Madame Rochas made its debut in 1960 and was reimagined in 1989 with a second edition. Crafted by master perfumer Guy Robert, this fragrance opens with vibrant top notes of aldehydes, bergamot, lemon, and neroli. At its heart lies a lush floral bouquet, featuring jasmine, rose, tuberose, lily-of-the-valley, orris root, ylang-ylang, violet, and narcissus. The base notes unfold into a warm, grounding blend of sandalwood, vetiver, and musk, enhanced by rich undertones of cedar, oakmoss, and tonka bean.
