The houses of Rochas introduced its new perfume in early April 2011 under the name of Muse de Rochas. The in-house perfumer Jean-Michel Duriez wanted to dedicate this fragrance to the founder Marcel Rochas, who gifted the famous perfume Femme Rochas to his wife Helene at the day of their wedding. This perfume is a hymn to creation and to muses that inspire, said Duriez.Muse de Rochas is designed for ladies who wear perfume as a piece of haute couture garment. The composition is oriental floral, fresh, vivid and lively. It opens with aromas of fruits and greens of banana leaf, bergamot, orange sap, peach and mango. White flowers are in the heart, typically for Rochas, including orange blossom and narcissus, accompanied by cinnamon. Australian sandalwood, Madagascar vanilla, styrax, amber and white musk form the warm base of the perfume.
