How to recognize ROCHAS perfumes.




Famous French fashion designer Marcel Rochas established his fashion house in 1925, followed by his own Perfume factory a few years later. His first perfumes were Air Jeune, Audace and Avenue Matignon (1936), then his most famous scent arrived: "Femme", created by Edmond Roudnitska, launched in 1944.

HOW TO RECOGNIZE 
ROCHAS PERFUMES

(please note: this is a free, personal interpretation, without any official support) 
First of all, remember the "generic clues":
Since 1979: EMB code on the box of all french perfumes
Since 1990: Barcode on the box
Since 1992: GreenDot on the box
Since 2005: "long list of ingredients" on the box of all european perfumes.

Then, keep in mind the Address on the box:
before 2007: "33, Rue Francois 1er, Paris"
after 2007:  "17 Rue de Miromesnil, Paris"

And now the
Batch Codes:
1980-1994
3 digits batch code (last number indicates "the year")

1995-2005
4 (or more) digits: first two numbers indicates the production facility (01,02,03,04,05);
the second-to-last number indicates the month;
and the last number indicates the year

IMPORTANT: the second-to-last number indicates the month, so you find 1= January, 2= February 3=March, etc ..... and 9 = September and finally 0 = October. 
Then letters "N" for November and "D" for December.

Example: "0123" = 01 is "facility code", 2 is "February", 3 is "year 2003".
Example: "0598" = 05 is "facility code", 9 is "September", 8 is "year 1998"  
Example: "0300" = 03 is facility code, 0 is "October", 0 is "Year 2000"
Example: "01N3" = 01 is facility code, N is "November", 3 is "Year 2003"
Example: "02D1" = 02 is facility code, D is "December", 1 is "year 2001" 
(Please note a few numbers and letters could occur at the start/end of the batch code: you should able to "detect" the importnt digits, discarding the useless ones)


since 2006
classic 4-digits "Procter&Gamble" batch code (first number indicates the year, following three are the day of the year: 000 to 365)
Example: 7001 = 2007, January 1st.
Example: 9365 = 2009, December 31st.
