The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2002 by Rochas, Aquawoman is a Floral Aquatic fragrance created by perfumer Michel Almairac. The composition opens with the bright freshness of sea water and bergamot, evoking the invigorating sensation of a seaside breeze. This marine-aromatic opening gives way to a heart of rose, hibiscus, and lily, bringing a floral warmth that contrasts beautifully with the aquatic notes. A base of mango, musk, and amber adds a touch of tropical sweetness and sensual depth.
Apply Aquawoman to pulse points and allow it to develop for about an hour. The marine top notes are bright but fleeting, so a heavier initial application will help capture that fresh sea breeze. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to skin rather than across the room.
