Eau de Rochas
Citrus, verbena and white flowers rest on oakmoss, myrrh and patchouli.
Perfumer: Nicolas Mamounas
Eau de Rochas expresses the freedom and bright approach to life associated with Hélène Rochas. Introduced in 1970, this eau de toilette combines the freshness of blue skies and coastal landscapes with flowers and a deeper chypre base.
Bergamot, mandarin and lemon meet greener verbena in the opening. Narcissus, jasmine and lily of the valley extend that citrus brightness into a floral heart. Oakmoss, myrrh and patchouli provide quieter woody, earthy and resinous depth beneath the freshness.
It suits a preference for citrus with flowers and a more substantial finish. A signature creation by Nicolas Mamounas, it comes in thick, clear 100 mL glass with surfaces suggesting water and rock, a cut transparent cap and a silver band.
