The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Jacques Cavallier Belletrud launched Aquaman by Rochas in 2001, creating a fragrance that balances aromatic freshness with woody warmth. The composition opens with the crisp brightness of grapefruit and cypress, while eucalyptus adds a refreshing camphoraceous edge. As it settles, sage and coriander introduce a subtle spiciness, giving way to the rich earthiness of cedar and cardamom. This interplay between freshness and warmth makes Aquaman a versatile fragrance that can transition from day to night.

How to wear it

A single spray is sufficient — the grapefruit and cypress top notes are bright but fleeting. The scent leans more towards its warm, spicy base over time, so let it settle for at least 10 minutes before heading out.
