Rochas Fleur d' is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1996. Fleur d' opens with Melon, Apricot, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Water Hyacinth, Rose, Lily of the Valley, and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Rochas's Fleur d' carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A much-loved, discontinued aquatic floral that embodies 90s freshness. It's truly a shame this bright, uplifting scent isn't widely available anymore, as it garnered a devoted following for its unique charm.

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.

Several reviews highlight Fleur d'Eau as an 'inoffensive office scent' and an 'everyday' choice, perfect for warm, casual days. Its light, fresh, and bright profile, despite mentions of moderate longevity and sillage, makes it versatile for a variety of daytime and relaxed settings, though perhaps too understated for formal events.

About

Fleur d'Eau opens with a juicy splash of blackcurrant, melon, and apricot, quickly giving way to a dewy heart of water hyacinth, lotus, and lily of the valley. A hint of mimosa adds a soft, powdery florality, while the base of vetiver, sandalwood, and amber provides a gentle, grounding warmth. It's a fresh, watery floral with a touch of fruity sweetness and a smooth, elegant drydown.
