Tocade by Rochas
For: women Designer: Rochas Olfactive Group: Oriental FloralTocade Fragrance Reviews:
add reviewTocade is a soapy perfume, a bit powdery and very very feminine. It´s perfect for fall and winter, day or night. This scent is clean and wearable, but definitely it´s not for me (maybe very strong and serious...)



I didn't realize I was coming down with a stomach virus when I wrote the above! In fairness, now that I sniff it without a flu-induced repulsion, I recognize that Tocade is actually much softer than my first impression, though I still detect that aggressive chemical sweet note that sent me hurling last week! Not for me, but I'll wear Tocade before I ever eat egg salad again!

Anyway, TOCADE is a nonconformist. Opening with unmistakeable geranium, the scent becomes immediately oriental after that. There is an earthy sensuality to TOCADE that recalls to my mind the image of a group of suntanned tatooed Italians with perfect bodies lying on Manuel Antonio beach in Costa Rica. Their skin glistening in the sun with oil and sea water, their hair falling in wet locks around their faces. Living in the moment for the moment.
There is nothing fake about TOCADE--it has no affectations and does not try to be anything more or less than what it is. Unique!



The top note of vanilla seems strong at first, but it warms up and rounds out into a mellow tone. The powdery character is also very strong at first, but caramelizes slightly afterward. Tocade reminds me of golden sugar cookies in the oven and of a happy mother's warm embrace. It's the wistful, bubbly, innocent, nurturing, powdery, heavenly epitome of "comfort scent."
Also, the lasting power is above and beyond what a perfume of this price should be. I wore it to sleep and woke up with Tocade in the morning, whereas everything else I own unconditionally disappears after a fitful night of turns and tosses. Outstanding if you like powdery gourmands!

A very pleasant surprise. People kept popping up asking 'who smells so good".
The vanilla turns into caramel, creamy with the floral aspects. Then the rose strolls in adding to the fun.
It just wraps you up in yummy.
I must say, that Rochas has stayed consistant in their fragrances for women. What a relief!

I wondered whats the fuss about, and I couldnt ignore so many good reviews, so I decided to keep the decant to try again. Second time, still in summer I applied one spray on the back of my hand. OMG! Within one hour I was literally suffocating with powder. It felt like someone was holding my head in the barrel with powder. I ran to the bathroom and scrubbed it off. I used pumice stone. I scrubbed bit of my skin off along with it, and my hand was bleeding a little. Yeah, that bad..
Stubborn as I am, even that could not scare me off from trying again, but this time I knew I have to wait for cold weather.
I applied only a tiny bit and sniffed very carefully. Hm.. Fresh, clean start with only a hint of powder. Nice jasmine/rose heart with fresh lily of the valley and magnolia.
And finally, creamy powdery vanilla sweet heaven. Yes, the powder is still there, but its not suffocating me anymore. Tocade is hugging me, and assuring me that everything is going to be fine. It stays close, but that only emphasizes the fact, that it is a scent to comfort you and those you keep close.
Tocade really is a masterpiece and it was worth the trouble. Maybe I will get used to the powder and be able to wear it also in summer.
I definitely will have to get more bottles to scent my sheets as well.






Tocade smells so creamy and delicious! The bottom notes stand out the most. I smell floral but not one flower in particular(maybe orchid) I get touches of spice, mainly a soft cinnamon (not a note) maybe its patchouli and golden amber with a soothing vanilla.. whatever it is its so sensual, feminine and soft.


1. Staying power: very, very good.
2. Smells like: oriental, mysterious, but not strong, I would say understated. Dark vanilla, a bit of rubber, spices and amber.
2. It is not the kind of perfume that fills the room, it's the perfume that you keep for yourself and for someone who comes really close to you. Very discrete, you can't smell it from miles away.

Some reviews point it doesn't last but to me it seems potent and long lasting.There is a nice combination of notes that include vanilla,amber,musk and flowers.
Tocade is an elegant fragance to wear at night.It's by no means "dated". To me any modern woman can wear it and feel self-confident and sexy.

*edit* I wore this yesterday and my four year old son said "I smell chocolate!" when I walked by. So the vanilla comes through very nicely too!

It's rare that I call a fragrance sexy, but this one is. It reminds me a good bit of Organza Indecence (with flowers, minus the spice) in its overall effect of being delicious-smelling and touchable.
I don't get much of the green notes and freesia in the top, which is brief. It seems to head for the heart right away, which is fine because it's so darn pretty - mostly rose and magnolia on me, shading into a luscious vanilla with a hint of patchouli and amber underneath. I thought Tocade was pretty long-lasting: 6 hours from putting it on to the last wisps of scent.
How wonderful that this smells great and doesn't cost much! It's rare that beauty and low prices go together.

I must admit I was surprised by the vanilla in this - I expected a sweet vanilla, and this is spicier than I had anticipated. It's a velvet spiced vanilla, but extremely warm and feminine.
I can't detect the individual floral heart notes, but they are lovely with the spicy vanilla. And the dry-down is absolutely to die for...beautiful and long-lasting perfume!








I used to wear this as my signature scent when I was about 22 and it still reminds me of that period in my life. But I can imagine women over 50 wearing it as well! It absolutely is timeless, as Rebella already said!
I find it a very warm and different kind of perfume. Would not wear it myself anymore though, I now find it too powdery and powerful. To me it will always be a wonderful 'smell of sweet memories'...

I feel sexy, confident and cozy with this fragrance. It mingle with my personality and more adjust to me than me to the perfume.
It is quite flowery, sweet and cherful... but underneath I can sense something alluring, mystic and hot. I totally understand why this fragrance considered as sexy!
I really recommend this to women in all ages that can put up with sweet fragrances...
It dosen´t change so much, put the base is warm, powdery and longlasting.
Very sweet and string, too sweet and strong for me. I think Tocade grew a little bit old in the years since it's launch.
