Rochas can boast of being a true pillar of French couture. Its history began in 1925, immediately taking shape through a fashion synonymous with joie de vivre and elegance. These are also elements found in the house's fragrances. Among them, Eau de Rochas is a timeless classic that was created in 1970. Initially intended for women, this fresh fragrance also won over male customers, becoming a timeless unisex product. In 2023, its story continues. Rochas now presents Eau de Rochas Citron Soleil.
It was while he was on vacation in Greece that Nicolas Mamounas, nose of the Rochas house, had the idea of creating a summery, sun-kissed, mineral fragrance: the timeless Eau de Rochas. Created in 1970, it is currently one of the finest achievements of contemporary perfumery. Just as appreciated by men as by women, Eau de Rochas keeps making headlines. In an aura that is still very luminous and Mediterranean, it returns to the forefront, this time becoming Eau de Rochas Citron Soleil. Let us look in more detail at what this new fragrance is made of…
A fresh burst of lemon
Eau de Rochas Citron Soleil clearly relies on citrus to win us over. This is immediately suggested by its name as well as by its yellow bottle. As you will have understood, lemon is the star ingredient of this creation. It appears from the top notes of this fragrance. Its zesty breath perfectly echoes an active lifestyle. This juice is aimed at the dynamic men and women of our time. Eau de Rochas Citron Soleil is immediately freshened with neroli, with a more floral, suave breath. Its tangy aspect is further paired with the green crispness of fig tree leaves.
The floral, lively heart of Eau de Rochas Citron Soleil
Then, Eau de Rochas Citron Soleil continues to set the scene, presenting us with a lemon grove in bloom, on a beautiful spring day. This translates into a more floral addition. The heart of Eau de Rochas Citron Soleil is bathed in a rosy accord. Orange blossom, for its part, helps reinforce its luminosity and its Mediterranean character. Then, like all its predecessors, Eau de Rochas Citron Soleil lets itself be won over by a more aquatic, refreshing sensation. It seems to hold within it all the spirit of the sea spray buffeting the coasts of southern Europe.
The more enveloping base of Eau de Rochas Citron Soleil
Finally, far from being a simple traditional Eau de Cologne, Eau de Rochas Citron Soleil is a multifaceted fragrance rich in several layers. In its base, it trades its tangy aspect for warmer, more enveloping tones. White musks give it a softer, more cottony breath. These are paired with a more sensual amber accord. Finally, for greater persistence and impeccable longevity, Eau de Rochas Citron Soleil ends with a final woody accord. The result, according to the house, is a sun-kissed and enveloping fragrance, freshened by a tangy wave, for a comfortable and radiant wear.
For variety, note that Eau de Rochas has already been declined into different compositions. Each year, Rochas enjoys creating limited editions of it, as demonstrated for example by Eau de Rochas Escapade Exotique from 2019, Eau de Rochas Escapade en Méditerranée from 2016, or Eau de Rochas Tropicale from 2018.
