Globe by Rochas, launched in 1990 and crafted by Jean-Claude Ellena, is an aromatic leather fragrance that encapsulates the essence of adventure and sophistication. The composition opens with a vibrant citrus-aromatic blend of bergamot, artemisia, and lemon, creating a fresh and invigorating start. This transitions into a complex heart of carnation, rose, jasmine, and geranium, adding layers of floral warmth. The base notes of leather, sandalwood, vetiver, and cedar provide depth and an enduring earthy quality that resonates throughout the day.

Application Tips
Globe is best applied in moderation — a single spray on each wrist allows the citrus notes to bloom while letting the leather base develop over time. It pairs well with layering under a jacket for added warmth and depth.
Jean-Claude Ellena
Founding perfumer · 104 fragrances · French
As a disciple and close friend of the legendary Edmond Roudnitska (creator of “Le Parfum de Thérèse”), Jean-Claude Ellena began his career with a minimalistic approach to perfumery. Since then, he has developed this approach into his own distinctive style, which is continually informed by his elegant and quiet way of being, and has been compared by his contemporaries to watercolor sketches and chamber music. Jean-Claude says that a perfume must be like “a soft caress; nothing must shock, nothing must shout”.Jean-Claude Ellena was born in Grasse into a family of perfumers. His training began at age 17, in the most prestigious laboratories – in Grasse, Paris, New York and Geneva – where he always saw himself as self-taught. Roudnitska’s minimalism never left him, however, and his compositions remain focused around a single ingredient, avoiding repetition.
