Rochas Mademoiselle In Black Eau de Parfum 30ml Spray Embark 30ml EDT in a bottle

30ml EDT in a bottle designed to live on a shelf

Bergamot and pink pepper open with the kind of brightness that suggests a walk through a sunlit piazza

200ml in a flip-cap bottle

and it moves like a solid balm rather than a chalky stick

though the serum base means you can layer it over moisturiser without the usual sunscreen-sliding situation

Rochas Mademoiselle In Black Eau de Parfum 30ml Spray Embark 30ml EDT in a bottleBlackcurrant leaf and pink pepper open sharp and slightly tart the kind of opening that makes you sit up. Rochas then settles it into a woody floral base where cedar and jasmine sit lower than you'd expect, letting those bright top notes carry most of the way through. 30ml EDP for her. Two to three sprays from the wrist carry you through the day without needing a reapply. Skip if you prefer sweet this one's dry and a bit architectural.
