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

Product Information

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.

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 bottle is designed to fit. Dark blue glass, only slightly translucent, unlike the Moustache crosswise and finely ribbed. 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.L'Homme is a fresh men's fragrance, clear and pleasing. It starts off fruity. You can see all the fruits very well. 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. With the blood donation it became thus nothing, all the more time I had for my smell test of the day.

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. 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 ...!" 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. 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.

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. 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! Anyway, i wore this a lot to really test it during work, casual events, at home, date nights, etc... half the bottle gone and i became a fan of it.
