Description
Tocca is launching a new fragrance of their collection with cheerful composition and bohemian style. Its character is adventurous, and notes of fruit and flower are enchanting for the person using it. The fragrance EMELIA was announced as refreshing and vibrant, because its zests celebrate the spirit of the wish for travelling and exploring.
Emelia opens with aquatic clementine, fruit loquat, bucchu leaves, fig leaves and magnolia tree leaves. The heart adds amaryllis flowers in union with Kadota figs, mate absolute from Paraguay, Bison grass and Florentine iris. The base provides exotic notes of coconut water, delicate sweetness of praline and ambrette seed absolute.
Emelia repeats the shape of previous bottles and is available in the amount of 50 ml. Emelia was launched in 2016.

Gorgeous fragrance. Reminds me very much of Annick Goutal Mio, somehow with more citrus. Long lasting, close to skin and very feminine. It’s very clean and soft. Opens up best in warm weather.
Imagine that its summer time and you just came out of a shower & you falling naked into clean white sheets…… This is the feeling i get wearing this fragrance.

Judging by the note pyramid Emelia should be way up my alley, so I’m disappointed to say I agree with SailorV, whose sample I “inherited”: unfortunately, I’m not a fan either. All those lovely notes are barely discernible, hidden behind a cloud of generic feminine freshness – it has a bit of a shampoo vibe to it, especially in the opening. It’s not a bad scent, and when I pay close attention I do smell some nice aspects to it: a good but very faint milky fig note and just a hint of coconut. But it’s not enough to make this anything more than “just okay”, and I was hoping for so much more. Too bad!

Emelia starts with green notes, fig leaf and a punch of citrus that isn’t sweet enough to resemble mandarin in my opinion. There might be some magnolia, coconut and milky fig in the background, but this is way too tart, sour and sharp for me.
When the citrus vanishes it becomes woody and milky with the fig and its leaf. But as soon as the sourness is gone, the remaining scent is really faint. The base is a very light mixture of fig leaf, greens, some musk and a hint of sunscreen coconut. This part is my favorite, but also the weakest.
Overall I miss some sweetness in this fragrance – the praline note isn’t there at all, the coconut isn’t sweet, and a bit of sweetness would definitely bring balance and give the fragrance some power apart from the sour topnotes blast.
Not a fan.

I mostly smell sharp, musty citrus in the first ten minutes. Its not very pleasant, more like cooked oranges (rind and all). I thought I would love it, since fig and coconut are my favorite combo, but these notes kind of get lost in a mish-mash of citrus-green soup.
Funtom – :
I really don’t enjoy this. I got this in a fragrance coffret of three fragrances and this one was probably the worst. The smell is not at all offensive, but it is very green and kind of reminds me of AXE body spray (for men). I have a very hard time picking out any of the sweet and/or fruity notes. I’m not very fond of green, herby perfumes so this isn’t my cup of tea.

When I married my husband, our first house was a tiny cottage with a fig tree outside the bedroom window. In the morning, when the sun came up, the breeze blowing in the window smelled of green, not-quite-ripe fig and wet fig leaves. That’s what Emelia smells like – green, nearly ripe fig.
If you’re looking for a gourmand, syrupy fig, then this isn’t it. This is the dew-wet green of morning, the delicate first light in the sky.
Beautiful.

Opening: fresh cut grass, Fig leaf, and citrus (loquat). Very green and fresh. It reminds me of Rosabotanica.
Heart: amaryllis/floral
Dry down: tea/mate. Reminds me of several other tea fragrances.
Sillage: soft
Longevity: just a few hours

When I think of fig I usually think of dark and syrupy fig notes. It took me a while to recognize the beautiful green figginess here, but it’s really nice.
I would say this is first and foremost a magnolia fig scent. It’s very floral on me and feels very pretty, but not in a pretty pretty princess sort of way. I get a nice floral fruity scent that I’d say is the loquat. It does have some similarities to kumquat in the first hour, that adds fun interest.
After two or three hours I do get some soapiness alternating with a beautiful green fig scent. I think that soapiness is the iris, making this one of my favorite iris scents. Typically it just doesn’t sit well on me
I’m liking it. Sadly it’s gone by hour 5.

I love pleasant surprises! I didn’t have any expectations for this one because I don’t like fruity florals, and they all smell pretty much the same to me, but I actually really liked it a lot. It smells very clean and pleasant -doesn’t smell like a garden on steroids (which is what florals usually smell like to me), laundry detergent (which is usually what “clean” scents smell like to me), or a sugar bomb (which is generally what fruity florals smell like to me). I tried the rollerball, and for such a a light scent, it had decent sillage initially, and I could still smell it as a skin scent 6 hours later and after a yoga workout. When I got home and looked at the notes, I see why I like it – it has a lot of green, all it’s notes are rather unusual, and it has fig – love fig. Definitely worth a try if you’re looking for something in the fruity floral category that doesn’t smell like everything else. Nice little gem.

On me this is all watery green citrus notes. Sadly, I’m not getting any of the fig or coconut that others are. Definitely unisex and even a little masculine. It’s not bad, but not what I was looking for. And IMO it smells nothing like Philosykos, my HG fig scent.
sergikani – :
Really nice and juicy. Fresh and darling. It reminds me of the smell of papaya fruit. Very sweet! Good for spring summer use and is a very safe scent, even so for a blind buy.
Lasting power is good, 4-6 hours on the back of my hand.

I love this fragrance….maybe even more than I can remember loving another….maybe. NOT a knock your socks of choice, so if you are wanting to make a large statement this will probably not be the one for you. I refer to this as my “Grace under fire” perfume. This is because I cannot think of a better way to describe how it makes me feel. It smells like Grace in a bottle to me. If I anticipate the kind of day where I need to keep my cool in the face of adversity or juggle many things at once flawlessly…I will always Choose Tocca Emelia. All of the sweet notes are divine. And although I am not really a “green notes” lover, This one has just the perfect amount to make me feel fresh and clean as well as sweet. This will be repurchased by me the second I get low. A staple in my life. Sweet, sweet Emelia…..

This is the loveliest fig fragrance I’ve smelled in years, It’s like Premier Figueur in that it has lots of fig blossoms as well as a touch of juicy fig fruits. The loquat (probably my all time favorite fruit) is unmistakable, and it’s just mesmerizing. This is the only fragrance I’ve smelled with loquat that I can truly smell the loquat. Swooooooooooooooon.Beautiful, wonderful scent!

These Tocca girls, are they sisters, or cousins who bear a striking resemblance to one another? I find a good number of these girls to be riffs on the same floral notes. That is not to same they smell the same, but more that many are sweet clean florals that would be just at home in the laundry or bath as they are perfume.
Very bright and fresh, there really aren’t a lot of identifiable notes that jump out at me in this for some reason, other than green grass and sweet flowers. The iris makes it a bit darker and less sparkly than, say Isabel, but she’s more like her sisters than, say, Cleopatra, who is a beast unto herself.
The longevity is whisper in the breeze, however, and really needs improvement. I broke one of those delicate glass sample bottles of Emelia on my wood floor recently and was worried that I would never smell anything else in that room again. By morning, it was but a faint trace..my wallflower plug-in in the next room was stronger in the air.
SAVO – :
I’m not getting any creaminess other reviewers are. This is very fresh, green, and citrus-y on me. It’s almost cologne-like, it has a subtle masculinity on me. But I like that. It’s very different from other Tocca scents. It has unisex appeal and seems to be one of those scents that you can wear without really thinking about it. It’s very clean and appropriate for most occasions. It reminds of Bianca in that regard. It’s not show-stopping, but it’s dependable.
I can’t put my finger on it, but this is very similar to something by Atelier Cologne as well.

I don’t understand the lukewarm reviews. I find this unique and quite pretty. At first, it’s very grassy and green and quite woody, I wasn’t sure it was something I would even like, the scent of freshly cut grass isn’t my fav thing. But, quickly it dries down to fig, sweet orange, tiniest bit of coconut, amber and iris. It all boils down to fresh, sweet and a bit musky. It’s best on a hot and high humidity day.
Im_4ydo – :
What a remarkably “meh” fragrance. Very, very faint. The green fig smell is nice, especially with the nutty undertone, but the whole thing is so subtle and forgettable…I’d heard a lot about Tocca fragrances and hoped for something more. This one doesn’t seem to live up to the hype.
Seathfaft – :
I tried this in Sephora the other day. It smelled very floral citrus on me – which I liked, but the staying power was not the best. Three, four hours tops. And I was fairly generous with my sprays. Not sure if that’s typical for Tocca? I’d never tried any of their fragrances before.

On me, this ended up being a citrusy floral. I didn’t get fig or coconut, which was disappointing. It smells fresh and sharp on this cool rainy day, but maybe the creaminess other reviewers smelled would be more evident on a warm day. Not a favorite, but okay.
конструктор – :
I don’t always like fig scents, but it works well with the creamy coconut. It is pleasant enough, but a bit soft and understated for my taste. Very sweet and feminine.
kalina71389 – :
Really lovely in the beginning – creamy coconut, grass, and the earthiness of the figs. After about 30 minutes that all fades and this just becomes a nondescript white floral.

When I first sprayed her she was a tad sweet but mostly very clean and green. After she settled down all her sweetness vanished, and without it to soften her edges, Emelia became very sharp. I was about to scrub it off it was so bad but I let her sit a bit longer and she mellowed out and became a bit soapy. Overall this is a very clean green fresh sent. No floral, no citrus, no sweetness. I imagine fresh laundry drying in a field of grass.
dimonagf – :
Really nice, actually – there’s a strong coconut note that brings creaminess to the green figs. To me it’s an herbal scent, albeit a nice sweet & milky one. Quite lactonic, and smells veeery similar to Terry de Gunzburg Flagrant Delice, with the Terry being a bit stronger on the milky coconut.
