The passages from the head to the heart, and finally to the bottom are well marked and soon we reach an unexpectedly warm woody bottom, with some resinous overtones. Then, little by little, this composition turns towards a more woody and resinous base. Vétiver and cedar play a fundamental role here, supported by weaker and slightly subdued notes of oak moss, and certainly a synthetic note. Pencil shavings come out loud in the base, followed by notes of damp undergrowth warmed by the sun. I can’t say I can detect any musk, even though it should be there. In its place, however, I perceive dusty notes of vanilla,or coumarin more in general. In 2023 this smell is as good as ever, was abit surprised how well a now 30 year old release acctually is still, I had to try the other day and I guess there's no way around it, I must have it! Geranium and basil are finely balanced. It becomes somewhat synthetic for me from the heart note on and approaches some long known scents. The juniper was just a little farther away. Personally, I would have liked more of that,
THE BOTTLE. A sophisticated glass bottle with deep blue striped pattern relief, just like its case. On the bottle a metal plate signs the fragrance, while its base is engraved with the Rochas seal. Its case features the Rochas band, a symbol of distinction. I find' the pretty generic (did not know the word until yesterday, but have seen it on Google). Is' halt so'n blue, you know, so stupid Chanel, but just unschanellig, but also not as bad as Y and so. Can you spray on it, so now really smells better than a disinfectant, even has 78 revolutions ... aba, so I do not know so right. " (Smells his wrist and frowns) "No, I think there's something better. But like I said, you can do it, it's pretty cheap."L'HOMME ROCHAS de Rochas is a men's Eau de Toilette belonging to the Fougère Oriental fragrance family. It was launched in 2020 by the perfumer Bruno Jovanovic, who knew how to capture the modernity of the urban man without losing the chic elegance of Rochas. The freshness in the morning to wake up, either from fruity shower gel or the smoothie for breakfast. In the office it appears clear and structured, almost synthetic, unobtrusive and likeable. Towards the end he becomes warm and cuddly. You would just have to make sure that you are already out of the office and rather in the restaurant, in the café. Otherwise he might ask the wrong people to cuddle.
Let a fragrance be the finishing touch to your distinguished and refined style. Rochas L'Homme Rochas eau de toilette is an aromatic journey of sophistication and charm. The amber fougere fragrance enchants the senses with its warm and inviting aroma, evoking the essence of refined masculinity.The name has four and a half points for its appealing simplicity, and because the name is as classic as the fragrance. That's all, because subjectively, I don't like the sound of the word "Rochas". And then I find that the 2015-er is so different from the 1993-er (in terms of the components) that one should have taken a new name. After all, in 1930 it was still a good idea to call a fragrance "Monsieur de XY" or "Eau de XY Homme". Anno 1993 or 2015 with a supplier who also carries several other men's fragrances, this is a little too creative for me. Except the fragrance is as highly original as "Dior Homme", then the name may be boring.
Deny thy father and refuse thy name! Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I’ll no longer be a Capulet.” Hearing the fragrance so contemporary, not at all dated, makes me think Rochas has successfully reformulated it for the better. The aroma is pleasant and the combination of citrus notes with resinous and smoky ones. I find it brilliant and successful. I don’t perceive marine or salty notes. We got the freshness of this perfume from citrus fruits and aromatic herbs. Overall, performances are not astounding, as most today fragrances. The longevity is moderate; it lasted me from half a day, but it is very close to the skin. If you are a citrus lover, this is an amazing fragrance for the price and quality. A morning and daily scent, perfect for late spring and summer. If I have to find a similarity, it reminds me of another recent buy, namely Verveine Cédrat, the share the same verveine vibe. Rochas is the fashion house I am really fond of. Their creations are usually very interesting by always bringing something new. For instance, Macassar, Lui, Globe, Rochas Man, Moustache. Such beautiful masculine offerings. I was somehow disappointed when L’Homme was introduced. Another amboxane bomb in a blue bottle. Another Sauvage-like shower gel for the politically correct new decade. OK, Rochas has to earn some money as well. It is nothing completely new overall, it is also not a fragrance for nostalgics, because there is nothing classic about it. It is also not made for charismatics, unless you want to dim the charisma down. Gilles Romey did a great job and this is probably one of the best citrus out there along with Eau Sauvage and Chanel Pour Monsieur. Its basically a lemon and verbena combo with a woody-resinous accord in the base, manly made with myrrh. Adds a bit of sweetness and brightness and amplifies the performance. Very distinctive and convincing. Being able to put myrrh in a citrus based scent without making it too sweet and oriental, is a masterfull job and i appreciate that a lot.
Rochas
On my skin it changes from fruity fresh to spicy-synthetic after about 90 minutes into a warm, through Tonka also sweetish scent. In this phase he acts almost romantic What I already noticed with other fragrances, L'Homme describes a bit of a daily routine. In 2015, a doctor unknown by name (perhaps a collective) then carried out the transplantation already mentioned, in which (always assuming that the official information does not lie) the classic men's base remained untouched and only the aldehydes in the upper part were removed (the citric bouquet as such remained untouched and now probably falls apart more loosely without the ribbon). The heart, however, was completely replaced. Before six flowers, now zero. Instead three kitchen herbs - and "pine" whatever that might be (upper and lower jaw? pine wood? needles?). I think I would have found the violet lily of the valley number more exciting, but unfortunately I don't know it. Too bad. With Rochas L'Homme Rochas Eau de Toilette, every step is a statement of elegance and style. Its top notes of zesty and tangy blood orange, succulent and juicy pineapple, and aromatic and piquant cardamom create a vibrant and invigorating energy, perfectly balanced by the middle notes of refreshing juniper berries, floral and delicate geranium, and herbaceous basil, which add a touch of green and floral sensuality. As the fragrance settles, the warm and alluring base notes of sweet and creamy tonka bean, earthy and woody patchouli, and velvety and mossy musk envelop the senses in a captivating and irresistible embrace. The bottle is designed to fit. Dark blue glass, only slightly translucent, unlike the Moustache crosswise and finely ribbed.
L'Homme is a fresh men's fragrance, clear and pleasing. It starts off fruity. You can see all the fruits very well.
I don't know what everyone always has. Hey, 30 euros, bang, bang, bang, smells good. Girlfriend: 'You smell so fresh, honey.' Me like that: "I know". What more do I want? I like this one. Nobrainer, Allrounder, Signature, Dumb-Reach, Digger, oh crap, now I can't think of any more Anglicisms. Well, sh** on it, you know what I mean. Cool release with ok performance. Runs full!" The current product is very fresh, very summery, very citric (in the prelude) and has a very, very, very classic appearance. It must be with the base and the top note as well. Also very timeless. Although I write and do a lot of research here, I'm not a fragrance historian or chief analyst, but I would have thought that he was born in 1961 or at least 1972. What else can I say much about it. I'd have sworn there's lavender in there. It's very powdery. Supposedly it's not. I don't know what else to say I can't think of anything else to say because he doesn't inspire me. It's beautiful, though. But somehow too generic, almost too boring. Spee's wife sees it differently and is thrilled. She advised to buy it immediately, and she didn't know then that it only costs 50 ounces list price. At least as long as all the alcohol in the perfume industry is not requisitioned for the production of disinfectants, then it will be more expensive again. I thought of Monsieur De Givenchy. I tested it two years ago and have no concrete memory for smells, but I also found it very masculine, very classic, very beautiful and very meaningless. But it's certainly me. And Givenchy also seems to work differently than Rochas, if I look at my comments at the time and compare the scent pyramids. I bought it in the end of that year, blindly. When i smelled it for the first time, it reminded me of K Eau de Toilette which i like but i find it a bit light in the drydown. So, i also liked this one, right off the bat. The problem here is that this one has some molecule that, sometimes, annoys me a bit and gives me some "headaches". This is probably a synthetic amberwood or something a-like.
Great Deal
