L'Homme Rochas Aromatic Touch
by Rochas
L'Homme Rochas Aromatic Touch opens with a bright, green apple and olibanum note that evokes a fresh, aromatic garden with a hint of incense-like depth. The fruity and spicy elements unfold with a subtle sweetness, leading into a smooth, woody base featuring sandalwood, cedar, and ambroxan. The fragrance evolves into a warm, slightly musky drydown that carries longevity, though it remains intimate in projection. Its green, aromatic character is refined and not overpowering, with a sillage that leans moderate to strong, making it suitable for day wear. The scent remains distinct from classic blue fragrances, offering a more nuanced, mature profile that leans into green, woody, and incense-like tones rather than synthetic or sharp notes.
Pros
- +Smooth and refined aromatic profile that avoids the overused 'blues' typical of modern men's fragrances
- +Excellent performance with moderate to long lasting drydown, suitable for both office and evening wear
- +Unique green and woody balance makes it stand out among similar operas from Lalique and Creed
Cons
- −Strong resemblance to L'Insoumis and other fresh green scents, leading to a sense of déjà vu for fans of those fragrances
- −Short-lived in projection despite good longevity, making it less noticeable beyond intimate distance
- −May feel underwhelming if seeking bold, dramatic, or highly projecting scents
