Eau de Rochas Escapade en Méditerranée

This is described by perfumer Sophie Labbé as the invigorating evocation of a tangy sea breeze. In other words, for those longing for escape and fresh air, L'Eau de Rochas Escapade en Méditerranée is a fragrance that promises to steal the heart.

Rochas' journey through time and space

The story of L'Eau de Rochas came to life in 1970 through the hands of perfumer Nicolas Mamounas. His inspiration came from a trip to Greece in 1969. There, the creator watched the day break over Delphi. He let himself be surprised by the beauty of the place, and more particularly by the Castalian Spring. This place was, moreover, full of many olfactory subtleties. Nicolas Mamounas thus let himself be overwhelmed by this water striking the rock, surrounded by plant scents and warmed by the first rays of sunlight. He decided to turn it into a perfume, and it now stands as a true legend, the undisputed best-seller of the house of Rochas. Also, while this first opus was born in the Mediterranean region, its new flanker reinforces this aspect even further and pays tribute to the history of this essence. L'Eau de Rochas Escapade en Méditerranée offers a genuine journey of the senses. While the original scent of L'Eau de Rochas was inspired by clear, limpid spring water, L'Eau de Rochas Escapade en Méditerranée instead takes us to the seaside, carrying the sea breeze tickled by the sun as it caresses the Mediterranean shore.

The new freshness of L'Eau de Rochas Escapade en Méditerranée

L'Eau de Rochas Escapade en Méditerranée is a fragrance full of luxury, calm and voluptuousness. It is intended for women and comes across as a concentrate of sun-drenched joie de vivre. Moreover, its scent opens on a blend of citrus typical of this region of the globe. L'Eau de Rochas Escapade en Méditerranée contains bergamot, a fruit resulting from the crossing of the lemon tree and the bitter orange tree, known for its gentle freshness devoid of any bitterness. Its sparkling character is then heightened by the presence of lemon. Then, a more floral and aromatic heart takes over. L'Eau de Rochas Escapade en Méditerranée notably contains orange blossom, the quintessential Mediterranean white flower, and sambac jasmine. Basil, for its part, enhances the whole with its typically Italian impertinence. Finally, more pronounced notes appear in the base of this fragrance. It is structured by the woody presence of cedar. Ambergris, meanwhile, gives this fragrance a more sun-kissed and animalic aspect. This raw material, moreover, comes from the sperm whale and forms a kind of small pebble floating in the waves and shaped by the tides. This highly prized ingredient in perfumery is further enhanced by the presence of musk. The whole becomes utterly sensual.
