Girl
Rochas Girl Eau de Toilette is the house at its most contemporary, a 2021 scent aimed at buyers who were not born when the label's famous bottles came out.
The opening is bright and slightly tart. Neroli gives a clean honeyed floral, blackcurrant a green sharpness and pink pepper a dry fizz, and the three of them together make a start that is fresh without being a straightforward citrus. The middle turns softer and more floral: orange blossom widens it out, jasmine brings a creamy fullness, and orchid adds a smooth, slightly fruity sweetness that bridges the two. The base is where it becomes comforting, with vanilla kept clean rather than edible, cedarwood adding a dry pencil sharpness and sandalwood a quiet creaminess underneath. It is a friendly fragrance rather than a demanding one, and the construction is deliberately easy to like. Nothing in it is loud, nothing is bitter, and there is no moment where it changes character sharply.
An eau de toilette of this sort is moderate in strength and suited to being reapplied, which is how most people wear a scent like this anyway. Expect two or three hours when it is plainly there, then a soft finish close to the skin. It works in spring and summer, in the daytime, at work and at university, and it makes a sensible first proper bottle for somebody moving on from body sprays. Anne Flipo composed it.
The house is a Parisian one of 1925, with a perfume arm dating from 1936. Helene Rochas took it on when her husband died in 1955 and made the scent side far bigger; in 2015 Interparfums bought the brand and all its trademarks from Procter and Gamble.
