En avril un soir is a very commercial version of.... Madame Rochas (+ a hint of Caleche). Lighter and with a simpler drydown compared to the original model.
Oh, interesting. Thank you for the heads up.
I recently bought a bottle of Madame Rochas edp from a seller in France because it is nearly impossible to find in the US although I saw it in Paris at Sephora. I was very disappointed by it as it seemed to have been compromised or reformulated. The seller swore it came directly from the factory (?)
