The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1970 by Rochas and crafted by Nicolas Mamounas, Eau de Rochas is a Citrus Aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of freshness and earthy warmth. The composition opens with vibrant citrus notes like lime and lemon, paired with aromatic herbs such as basil and verbena. This bright beginning transitions into a heart of floral accords including jasmine and narcissus, while the base notes of patchouli, oakmoss, and vetiver provide depth and earthiness. Eau de Rochas stands out for its ability to balance crisp freshness with rich, woody undertones.
For best results, apply Eau de Rochas lightly to pulse points. The vibrant top notes will fade within an hour, but the woody base notes will linger throughout the day. It's perfect for daytime wear when you want a fresh, subtle scent that evolves as it settles on your skin.
