The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

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.

How to wear it

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

The perfumer of transparency

Jean-Claude Ellena is widely regarded as the most intellectual perfumer of the modern era — a minimalist poet whose work redefined what fragrance could be.

“Cézanne's watercolours contain areas of wash that don't overlap. I proceed in a similar fashion.”
