It gives me the sensation of cold running water over a bed of stones, in the middle of a forest full of aromatic plants. Irreplaceable in summer; I always end up buying it even though I’ve promised myself I’ll use another perfume that year. Edited: 5 out of 5 for the original; the reformulated version has lost part of its soul.
I’m fascinated by it, and despite not having the obsession I used to, this fragrance together with the wonderful Loewe Essence of Spain air… are unique. In the end, I always end up buying them.
I don’t know how the new one smells; I know the charismatic Eau de Rochas of old… and it doesn’t tire me. To me, it’s a perfume that reminds me incredibly of the sea, as if I were right there.
Despite the damn reformulations, it remains a 10+ and irreplaceable for summer. This year I bought it again after trying two more modern ones that couldn’t compete with it in the slightest.
I can’t cope with it; I’ve had the same bottle for years and I don’t think I’ll ever finish it. From time to time I feel like spraying myself with it, but I always end up wondering why I did it. It was certainly the worst purchase of my life; it leaves an unbearable cheap cologne smell. It’s disappointing, especially considering how much it cost me.
I love it on other people because it smells fresh and clean, but on me I can’t tolerate it. It gives me a headache.
I’ve been using it for years and, despite its freshness, I loved it… I tend to use scents more intensely, but this one I adore…
My mother’s fragrance from the eighties. Fresh, with a lasting and unique personality. Very beautiful, but I think I’ll never wear it myself; it’s hers and smells like her. The body milk is fantastic; it doesn’t have the same scent, but it doesn’t matter because it’s also excellent, providing great hydration and wellbeing all year round straight out of the shower.
I bought it today. I didn’t like it when I smelled it before, but now its scent attracts me. I’ll try it on my skin for the first time; it brings me nostalgia 😉
By far my favourite; it beats all the others I know by a mile. It was my first perfume at 16: like a fresh cascade where the droplets sparkle in the sun forming a rainbow. Brilliant but not brash, because the citrus softens the moss. I sense it as different from everything else. It was discontinued in Brazil a long time ago; I didn’t have it for years until I bought it online from a shop in Portugal, very expensive. My disappointment: this one I just bought doesn’t have the longevity of before; it lasts nothing on my skin.
What a delightful aroma. To me, it’s unisex and timeless.
I like it, though I let it gather dust over the years. In the nineties it was elegant and very different from other perfumes; many friends bought Zinnia, which was cheaper and similar. What I truly love is the body cream: it leaves the skin soft and the scent lasts longer than the perfume itself. Now I’d like to buy it again, but I don’t trust it. Is it just me, or does it happen to others? When I buy old perfumes, I notice they don’t last as much and seem to smell different.
Eau de Rochas is a classic. With citrusy aromas but Mediterranean nuances. It’s a fragrance that is very popular in my country and remains one of the best-sellers. And why? My personal opinion is that it’s an honest fragrance. It offers what is expected of it: a fresh trail filled with aromatic citrus accords accompanied by a damp, spicy sea breeze scent thanks to the coriander, with its effervescence of mentholated lemon and spice. Many say it’s unisex; I agree, and it’s also versatile and a daytime scent. A distinguished citrus aroma, well-balanced, with green and natural reminiscences, like a summer breeze. For those who want to wear a scent that brings dynamism and energy to the wearer and to those who smell it. Moreover, despite the reformulation it hasn’t lost its charisma; it smells the same and the price is excellent. Eau de Rochas, an honest and fresh fragrance.
Eau de Rochas is a classic with a citrus air and Mediterranean nuances. In my country it still sells hugely decades after its launch. Why? Because it’s honest: it delivers what it promises, a fresh trail of aromatic citrus with a damp, spicy sea breeze thanks to the coriander, effervescence of mentholated lemon and spice. Many say it’s unisex, and I agree; it’s versatile and for daytime. Distinguished citrus, well-balanced, with green and natural touches like a summer breeze. Ideal for those seeking dynamism and energy. Despite the reformulation, it keeps its charisma, smells the same, and has a great price. Honest and fresh.
A well-deserved classic. There are other good fresh scents, but this one is citrus with a mineral note, like water from a stream. Its great virtue is versatility, something key in classics.
My mother’s scent, bottled in that jar that looks like a broken block of ice. Her signature perfume since I can remember: Rochas is her, full stop. Imitated but unsurpassed; a sharp, fine, sandy lemon that awakens and comforts. No pepper, but with the strength of her armour, sparkling and brilliant. Smells like pure winter sun and drunken astringency. Works brilliantly all year: pure light in the cold and a cooling drop in summer. Hard to fail, ideal for women over 35. Long-lasting without being invasive, kind and precise. A ten.
Fresh, yes, but it doesn’t quite convince me. It works well for daytime, though it fades quickly on my skin. It doesn’t smell bad, but it’s not my favourite.
A spot-on unisex fragrance. Citrus base with a wet wood dry-down, intense and surprisingly long-lasting for an eau.
I had this from my grandmother and my mother; it’s a timeless classic: simple, fresh, and perfect for refreshing yourself after a shower.
This scent is the smell of my childhood. My mother, father and sister wore it, and my sister still uses it in her youth. It’s one of the few fresh fragrances that lasts long enough to be a light perfume, reaching up to half a day. On me, it smells like basil with lemon and oak moss; the citrus doesn’t stand out excessively but maintains the freshness. I find Rochas Fraiche more citrusy. It’s completely unisex, looks great on men and women, without age or gender boundaries, with a certain air of maturity. Wonderful in spring, summer and autumn for daytime use, although I can’t think of a situation where it wouldn’t work.
Eau de Rochas is unisex because it’s basically citrus. The difference isn’t gender, but style: Vintage versus Contemporary. The ‘feminine’ version is a powdery, natural, elegant citrus for mature people and all year round, with an old-school aroma (origin 1970). The ‘masculine’ version (1993) is a fresh, modern citrus, more artificial, like current men’s fragrances, for young people seeking a clean or freshly showered scent. I think I’m a man and have both: the feminine is more elegant and the masculine more versatile. If you like vintage, go for the feminine; if you’re young and prefer a ‘sport’ style, the masculine. In both, the performance is medium/short with moderate projection.
It never really appealed to me, but when making homemade perfumes with essential oils, a blend I created smells just like this classic. My formula is dominated by jasmine, bergamot, magnolia, mint, patchouli, rose and orange blossom; the result is almost identical, though less acidic at first, perhaps because I used only bergamot. If you’re addicted to this perfume, this formula achieves almost the same thing. Meanwhile, I hope to find the original formula or something that reminds me of what my mother used: Apple Blossom by Helena Rubinstein. Creating this formula immersed me in the magical world of essential oils and artisanal perfumery.
I like it. On me, it starts with tangerine, then subtle lemon, jasmine with coriander, and finally moss and sandalwood. It’s very pleasant and fresh.
Reformulated again… heartless, what have they done to it? None of the sea, salt, rugged rock or Mediterranean summer scent. Does it smell bad? No. But they took its soul, the essence that made it long-lasting and recognisable. Now it’s just another generic citruchuli, a watery, generic lemon.
Very pretty. I haven’t tried the original, but I like this one. It’s a powdery, fresh and elegant citrus. Ideal for summer.
It’s been my mother’s perfume since before I was born. To me, it smells fresh, light and youthful, yet mature at the same time.
I wore it in summer when I was 13 in 1978; I always loved its freshness and thought it was unisex.
Eau de Rochas conveys the transparency of water: a perfect balance between citrus and very luminous musky-amber notes. Nothing pretentious and super versatile. When I was new to perfumes, it reminded me of a lemon drop; later I understood its depth and performance.
It captivates me because it shouts freedom and security without pretence: it’s a confident girl, fresh as the sea with potent aromatic herbs. It’s not a generic citrus from the bargain bin; open your eyes and notice the nuances! It smells vintage and powdery, yet like a young, mature woman who doesn’t seek to enchant but to feel incredible. Precious and unique, it keeps its main essence just as it did 30 years ago.
Spicy citrus freshness. This cologne is a ‘timeless classic’, and although I have an affection for it, it has never truly taken hold with me. In fact, the scent of the moisturiser I appreciate on other people’s skin seems much richer and more suggestive than the perfume itself. It is fresh, but a freshness that gradually fades to let the moss emerge. As if the window that had been wide open suddenly closed, stopping the light from entering. I imagine it boils down to the fact that the combination of such citrus with moss just doesn’t work for my nose, as I experience the same thing with Lancôme’s Oh!, which is designed with similar schemes. Neither will it help that the person I know who wore this fragrance smoked heavily, as the smell of their perfume mixed with tobacco. I appreciate it on other people’s skin, especially the scent of the moisturiser.
This Eau de Rochas perfume opens very citrusy and fresh, mossy, and I feel it is very vintage; in my opinion, a gentleman could also wear it. I like it, but it doesn’t enchant me on my skin. It lasts about two hours, comes out very citrusy, and fades away until it disappears completely over time.
This was my mother’s signature fragrance for many years. Every time I smell it, I am immediately reminded of my childhood and maternal hugs. To me, this scent remains 100% her. You might wonder why she no longer wears it? Well, the reformulations it has undergone over the years have practically ruined it. Although the scent is fairly similar to the original, the longevity and sillage are much weaker. There must have been a drop in quality, as it used to be a very expensive fragrance years ago, whereas today it could be considered affordable compared to the global rise in designer perfume prices. My mother asked us not to gift it to her anymore because she can’t smell it the same way as she used to. She would previously apply it to her skin, clothes, and accessories, leaving everything smelling of it for days, soaking her wardrobe. Now, she says that after two or three hours, she can’t detect anything at all, not even when sprayed on her clothes. It breaks my heart because, although I have no intention of wearing it myself, I know I won’t be able to smell it when she is around, and the poor performance has taken away her desire to use it more. A good alternative that is even more economical and has a similar style is the fragrance Zinnia; I don’t consider it a clone, but its style is very similar.
A perfume marketed for women, but to my nose, it is a purely unisex vintage. Its composition is simple, smelling of a citrus chypre from the late 1960s. In fact, its notes are more commonly used in men’s perfumery than women’s. I would define Eau de Rochas as a blend of 50% Dior’s Eau Sauvage and the other 50% with Boucheron Pour Homme. A fragrance suitable only for those who enjoy retro aromas. It smells very vintage.
A timeless aromatic citrus classic that never goes out of style. Absolutely unisex and currently very affordable, although it doesn’t last as long as it did in the 90s. I consider it an essential for summer, even if its vintage scent might not appeal to everyone today.
The EDT has a note that repels me a little: after the top notes, the blend of powdery, jasmine, and rose gives it a certain lady-sweat/urine touch (no intention to offend). I do appreciate and much the daring of being a theoretically feminine perfume that breaks the canon of traditional ‘feminine’ notes. Said that, in the Body Milk format it is completely delicious, with a much more muted, chemical, and ‘clean’ scent, which wouldn’t clash on a younger woman. It doesn’t come out badly priced and as a gift for a woman 45+ it’s almost certainly a hit. #getyourmotherinlawright
Yes, but I disagree. Today I tested it again, in a slightly older version, a bottle from 10 or 12 years ago, and I can understand that by today’s standards it might seem unisex, and still, there will be people who find it leaning towards masculine, but for me it isn’t; I feel it is feminine and I like that about it. It is a fresh, delicate, and elegant fragrance that has become somewhat discreet today. Perhaps it is one of the best combinations of coriander, moss, flowers, and vetiver, in a feminine version, that I’ve felt, and that which thirty or forty years ago must have been spectacular in quality and projection. It’s neither invasive nor hysterical, but I suspect it was once extremely sensual with that semi-aldehydic touch that sets it apart from the chocolatey, sweet, candies, fruits, and sugary bits that are so popular today. Dilapidated as it is, it remains a coquettish and youthful fragrance, optimistic without falling into the childish, and versatile, depending on the user’s attitude. The longevity and projection are a bit just but not bad. It is a fragrance I like very much and I appreciate that it remains on sale.
You must also get your mother right if you gift it to her, because if you get your mother-in-law right, having the same age, the success will be enormous. A round purchase. And besides, as her sweat and urine smell as they should for her age, she won’t find it so strange to perfume herself with that, chosen by you two, who, from what you’ve seen, are experts in knowing how the urine of women around 45 smells. Eau de Rochas is one of the best-selling perfumes in Spain year after year, very likely thanks to so many of you gifting it to mums and mothers-in-law. The thing is, when you hadn’t been born, they used to buy it on their own. Have you thought, when you reach that age, 40-50, what gifts your daughters-in-law and daughters will give you? What will you smell like them?
Eau de Rochas is another great fragrance that, sadly reformulated, lost much of its original splendour. Still, ‘those who have, have’, and although the first version is missed, this fragrance still retains part of its charm, though I repeat, it’s not comparable to the one before. Now it’s just an ‘acceptable’ and easy fragrance for spring and summer, plus it’s relatively affordable (no wonder… it was more expensive before, I imagine because it was better). What a pity! But, unfortunately, Eau de Rochas isn’t the only one: almost all perfumes from the big houses have been reformulated. What are the reasons? I’ve read several: cost-cutting, scarcity of plant or flower harvests, increased allergies to ingredients, and adaptation to the tastes of the countries that consume the most (it seems China, the UAE, and Brazil, in that order, are the big consumers, and brands adapt especially to their best clients). In short…
Behind that sweet, pastry-like scent I loved so much, hid these olfactory jewels. How could I ever forget them? My mum’s perfume. She no longer buys it because it doesn’t smell the same as before; what a shame. I managed to find a vintage bottle, identical to my memories. It smells wonderful, please. Moss is the fundamental pillar here; you can tell the quality and the perfect craftsmanship of yesteryear. Just smelling it makes you feel the fine materials. I tried the new version at the airport and was let down: nothing like it! They share only 5%, believe me. If you can get your hands on a vintage one, you won’t change your mind. This perfume takes you to the Mediterranean, inspired by the sea, my dear Mediterranean sea. 🌊 Leave everything behind and travel to a sunny island, with the sea in front, close to the shore, with a charming sea breeze flooding you with that fresh water scent. Behind you lies a beautiful forest with basil, citrus, and above all, oak moss. The closer you get, the more you smell the atmosphere. If you are Mediterranean like me, this takes you home. It smells like home. I currently live outside Spain, where there is no coast and it rains a lot. When I put this on, I smile. It makes me feel at home, and above all, close to my mum. Forget those pastry perfumes. Let yourself be carried away by this beauty. What to say: age doesn’t matter, but maturity does. It’s not for brats or little girls. Men and women who are made and right. Perfectly unisex.
