L'Homme Rochas
by Rochas
L'Homme Rochas delivers a fresh, well-balanced masculine fragrance with a distinctive aromatic-green core, making it a versatile choice for everyday wear. The opening features bright blood orange and cardamom, with a subtle pineapple note that adds a soft fruity sweetness without becoming cloying. The heart develops with a clean, herbal complexity from geranium, juniper berries, and basil, giving it a refined barbershop-like character that feels modern rather than outdated. The dry down smooths into a warm, sweet-tonka and patchouli base with slight mossy depth, adding a gentle oriental warmth that lingers subtly. While not particularly bold in projection or longevity, it establishes a pleasant, long-lasting scent bubble, especially when applied to clothing. The fragrance is notably soft and fresh, more sophisticated than typical
