About the Brand

Marcel Rochas founded his couture house in Paris in 1925, at the age of 23. He launched his first three fragrances — Audace, Air Jeune and Avenue Matignon — in 1936. Following his death in 1955, Hélène Rochas took over the helm and developed the company into a luxury fragrance brand.

The brand's philosophy is built on boldness, elegance and freedom. Elegance is understood as a matter of style, not of current trends.

Byzance 2019 thus continues the brand's fragrance tradition and its vision of elegance, boldness and freedom.
