Created by Maurice Roucel for Rochas, Tocade opens on bergamot and rose, moves through an overdosed rose-and-iris heart, and closes on vanilla, amber, musk, and benzoin. Roucel's dense, candied treatment of rose against a thick vanilla-benzoin base produced an unusually sweet, gourmand-leaning rose distinct from more traditional powdery or green rose compositions, and it remains one of Roucel's most distinctive and celebrated early works.
