Jacques Cavallier

"Alchimie is a warm amber-floral fragrance introduced by Rochas in 1998. Its opening combines ripe peach and plum with pear, black currant, lilac, citrus, and green accents. The heart develops into a soft floral composition featuring acacia, wisteria, coconut, heliotrope, jasmine, rose, and lily-of-the-valley. Its drydown is notably sweet and enveloping, built around caramel, vanilla, tonka bean, amber, sandalwood, licorice, and musk. The overall character is rich, fruity-floral, powdery, and softly oriental. Alchimie has developed a nostalgic reputation as a distinctive and increasingly difficult-to-find Rochas fragrance."

Reviews Summary

“Alchimie is generally experienced as a warm, rich, sweet fruity-floral oriental. Peach, plum, coconut, caramel, and vanilla are especially prominent, creating a creamy and softly powdery character with a sophisticated drydown. It is often remembered as distinctive, nostalgic, and substantial in presence.”
