Eau De Rochas
It’s fair to say this brand covers a lot of ground when it comes to the best fragrance accords and Eau De Rochas is no exception. Lighter than most but just as delicious, this subtle scent is one of our favorites for the working week and makes a great signature scent for Monday to Friday occasions. It’s citrusy but aromatic, fresh spicy but woody, and a little earthy and green all at once.

Desir De Rochas
When it comes to feminine scents, there’s no bottle we’d rather pick up than Desir De Rochas. Fruity, floral, and sweet, this timeless scent was first launched back in 2007 and has remained one of our go-to bottles ever since. Renowned for its fruity top notes and floral heart, this is a perfume that settles into something gorgeously rich as the hours pass by. Pay attention for its prominent strawberry and rose notes.

Tocade by Rochas
Tocade by Rochas offers something a little different from the brand, dancing between multiple contrasting accords to produce a perfume that works its magic differently on each person. While initially it’s floral, fruity, and powdery, its heart and base notes lean further into the unisex part of the spectrum, filled with aromatic, woody, and fresh spicy accords. Overall? This is a fragrance that has the room talking, in the best way possible.

Byzance 2019 Edition by Rochas
Byzance 2019 Edition by Rochas might just be the most regal-looking bottle from the brand and it’s a perfume we’ll always keep at the forefront of our fragrance wardrobe. A modern interpretation of the house classics, Byzance 2019 Edition follows the initial release back in 1987 and was designed to emulate a modern fairytale. Ambery and floral, it blends bergamot, pear, and neroli with vanilla absolute, musk, and blond woods.

Mademoiselle Rochas by Rochas
Mademoiselle Rochas was designed for the woman who knows what she wants and uses her powers to achieve it.

Paying tribute to the classic Madame Rochas from 1960, Mademoiselle Rochas, is more contemporary homage to the French chic lifestyle with notes of rose petals and Egyptian jasmine, balanced with ambergris, sandalwood, and musk.
