Tocade (for women)

sjanira

This is a very powdery, creamy fragrance. Strong and very Oriental. I get the jasmine magnolia alot with a dark vanilla powdery trace at the en. I'm very glad to have tried this thanks to a nice swapping partner here. If not for her, I don't think I would've ever tried this wonderful fragrance.

It is beautiful...and here it is what I think:
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.

Tocade is another classic by Rochas. In my opinion it is a sophisticated and sensual smell.

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.

It very much reminds me of a quieter version of Agent Provocateur. I definitely get flowers (not sure which ones), patchouli, musk and amber. I'm really enjoying this, which is odd since I'm not a huge patchouli fan. I find it sexy and casual, for day or night.

*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!

Friendly-comfortable-sexy. This is not Sexy In Black Lingerie - this is Sexy in Jeans that Fit and a Pretty Blouse.

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.

This is definitely a classic - I can see this fragrance being around for many years to come, and worn by women of all ages when they want to feel sexy, confident, warm, and sophisticated.

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!

A warm, honeyed amber full of dry fruitiness, softly powdered magnolia and lighter top notes that balance the whole and prevent it becoming harsh in any way. This has aged extremely well - it could be a new fragrance released today! The bottle leaves a lot to be desired, I think, it suggests something that should have been released in the 1980's, and the juice inside bares no relation to the bottle itself.

Thanks to Hattie, I now get to try my own Tocade, and I LOVE it. This could easily be a signature scent as it would suit so many occasions and changes in weather. It settles down quickly to become part of the wearer, rather than announcing your presence several minutes before and after you enter a room.

In some ways this reminds me of L'Instant de Guerlain - the amber/magnolia mix with powdery notes, most probably. Tocade is far more sophisticated, with a sexier, more interesting edge than its later (um, shall we say "homage") however. [EDIT: Thank you, Vickalena for pointing out that the nose behind the two perfumes is, infact, the same creator. No wonder! I LIKE L'Instant de Guerlain, but LOVE Tocade - it has a far more interesting personality. Like some other reviwers, I do wish it had longer staying power, though. Obviously I need to get a big bottle. ;-)).

A comfortable and yet sexy perfume for anytime.

I never gave a chance to this fragrance as the bottle is so loud, harsh and common and I thought so was the juice. At the first sniff I couldn't believe my nose. It is so gentle, delicate, so feminine, innocent. I was on a hunting for a springtime favourite and I've just found it. This is what I was looking for, the scent of the spring. When the nature wakes up, the air is sharply cold, but fresh, filled with the smell of the first flowers. I don't really can draw a line between the certain phases, it smells fresh flowery from the start-up to the drydown. It doesn't last long but because of the above mentioned reason you can easily reapply it.

luisa margarita

es una delicia..... al principio las notas verdes con el olor del geranio hace que el humor salte y poquito a poco la rosa suavemente de mano con la vainilla crea en la composicion uno de los olores mas divinos y femeninos que he captado en la perfumeria moderna..... sin duda alguna Tocade (al menos en mi piel), es una oda a las mujeres

guiwings

My mother used to wear this everytime we went out. She just wore the perfume until it ran out. It's beautiful

Ayse

its not too sweet, which good but its not a perfume that i will buy again. Maybe i need to ask those around me for their opinion.

Hattie

Imagine that you're sitting on a porch in the Italian countryside. The sun is setting, and the crickets are playing.
You take a deep breath, and inhale a symphony of flowers.
As the sun is going down, the resins are released from the trees into the warm, humid air.
This is what Tocade is, an unforgettable seduction of senses.

Nuppu

Feminity in a bottle! Soft, sweet floral that is not shy of itself, Tocade is happy to be in centre of attention, alluring, teasing and sexy, no doubt of it. Lovely.

dina

Lovely fragrance, very powdery ... reminds me of the french elegance.

Giv1952

great great flower perfume. bouquet of flowers on a vanilla base.

solocha

reminds me of Rochas Femme, but Femme is a bit better.

Scent lover

I am wearing it today for the first time. Yesterday occasionally I found it in the perfume store (it is smth like TK Max in USA) :D It is warm but not too sweet vanilla with some amber tones in it. It is bitter and sweet at the same time! It smells unique to me :) It is cosy and original combination. Loving it.

Dear Vickalena, it is very much possible that you cannot find it in your country (It seems I cannot find lots of great scents in my country either :-(). Just check the links below the fragrance discription! You will sure have luck via Ebay!

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'...

Hattie

A complicated scent for a complex woman.
It's timeless and classical, yet alluring and totally seductive. I call Tocade an iron hand inside a velvet glove, because this demands attention.

rebella

An intriguing fragrance. Timeless in that way that I can imagine it on both women in their 20ies as well as older womens 60+ and I am sure a lot of womens in betwen could smell really good with this.

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.

liat

Well, it's much more sophisticated than today's fashionable perfumes.
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.

Voted one of the sexiest perfumes on basenotes Community..made by a master perfumer Maurice Roucel, highly recommended!
