Rochas Lui Rochas is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003, created by Michel Almairac and Amandine Clerc-Marie.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Opens with a zesty burst of lemon and bitter neroli, quickly softening into a heart of dry, refined cedar. The base settles into a rich, enveloping blend of earthy patchouli, creamy vanilla, and luminous amber. It’s a sophisticated, woody-citrus creation with an undeniable warmth.
