From Jorge Ben I recommend you 2 albuns at first: Jorge Ben- Acústico MTV (CD2) and África Brasil…

Then you can search for Tropicalia (Caetano was part of it). Maybe you’ll like Tom Jobim and Jorge Ben Jor.

He’s one of my favorites, especially in summer.

Rock in a wet stream is exactly what I imagine! It’s one of my favorites, too.

Eau de Rochas is a classic. I could go back to this or Coriandre and be happy if I never had another perfume. You say rock like it is dirty but I am thinking about a wet rock in a cold stream…One of my all time favorites…EVER!!

Thank you for your comment and your story about lima-de-persia. Yes, Eau de Rochas is wonderful, and I'm with you in hoping that it stays that way.

Such bad news about Rochas being bought by this corporation. As a foreigner, it took me a while to guess what this abbreviation,”P&G” meant Abominable shame! I'm a longtime wearer of Eau de Rochas (I still remember the first bottle I was given, at 11, by a dear uncle). I have a bottle from the good old days, still smelling great after all these years. It's simply my favourite perfume and I'm glad you posted your wonderful commentary. The dominant nose is from “lima-da-pérsia”, a sweet-bitter lemon, the size of an orange, with a thin, yellow-greenish skin I found in Brazil. When in Brazil I usually buy this excellent citrus because it's like eating “Eau de Rochas”. I also save the skins to keep drawers smelling good. I'm sad about the decay of this old and traditional French house, and also sad that the latest (and perhaps last) version of Eau de Rochas is being bottled with a vulgar plastic cap!!! I wonder if the perfume is still the same or similar. They may have cheapened everything…

Thank you! And thank you, too, for a great suggestion for my own cat's name.
