Rochas Aquawoman is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2002, created by Michel Almairac. Aquawoman opens with Sea Water, Bergamot, and Rose, settles into a heart of Hibiscus and Lily, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Mango. Rochas's Aquawoman carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This discontinued aquatic wonder divides opinion: some find it a unique masterpiece, a truly feminine marine scent, while others call it surprisingly masculine. Either way, it's a fresh, salty, and much-missed summer staple.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Aquawoman plunges you into a bracing marine opening, where salty sea water mingles with a whisper of bergamot and the delicate bloom of rose. As it settles, a floral heart of lily and hibiscus emerges, evoking wildflowers by the shore. The dry-down reveals a subtle sweetness of mango, grounded by a clean musk and warm amber, echoing sun-kissed skin after a day by the ocean.
