THE CREATION
Composed by perfumer Gilles Romey in 1998, Rocabar is inspired by the equestrian world. A contraction of the English word ‘rug’ and the French words ‘à barres’ (meaning ‘striped’), its name alludes to the traditional horse blanket in saffron-coloured wool with red and blue stripes manufactured in the Hermès workshops.
OLFACTORY NOTES
With a woody, amber character, Rocabar eau de toilette for men combines the warm notes of cedar with lively cypress and enveloping, balmy benzoin.
THE OBJECT
The bottle, inspired by the lanterns of horse-drawn carriages, has a black cap reminiscent of a riding hat. The back label is illustrated with a design by Philippe Dumas, indicating that it belongs to the Parfums-Fondateurs collection.
THE PARFUMS-FONDATEURS COLLECTION
The Parfums-Fondateurs collection draws inspiration from the house’s heritage. Each creation encapsulates Hermès’ imaginary world in a name, a fragrance and a colour. Over the years, Hermès has pioneered a bold style of perfumery, resulting from encounters with exceptional perfumers.
