Rochas Unisex Adults L'Homme EAU DE Toilette 100ML L39HOMME, Black

Product Information

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! This fragrance is recommended for a male audience between 30 and 55 years old, who stand out for their masculinity and like to innovate in the olfactory field. In the beginning Rochas was Mr Marcel Rochas. “Every current event is an excuse for me to create,” he once said. The woman, the era, the intuition… were all just right. An eye kept on a fast-changing world to accelerate the movement. This was the almost obsessional quest of the man who freed fashion from convention in the early 20th century, transforming it into a lesson in radiance and beauty for the next 30 years.

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. Rochas launches their new men's perfume L'Homme Rochas in January 2020, described as a romantic and sensual scent for "a neo French lover." The concept and campaign of the new edition revolve around the city of Paris, inspired by the history of this house. 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 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. To prolong the scent for longer, apply your fragrance on the inside of the wrists and behind the earlobe. These pulse zones have a higher temperature than the rest of the body, and this will help the fragrance to evaporate more slowly. L'Homme is a fresh men's fragrance, clear and pleasing. It starts off fruity. You can see all the fruits very well. 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.

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.

But looking for the Homme version, the fragrance is one of my favorite fresh citric fragrances out there and the reason of it it's because it has one foot on the classic woody citrus masculine concept (Eau Sauvage or Chanel Pour Monsieur) and the other in a unique and complex resinous field. 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. Eau de Rochas Pour Homme is a very bright and fresh citrus aromatic. The aldehydes in this really make the realistic lemon zest note sparkle before oakmoss and vetiver appear in the dry-down. Though complex, this remains an early 90s refreshing and uplifting citrus scent throughout.

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. 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.Eau de Rochas Homme (1993) is a peculiar perfume in regards to how it came about, but an amazing alternative to the usual "blue" aquatic or citric fruity laundry musk thing that was around at the time. Edmond Roudnitska created Moustache by Rochas (1949) as a then-unconventional citrus aromatic chypre for men, with a cologne-like arrangement of citruses and a sour musky civet note to enhance the sandalwood oakmoss base so it wouldn't feel too soft or feminine. Years after the men's citrus chypre was starting to run its course (mutating into aromatic or animalic chypres with added leather or balsamic bases of patchouli and benzoin), the green chypre was subverted and taken over by the women's perfume market, which was serving a population perhaps starting to tire of sweet aldehyde chypre perfumes living in the shadow of Chanel No. 5 (1921). The original Eau de Rochas (1970) came about as a retooling of Moustache by Nicholas Mammounas to make it universal in appeal. The scent itself was hot on the heels of Ô de Lancôme (1969), and would compete in time against Balenciaga Ho Hang (1972), Sisley Eau de Campagne (1974,) and Yves Saint Laurent Eau Libre (1975), but this early unisex bubble would fail thanks to stubborn male patriarchy and all of these would be shifted to the women's market save Ho Hang, which found popularity among men, and Eau Libre, which would be aborted. Eau de Rochas in time started seeing more use by men, so someone had the bright idea to reconfigure it for a proper masculine release to compete with aquatics, alongside the original 1970 version by then marketed to women. To me Eau De Rochas Pour Homme is Hawaii in a bottle; not that I've ever been to Hawaii. It's a very likeable uplifting scent, a safe blind buy for daytime Summer or even for the gym. Of course if the smell of lemon makes you think of Fabuloso floor detergent then you should stay away. Yes, it has ambroxane and it possesses this Axe tedious cleanliness, but fortunately, it has some unexpected aspects. I must confess that Master Jovanovic did a remarkable job. In my opinion, this the way to sneak in a classical aspect in the contemporary creation. Rochas L’Homme opens with strong and fizzy synthetic orange note accompanied by a cheesy pineapple, cardamom, and a hefty dose of trendy ambroxane. The opening is not promising, but fortunately, the best is yet to come. Soon some classic almost fougere-ish aspects are introduced. Juniper is responsible for a delicate G&T vibe, while geranium gives this quintessential French structure. The base is somehow synthetically fleeting with again trendy Tonka bean and just a touch of clean patchouli. This Tonka is very interesting by giving me sometimes an amaretto cookie vibe. Interesting touch.

I've seen this one before, and the Moustache. And I wonder how Rochas could bang out this chemical sauce after that wonderful, lush, sophisticated scent. Hurts my heart, and my nose. Uarghigittigitt ...!" 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." Well, what's left to add? I'm trying to settle the dispute over durability in a Solomonic way: It depends on the dosage. Applied with restraint, very volatile, there is a curfew after two to three hours, and it is observed. But if you do this cheerfully, i.e. at least two sprays on top of each other on each part of the skin (so-called "monolayering"), then it gives a nice, rich persistence of at least eight hours. Maybe the skin has to really soak up the stuff. 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. was almost 30 years ago and, at that time, perfumery was changing. Masculines were trying new grounds, with a new freshness. Dihydromyrcenol was a new thing, with Cool Water and Drakkar Noir's popularity, and even Calone was already being used in some masculines ( Kenzo pour Homme EAU DE TOILETTE or New West for Him SKINSCENT ) .

To prolong the trail of the fragrance, we recommend using the products in the range such as shower gels, body lotions or deodorants. The perfume takes some time to unwind, and the sourness remains in the air and around me for a good half hour. The first flower that peeps out of the bouquet in the heart is jasmine. I can also feel the watery undertones of freesia, the bitter touch of the lily of the valley. Violet is subdued and so is the rose, neither too powdery nor too rosy. Instead, the blue shades of lavender flowers reach my nose clear and limpid now, the intense ones that release the perfumed bags from the drawer. But the sour aspect does not completely fade, as the heart includes the aromatic, spicy, and sour leaves of coriander. Green coriander notes in fusion with an overwhelmingly masculine immersive lavender. In this bouquet, I recognise some slightly smoky nuances, as if incense resin or other resinous elements were binding the flowers together. There should also be some mugwort between the middle notes, but my nose has a hard time recognising it.
