What it is:

One of the rare legendary perfumes, Eau de Rochas with its citrus fragrance trail was created in 1948 and commercialised in 1970. Eau de Rochas, the first women's cologne in the history of perfumery, cultivates the modern elegance of paradoxes. Delicate as a freshly picked armful of flowers – fragrant Narcissus, Jasmine and Lily of the Valley, infused with citrus and Verbena. Effervescent as a waterfall – fresh with opulent Chypre and deep woody notes of Myrrh, Patchouli and Oak Moss.

In 1925, at the age of 23, Marcel Rochas founded the couture house Rochas, inspired by essential values, a bold spirit, joie de vivre and elegance. He invented a unique vision of femininity: one that is comfortable, nice to wear, but also sumptuous to look at. Rochas Femme, created in 1945 and dedicated to his wife Hélène – this fragrance marked the beginning of a love story between the Maison and perfume. The Maison also went on to create Byzance, Madame Rochas and l’Eau de Rochas, which made their mark on the world of perfumery.
