In 1970, Nicolas Mamounas worked with this formula and the fragrance was reintroduced. However, in 1974, the Hoffmann LaRoche company, the proprietors of the word trade mark ' Roche ', had taken action against the perfumery company Rochas, who used the name Eau de Roche. The resulting lawsuit forced Rochas to rename the fragrance as Eau de Rochas in 1976.
