Rochas Eau de Rochas is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1970, created by Nicolas Mamounas. Eau de Rochas opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Grapefruit, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Rose, Jasmine, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Rochas's Eau de Rochas carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A divisive citrus classic, Eau de Rochas splits opinion with its sharp, vintage charm. Some find it a refreshing summer essential, while others are put off by its 'old-school' or 'masculine' edge. Love it or hate it, it's certainly got character.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Unleash a bracing burst of Mediterranean citrus, with zesty lemon, lime, and bergamot sharpened by a crisp basil note. As it settles, a floral heart of jasmine and narcissus emerges, underpinned by a green, earthy blend of oakmoss and vetiver. Hints of patchouli and amber give it a rich, grounding depth, creating a sophisticated cologne with a unique bitter-fresh appeal. It's sunshine and wet stones in a bottle.
