What do reviewers say about Chanel No 46 and Madame Rochas?
This is the Chanel you smell before you see the person wearing it. Powdery aldehydes upfront, then a rose that refuses to rush, it takes its time because it knows it doesn't need to prove anything.Chanel No 46
Madame Rochas is aldehydic in the grand French tradition. If you find that style old-fashioned, this won't change your mind. But if powdery florals and green freshness are your language.Madame Rochas
