Tocade 2018
by Rochas
Tocade 2018 presents a soft, powdery gourmand fragrance centered around vanilla, almond, and rose, with accents of bergamot, geranium, and amber. The opening features a crisp, slightly medicinal blend of geranium and bergamot, which swiftly transitions into a creamy, floral-amber base dominated by vanilla, tonka, and labdanum. Though many note a faint plastic or candy-like impression—reminiscent of doll heads or Froot Loops—some find this character to be a playful contrast to the overall sweet elegance. The scent evolves into a comforting, cozy atmosphere, described as Turkish delight or a vintage winter evening poised with warmth and light spices. Longevity is moderate to strong, with many reporting a lasting dry down that lingers well into the next day, especially in cooler weather. The sillage is moderate, and the fragrance performs best when worn quietly—ideal for evening or autumnal wear.
