L'HEURE BLEUE EXTRAIT DE PARFUM GUERLAIN + TOCADE DE ROCHAS

L’Heure Bleue (Guerlain) / Archives Gilbert Bendoni

Launch Year: 1912
Concentration: Extrait de Parfum
Olfactive Family: Floral Oriental
Perfumer: Jacques Guerlain

A landmark in perfumery and the definitive expression of the powdered floral genre. This original formulation is all about volume, mélancolie, and olfactive chiaroscuro.

At its heart, an overdose of Methylionone 100%, Heliotropin, and Coumarin build a soft, melancholic haze. Orange Flower, Tuberose, and Jasmin bring floral luminescence, while Nutmeg, Eugenol, and Pepper Oil ground the bouquet in spice.

Notes of Vanillin, Dimethyl Anthranilate, and Rose Absolute paint the emotional arc of twilight—sweet, nostalgic, and surprisingly modern in structure.

Tocade (Rochas) / Archives Gilbert Bendoni

Launch Year: 1994
Concentration: EDT
Olfactive Family: Floral Oriental
Perfumer: Maurice Roucel

Tocade is unapologetically sensual, playful, and one of the most finely calibrated sweet powdery florals of the '90s.

Galaxolide, Iso E Super, and Exaltolide form a tactile musky base, while Vanillin, Ethylvanillin, and Heliotropin evoke the softness of powdered skin. The green floral core—Geranium, Cis 3 Hexenyl Salicylate, and Rose Oxide—adds dynamism and contrast.

Tocade is both intimate and radiant, like lipstick, silk, and a stolen kiss. The formula balances classical elegance with gourmand insouciance—an everyday seduction.
