About this deal

The campaign is set in Paris and features French models Julien Remond and Noemie Schmidt. Schmidt is also the face of the feminine scent Mademoiselle Rochas. 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. 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. 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.

MODERN OLFATIVE SEAL. Its wake surprises with its combination of juicy, current and sweeping notes with more sober and elegant notes. An oriental aroma with green reminiscences of ferns, with that captivating charm of Parisian chic. 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. Functionality becomes secondary to art. Shareholders applaud." (When asked if anything should be added there:) "That's laconic." 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.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.

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." I know him, I've tested him before. Couple minutes really nice, maybe a bit sweet, then so'n drydown, which is already somehow mossy, so lab moss, and a bit tart, riper, but no longer really nice, I think. Distinctive, but quiet. I don't know if I'm making myself understood?" (Pause) "Anyway ... It's an office scent, or just home office, whatever. Doesn't hurt, has nothing to do with art. Can go away, but can also stay." At the age of only 23, Marcel Rochas opened his couture house on Place Beauvau in Paris in 1925, before moving to Rue Matignon in 1931. The couturier brought the fresh breath of youth to haute couture. He built the wardrobe of the emancipated Parisian woman in the post-war years, whilst also creating perfumes that reflected a love affair with elegance and freedom.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. And for the critical opening, really it's only 10-15 min the sharp synthetic smell is, then it gets better and better as time goes, it's very refreshing lemon after about 20min, but again worth mentioning if you try on paper and think this is not for you, you need to give it abit time before the magic starts to happend and as mentioned, the longer the better. 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. Performs really good (i have the old formula from the early 00s but i wore decants of the newer stuff and it's really close and well performer also) and has a refreshing yet gentleman aura around it. Easily recomendable and a must buy, really. 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 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!" To prolong the trail of the fragrance, we recommend using the products in the range such as shower gels, body lotions or deodorants. Super strong stuff! Projection is great in the first 2h and the longevity is 12+ hours, easily. It's a compliment getter too, which is a bonus. The caviar here is the modern molecule that sometimes appears to turn me off a bit. It would be a 5/5 for me if it wasn't that molecule. But it's not super strong and irritating like in many other new fragrances nowadays, specially beacuse of the strong classical base. I started my review in this way because the first thought that came to my mind when I tested this gem was, “Oh Rochas, Rochas, where have you been until now?” Well, as I am getting old, I don’t remember if I came across an original edition in the past, or if it happened, but now I don’t remember the smell. The fact is that in this review I will limit myself to telling the sensations that the version I own gives me without making comparisons with the original version. I have to thank @HugoMontez because it is thanks to his review that I came across this barely unknown precious gem. Or rather, I knew the perfume and its feminine counterpart, and I often saw it on the shelves, but I associated it with the common fresh and citrusy eau de cologne and therefore I did not even pay a glance to it. The @HugoMontez review opened my eyes and mind wide, and so I ran into the shop to try, and immediately buy, this masterpiece. Here we go.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. 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. 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. L'Homme Rochas belongs to the olfactory Oriental-Fougère family that combines fresh citrus notes with warm aromatic tones. It offers accords of bitter orange, pineapple, cardamom and oriental spices, notes of basil, geranium and juniper berries, complemented by a base of moss and tonka.
