Rochas Globe is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1990, created by Jean-Claude Ellena. Globe opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Cumin, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Marigold, Fir, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Rochas's Globe carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Divisive, intriguing, and undeniably classic. Globe is a complex, green-floral leather that wears its 90s heritage proudly. It's not for everyone, but those who 'get' it absolutely adore its sophisticated 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.

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.

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

Globe opens with a bright, aromatic burst of bergamot and lemon, softened by a hint of spicy cumin and artemisia. This fresh introduction swiftly gives way to a sophisticated heart, where green fir and warm carnation mingle with subtle rose and jasmine, creating a unique floral masculinity. As it settles, a rich, refined base of smooth leather, cedar, and earthy vetiver emerges, providing a grounding depth without ever becoming heavy or overtly animalic.
