Rochas · 1978
Mystere
Rochas Mystère opens with a sharp galbanum-and-bergamot strike that feels almost metallic in its brightness, a green jolt that clears the air before the florals arrive.
Rochas · 1993
Eau de Rochas Homme
Eau de Rochas Homme opens with basil sharpening the citrus — lime, lemon, bergamot, mandarin — into something more aromatic than merely fresh.
Rochas · 1987
Byzance
Byzance opens with the culinary precision of a professional kitchen — lemon and basil together, brightened by cardamom's warm spice.
Rochas · 1984

Eau de Rochas
The first spray delivers an unapologetic citrus barrage—lime and bergamot shot through with green basil, sharp enough to feel like cold water on skin.
