You're very welcome mate. It is an Eau de Cologne concentration. So if you spray double, you'll get a more parfum like experience. I do think the smokey, leather comes from real Labdanum and Castoreum. My final notes are, Balsalmic Plums Black cherrys Raisins Candied apricots Rose centifolia flowers Cistus flowers Osmanthus flowers Ylang ylang flowers Wild honey Heliotrope flowers Bergamot Sweet lemon Immortelle flowers Carnation flowers Rosemary Green Patchouli Licorice root Clove Cinnamon Labdanum(smokey leather, mapley) Castoreum (smokey,woody,leather, natural rubber).

What a fantastic comment & thank you so much for sending me these decants... now one day i will make time for that imaginary authors sample but after hearing you bash it I dont know if I want to 😂
After I watched some of your videos and mentioning and praising Rochas Femme many times, I went ahead and got myself a bottle of this! I'm sooo glad I did and HUGE thanks to you! This is ridiculously good for what it costs! MIND BLOWING!
Yes! Great minds think alike. 😀 I have the current edt and it is the best $30 I’ve ever spent on a ‘fume and easily beats most of my $180 fragrances. I struggled with the plummy fruits the first couple wears but then I started getting the dirty cumin and the rich indolic flowers and I fell head over heels. It is the most carnal, sensual yet sophisticated perfume imo and my fave chypre at the moment. I want to try Diorella too though fear I’ll find it boring in comparison. Great video, love the off the cuff 🐏 ram-bles.
Thanks for sharing that Heinke, I’d love to know what you think of vintage Diorella as I’m considering blind buying it soon. Another sensual skin scent for me is Musc Tonkin by Parfum D’empire.
@Heinke thanks so much for giving me your take! I too didn’t like current Diorella upon a brief test at Bergdorf Goodman so was reconsidering. Now that you say it’s good I feel better about pulling the trigger! As for Musc Tonkin it’s more skanky than Femme and leans more feminine to my nose. Haven’t gotten the courage to wear it in public yet but i love it’s unapologetic and oppulent effect.
Happy birthday, Ramsey 🎉✨🌈🌞 I don't know this perfume but I do appreciate some vintage fragrances and this could be a big rabbit hole for me. It's fun to hear your passion about this one. Ty
LOVE Rochas Femme Parfum... One of my favorites! FYI that weird concentration of "Esprit de Parfum" (notably used by Dior but also a couple other maisons) is NOT their nomenclature of extrait... It is, in fact, a concentration BETWEEN parfum and edp... In Dior bottles marketed for USA they even sometimes say "soft perfume concentration" underneath the "esprit de Parfum" print ... And you can definitely tell the difference when worn side by side, though in my experience the scent is IDENTICAL, and only the performance differs slightly)...
From my understanding the esprit de parfum for Dior & parfum de toilette for Rochas are just their ways of saying EDP before the standardized EDP was agreed on as a thing by the houses Guerlain also used Parfum de toilette
This little blurb gives a more detailed look at 'esprit de Parfum' (as used in particular by Dior) which seemingly does have a significantly higher fragrance concentration than pdt or edp... Again I've ONLY experienced esprit de Parfum in 3 Dior fragrances but they are definitely heavier hitters than edp / pdt counterparts... Truthfully I'm not exactly sure why a brand would create BOTH an extrait AND an esprit... They really do behave and smell almost identically to me (I'm obviously just an enthusiast!)... But notably better performing than Parfum de toilette... The only fragrance I can think of that has ALL of these concentrations and you can REALLY experience the similarities and differences are in POISON by Dior... You'd also need to find a pristine (sealed) vintage bottle of the esprit to make a fair comparison since they haven't manufactured one in several decades...
I've read that Edmond Roudnitska was working for De Laire at the time, and he developed most of the base blends they used to sell to other perfumeries to riff off. Seems like most of the major houses of the mid and late 20th century used his dozen or so base blends to create their fragrances.
Gorgeous fragrance Femme was first given to me in 1972 as my first fragrance. Gifted to me by my Godmother on my 12th Birthday. As your video played I just had to grab my current bottle to enjoy while you were describing it. This gift set me off into a Career within the fragrance industry where I worked with many Prestige Brands. Although after a 30 plus year within this exciting and changing Industry is now just fond memories, I still maintain a very extensive Fragrance Wardrobe. The love is never lost. Have subbed up to your Channel and can't wait to hear more reviews on old favourites. Currently L'air du Temps, Femme, L'heure Blue, Youth Dew, Estee, Tentations by Paloma Picasso, Gucci Accenti , even Kim Kardashian because I love the Gardenia so much. These are just a few. Once a fragrance girl, always one. Still have Blue Grass, White Shoulders and a few Juicy Couture because I like the bottles. Also some Anna Sui, Clinique Elixir to name a few. I guess I am a Fragrance a holic. Wear my favs to bed just for my own pleasure. Spray sheets and pillow cases as well as my lamp shades and shower curtains. Which scent is always dependent on my mood. Tonight FEMME it shall be ❤️
Femme is one of Roudnitskas masterpeice creations... even now it is underrated... it should be hyped much more and given many more flowers and praise... but there you have it... a but of a hidden gem... amazing & one of the best chypre frag of all time Glad to have you as a sub & glad to be found 😊
Hi Ramsey, great video. You piqued my interest and I might try to get my hand on the older Rochas Femme Eau de Cologne. Rich Mitch has been talking so much about Rochas Femme that I tried the current EDP for the 1st time last week and I instantly fell in love with it. I loved the evolution of the fragrance which is so unlike the linear modern fragrances. After discussing with Dusan yesterday (he strongly recommended me to buy the Rochas Femme Parfum de Toilette) I've purchased a bottle of the Parfum de Toilette and it is now on its way.'
Haven't sampled Rochas Femme, Guerlain's Mitsouko, or Eau de Hermes. I do enjoy Chypre Palatin, Ottoman Empire, and the list goes on, so I'll have to get my nose on these. Pewter or Coppertop Eau de Hermes. Parfums de Toilet for Rochas Femme. Got it. Excellent comparison video.
I realize I am late, but just picked up what looks to be a full to the top, 50ml of the Parfum de Toilette with the silver Rochas cap for $1 in a second hand scenario. My 16 year old son immediately thought it was "manly". It's dark like a cognac and coke and smells pretty amazing to me. You can't stop sniffing it once you smell it. I would have never given this a second thought had I not seen this video a few weeks ago. Kudos to the Ram.
I am currently in Valencia and snuck a wearing of this from the store and it smelled beautiful wafting in the air conditioned tapas bar. Just bought it now. 🎉
BTW, I think your bottle is a late 70s to early 80s. They stopped making parfum de toilette in 88 when Cresp redid it in 89 and rereleased as an eau de toilette and eau de parfum.
@@RamseytheRam After spending some time on various sites, examining photos of bottles, etc...I do not think that your bottle is as old as Pyro thinks. Initially, I fully concurred with his thoughts. Is it your thought that your bottle is a post 1989 aka Cresp reformulation? At first, I thought that since your bottle is PDT and that was not used after Cresp, now I am not so sure. I think that Pyro does not think that there is any cumin in yours because he thinks that the bottle is older than it is. I think that they may have put Cresp reformulation into some bottles that were PDT. I am just putting this out there as FYI ....no need to answer as it would be cumbersome.
@@terrybojax456 i always assumed it was a late 80s early 90s bottle .. just a feeling i had in my gut... i have nothing to back that up though ... the PDT means its not older than early 90s .. which it could be a cresp reform 🤷♂️
Great comparison.... You've helped me decide that the Perfum de Toilette version is as far back as I need to go. Sounds more my jam deeper darker... Apricot plum rosewood in the top. Nuff said. Lol. ✌🏻
You the older stuff is good and like the additional smokey ness in the base but honestly this experiment has really made me appreciate how good my bottle really is 🙏
i might have my hands on the Parfum "Extrait" Version of it 28ml of 30ml for 60€ i think it's a decent price but is it worth it, especially that currently the 100ml Edt goes around 30€!!
Hey ramsey. Love your reviews! Just recently discovered your channel, I currently have a bottle of rochas femme parfums de toillette in the mail on its way to me, and im wondering, is the leather note worth looking forward to??
Bought this on your recommendation. The bottle I have is a cylindrical parfums de toilet bottle and it lives up to the hype! I like this more than coty chypre honestly!!
I am curious what you think of this Ram, the parfums de toilette that I got has a colour of the original formula, more of this orange tint rather than red, do you think my parfum de toilette could be original formula, it does have a hefty cumin top.
I think my bottle is 40s or 60s. No writing on the bottle. Black top in gold "Marcel Rochas Paris. EdT Femme EdT. On the bottom in raised glass, Marcel Rochas then Paris. If something could help me date it.
Love rochas femme I love the the cresp edp alot too. I need some help looking for eau d'hermes, how the hell do you search for it? Every time I try to search for it all I get is Terre d'hermes and eau des mervellis and shit like that. It's driving me insane.
I know what you mean.. there was an eau d'hermes flaccon i saw some where recently ... try mercarci & ebay and if you cant find it there hit up Anooj or Mudassir 🤷♂️
@@RamseytheRam ya tried Anooj and nada, ebay and mercari are frustrating 🤣🤣 all they want to show me is endless pages of Terre d'hermes when I type eau d'hermes 🤷♂️ I see Mudassir's pictures on Basenotes are they all for sale? It doesn't say anything about the photos like if they are for sale or how much 🤔 I might have to msg him or something as I've never purchased anything through Basenotes before, thanks for the heads up.
@@L-Ondee my first thought was vintage or vintage'ish it doesn't necessarily have to be as old as Ramsey's but I may just have to go for the one I can order through the department store cause other versions are a prick to find. I am sure it's still great I don't think Hermès would screw it.
I just bought the Rochas Parfum de Toilette 4oz when it was labeled “Marcel Rochas” and the other label “atomizer” “oils imported from France and compounded in the USA “ 😱 A friend of mine, a frag-head connoisseur and massive collector says it’s possibly from the late 60s but no later than the 70s
You're right that these videos are making waves, recently saw a comment on one of Pep's videos...along the lines of thoughts on the blind love and following for vintage on videos recently!

I have a few precious drops I am cherishing.. I would love the extrait of Mitsouko & Jicky & Chamade & L'Heure Bleue I should have bought those square extrait bottles while I could
@RamseytheRam the exact same for me & very lucky to have gotten lately Samsara Extrait, which is the Inspiration for Under My Skin ; more similarly than Salome to me so ended up having all of them
@@RamseytheRam it's because of a genetic, soft palate deformity from inbreeding among the projected nobility. The Spanish language adopted a lisp because of this.
Chypre has a p, not an f. It means Cyprus. Now, you're gonna tell me that you don't care, and I knew what you meant... Doesn't stop you sounding like a noodle, though.
You're very welcome mate. It is an Eau de Cologne concentration. So if you spray double, you'll get a more parfum like experience. I do think the smokey, leather comes from real Labdanum and Castoreum.

Licorice root
Clove
Cinnamon
Labdanum(smokey leather, mapley)
Castoreum (smokey,woody,leather, natural rubber).
Oakmoss
Rosewood
Amber
Benzoin
Civet
White musk
The actual parfum is nuclear. They only made it in 1/4 oz to 1oz bottles. Olivier Cresp is the reformulator. I was mistaken.
Spray the rest of that one you showed in the intro. I'll send you a few more.
