,not boring.....just Beautiful.

Beautiful ,light and very feminine perfume the down side is that it doesn't last long . Anyway I really like it and highly recommend it .

Love it. Very soft, light and tender. Drydown is peachy and creamy.

The other reviewers who called this a "tender" perfume are right on the money. If you were a fan of Coty's Exclamation but perhaps find it too juvenile or dated to be wearing now, this would be a great fragrance to try. It shares some notes, but it's more adult and certainly smells modern. Day wear, more springtime than anything but possibly appropriate for year-round use, depending on your preferences. It's got modest sillage and projection, and that's OK with me, at this pricing and availability. If you're buying someone a gift and you know they like some of these notes, it would be a good choice, as the packaging is really nice, too! I've never had Rochas let me down, and I highly recommend this house to others. You get a lot of quality and thoughtful, interesting compositions for really affordable prices. That said, I prefer the "Rose Intense" version of Secret de Rochas. You can tell they have the same DNA, but I find the rose option more interesting and beautiful.

This soft, clean scent meets my expectations. I feel the fruity notes but not in an exaggerated way at all. Soft, slightly fruity, slightly sweet, even a bit flowery at the same time, well-balanced, nothing dominant.

28. February 2014 With the statement of Marcel Rochas : " one must smell a woman, before even seeing her" you would expect something loud and that might make a statement. But i am almost loosing any hopes for a good fragrances to be launched any time soon after i smelled most of the recent releases, and i might be wrong, but i think that perfume house of Rochas can be declared as an officially dead. I mean, it has lost all of it's glory and probably will not be resurrected any time soon if at all. Marketing agents sure cleverly use the tactics of playing on heritage of the house and abusing the name of legendary house of perfumes and fashion. But they do not sucseed to fool me anymore. The fragrance itself is extremely soft and shy and i can tell, after testing it several times on skin and paper both, that it is a skin scent. So how can anyone smell a woman, wearing "Secret" even before seeing her is a mystery to me. On paper the fragrance opens with a prominent and longer lasting melon note, than on my skin. I smell something slightly soapy in here as well. The melon quickly disappears, giving an entrance for the passionfruit, which is very airy, thankfully. In general it stays on my skin as a fresh, bit green, bit watery fruity, bit soapy ( just a hint of it) skin scent, which dies not project almost at all and stays up to 2hrs. The drydown is a disappointment as well. It has a mix of mango, passionfruit and osmanthus on my skin. Very generic, incomplete fragrance IMO, it would smell much much better if it would be more potent, they should triple the concentration of all notes, so it would have a chance to catch any attention. Please do not remove this comment, since others might find it useful. Not every review should be positive, so people like me wanted to make a blind buy might find it very informative. Thanks.

This is an intriguing creation by Rochas, after all the hype surrounding its creation, one could have expected a powerhouse of a scent, but it is not, doesn't mean the house of Rochas is dead, far from it, the scent is stylish, classy yet fresh..I detect green notes, some peach...as the scent develops, it does amplifies...getting more of a soft oriental vibe..it has a soapy/ tropical undertone in the top notes, my husband says it smells like handsoap, he isn't crazy about it in truth... I am really unsure about it, not overly enthusiastic about it either,it has a watery edge, but it does smell interesting, although it doesn't open up much..Still not sure about the Secret ingredient either. Not a love for me.

#updated review: i really liked this perfume when it came out. it was on my wishlist ever since. only few months ago i finally got it. although on my wishlist there are older and more popular fragrances yet i bought this and oh i don't regret it. compared to whats on my list this is simply a wearable, everyday perfume that would appeal to everyone cuz of the notes! it got fruits, flowers, earthy notes and musk.the opening is a splash of creamy, juicy peaches, which lift up the mood. then comes the scent of flowers that tackle the nose a bit finally the freshness, clean scent of musk. the dry down is powdery delicate scent and it stays all day on clothes.

I only smelled it on a paper strip, and felt it was familar to me, then it hit me..it smelled like a lighter, softer, more fruity version of my beloved Ange ou Demon! Maybe it's the oakmoss? It's surely not as deep or complex as AoD, but it doesn't smell like your run-of-the-mill fruity-floral either (atleast on paper)...there's an element of mystique in this one and an earthy nuance...but I will have to test it on my skin and come back to re-review, so far it seems promising.

This perfume is sweet and gentle, never overwhelming and it smells like peach and mango with a hint of jasmine. On my skin it is sweet and a little green. The patchouli is well blended and gentle. It wears close, people will have to hug you to smell it. It really smells good in hot weather. It becomes a little more like a flower and a cup of jasmine after the fruit begins to fade. It’s pretty and worth buying a full bottle of. Smells natural, not synthetic.

Lovely, longlasting peach ♥ It is indeed very tender, but still noticeable. Sprayed on clothing, the peach stands out even more and I find this to be very longlasting. Sprayed on skin, this seems to blend perfectly into my skin. People smell it on me, and I catch the occasional whiff of peachy mango, combined with musky flowers, which makes me want to constantly smell my wrists. Overall, this was a great buy with 50% off; only €36 for 50 ml.

i tested this perfume when it was released in my country and ever since its on my wish list. it is soft, tender and creamy. fruity notes is not my thing, but in this perfume its not overpowering the other notes, it blends well with the middle and base notes. the perfume reminds me of another perfume i cant recall its name. i can say Secret de Rochas is a safe everyday perfume.

Started as a fresh,simple summer citrusy/floral kind of scents, but after just 5 minutes it transformed into a woody/oriental kind of scents,but still soft. If you liked the top note,give it sometime you may not like the base or middle note, as it was kind of masculine to me. And if you hated the top,also wait sometime you may love the drydowns as they still charming.

Η τέλεια λέξη που μπορείς να πεις να περιγράψεις το συναίσθημα που σε περιτυλίγει ψεκάζοντας το secret eίναι tender-τρυφερό .Τρυφερό από όλες τις απόψεις. This is so delicate and soft fragrance. The best word to describe the feeling you get after spraying it is "tender". Tender in every aspect.

Clean (without being citrusy), elegant and soft (without being dated). It is a nice perfume, but with bad sillage and bad longevity. It is worth trying if you like vintage perfumes (the kind that smell grandmotherly), but you want one that smells a bit more modern.
