Rochas
Elegance, simplicity, and the spirit of Paris.
Rochas was founded in Paris in 1925 by Marcel Rochas, a couturier who treated clothes and perfumes as aspects of the same visual language. His most significant fragrance contribution came with Femme, created in 1943 with perfumer Edmond Roudnitska — a warm, chypre-structured composition built around plum and patchouli that predated the powdery chypre category and remained a reference point for decades. The house also produced Madame Rochas in 1960 and Moustache in 1949, one of the oldest continuously produced masculine fragrances still available. Marcal Rochas died in 1955 and the house passed through several corporate owners. Interparfums acquired the fragrance rights in 2015 and has since used the Rochas name primarily as a fragrance brand rather than a fashion house. The contemporary catalog spans archive reprints and new releases; Dominique Ropion and Pierre Bourdon have contributed to the modern range.

Each column is an era. Each colored band shows that family’s share of accord weight across every perfume the house released in that window. Bigger band = the house leaned harder on that family.
