Rock River Melody
Regular price $ 275.00Rock River Melody is a rich, complex fragrance of sharp green notes and spicy woods with a hypnotic, endlessly lasting amber base.
From Regime des Fleurs
A muddy ride on horseback in sparkling green Fontainebleau forest. Leather grease on metal. The heavy bass of hip hop collective Odd Future. Woody, sharp, masculine elements.
From Christopher Niquet & Alia Raza
For a pony named Rock River Melody. Christopher and I worked together to capture that feeling of striking out into the outdoors for the first time after a long winter. Crisp spring mornings with young leaves on trees and flowers just beginning to bud. We envisioned the magic of the ancient forest of Fontainebleau outside of Paris whose vistas have been captured by artists and inhabited by French aristocracy for a millennium.

I'm typically drawn to woodsy Fall/Winter scents and nauseated by Spring/Summer scents so when I discovered Regime des Fleurs somewhat by accident I was thrilled to find a house with plenty of unique warm weather scents that don't make me want to wash them off immediately.
I don't know what it is, but when I first spray this on something reminds me of when you unwrap a stick of cinnamon Trident gum before putting it in your mouth. After that subsides it becomes an intoxicating, white floral with enough woods to make it lean rugged.
I already have about three more bottles from the house on my wish list.
This is lovely and delicate. It went immediately on my full bottle list.
I found some other scents from the brand I absolutely LOVE. Green Vanille and Falling Trees. I can appreciate the complexity of this fragrance. I really wanted to like it. There were notes coming through that I did find slightly intoxicating but the powderiness overpowered it. It began to smell like an overbearing powdery old man cologne. I am prone to migraines and it started to give me a migraine so I had to scrub it off (it’s lingering). I think the scent could work for someone, but it didn’t work for me.
I purchased the sample, I heard about the scent from a YouTube video. It is a beautiful sent once it mellows a little bit. Fresh on the skin.. It’s a little intense. It grows on you, and I may purchase in a larger size. It definitely gives unique signature scent vibes. I’m so glad a sample was available because there was no way I was going to be able to try the scent in store. It makes me think of rich vintage 60s authentic princess vibes, with a subtle moodiness.

It's kind of astonishing how off the notes are from the actual scent. It has an overbearing almost powdery dryer sheets smell. It's all floral/rose/clean - there's nothing green or woody about it.
