The fragrance's story and background 

Created in 1998 by perfumer Gilles Romey, the Rocabar fragrance draws its inspiration from the equestrian world. Its name, derived from "rug" and "à barres", refers to the traditional saffron wool horse blanket with red and blue stripes, made in Hermès workshops. The bottle, inspired by the lanterns of the carriages of yesteryear, is topped with a black cap, reminiscent of the horseman's bomb, and bears the emblematic label illustrated by Philippe Dumas, a sign of belonging to the Parfums-Fondateurs collection.
