Rocabar: the name a contraction of “rug” and “à barres” (striped in French), this masculine perfume is inspired by the traditional saffron colored, red and blue striped horse blankets manufactured in Hermès’ saddlery workshops. Signed by Gilles Romey in 1998, the perfume reveals its strongest facets in woody, balm and resin top notes, ending on a spicy signature note of cypress.

This fragrance is not for the faint hearted, it is a heavy beautiful and exquisite fragrance which is warm, spicy and woody all at the same time. Sexy sexy sexy smell and it is pure unadulterated class. Totally gorgeous!
Aunque Rocabar no es de mis preferidos de Hermès, reconozco que es un perfume amaderado con toques balsámicos y de coníferos muy reconfortante, me recuerda a un bosque de eucaliptos.
For me, this is not just the best escence of Hermes. Rocabar is the most elegant, exquisite, refined, graceful and high classed men's fragance... Take the chance to "increase your level" using it.
All above its a Hermes 10/10.
In my opinion after Eau d'Hermes this is the most interesting fragrance in the Hermes house. It starts fresh and little woody. Than thousands of spices develop with nutmeg, coriander and cardamon at the front. They are obvious but not overhelmig and not harsh at all. Than slowly cedar wood emerges and plays a crucial role. I recognize Rocabar in this moment as brother of Boise Blonde by Parfumerie Generale. Rocabar is real masterpiece. In my opinion it can be easily described as fragrance braking ideas that common an more popular perfumes are boring and not complicated. Rocabar may be classified as niche fragrance and is much more sophisticated than most of them. I also can easily say this is one of these fragrances that create history of perfumes. I hope it will be never discontinued - keep fingers crrosed.
for me it's simply the BEST fragrance for men! so sexy and masculiner!
Haha, when I found what Rocobar means, I just thought it was a scented rag!
Really, it has a heavy fluffy smell in the back which reminds me freshly colored rag strings (of course most of you don't know the smell).
It's perfectly integrated and well design scent; one of the best of Hermes. It's deeply spicy and kind of fresh but not chilly; also it's mossy and semi-smoky in the start up and goes to vintage mood to the base. It's subtle though not unique but so interesting. It's not wet, it's dusty and old.
Manly of course but can be unisex as well; it's Hermes!
Super lasting.
Got this at a reasonable price and am not too blown away by what it offers.dont get me wrong,it's a very pleasant smell of what I will describe as soft woody smell-not an in-your-face blast but a well balanced mixture of notes to produce an acceptable smell to my nose.not as sweet as some make it to be.I find it hard to believe it's been around for so long but it definitely can hold its own against modern fragrances.am guessing those who smelled it when it was released must have swooned over it.
this is clearly an evening scent or better still the cold season.I guess that is when one can truly appreciate this.am writing this on a humid night and maybe that could be a reason why am not seeing this the way others do.will do for a romantic date or even a good nite out and will be well suited for the mature gentleman.I could be wrong though.Unless desire makes me, am not sure my drab world will allow me wear it out to be appreciated by others who might be in my company.lol
I like it for its unobtrusive nature,longevity and does really stay close to the skin.If you can afford it you can get it.I only got it as the price was right.I was not going to buy a bottle for £60!
Am hoping the new bottle shape does in no way mean the juice has been reformulated.
Rocabar of Hermes is a fragrance that turns on the classic, the opening is almost breathtaking, and it seems to breathe in the fresh air in a pristine forest and away from the noise of the city, in the heart makes its way to the sweetness of the flowers almost twilight, all the resins and finally violet, vanilla and a touch woody, the result is very good and comfortable (it reminds me of Van Cleef and Arpels Tzar). Rocabar can be worn in the winter in my opinion ... and why not also in autumn.
Romantic as the light of un'abat jour ...
Very fine
I am just so impressed with Hermes fragrances. Ironically, as much as I like Terre d'Hermes, I think I like most of the other fragrances they put out even better. Rocabar is just a wonderfully blended spicy wood (just as it says) fragrance. The vanilla is noticeable right from the top, but never dominates this well crafted scent. The cypress is not readily apparent at first, but slowly it emerges in a very subtle fashion, almost imperceptibly. The cedar is definitely a major player, and I can definitely smell that "circus" aroma, that some have labelled it. I am such a fan of these colognes, and they dry down to such natural and smooth scent. Another win for Hermes!
Yesterday was a blessing day, I went to the perfume store and found the miniature of this perfume (and others which usually hard to find). Me and my friends have Terre d'Hermes in our collection, yet we both agreed that this perfume is better than Terre. Classic yet elegant and gentle!
this scent is so smooth! it's perfectly layered and developed.
I don’t know very well the scents from the brand Hermes but this one is very attractive. At the same time, It has a comfortable and light sweet smell.
I think that the idea of the fabric around the bottle, as if was a blanket, it’s exactly what the scent seemed to me: an embrace that surrounded me with the woods and spicy notes without bothering other people noses, keeping the wearer self confident. However, it doesn’t exhale too much, staying close to the skin.
I would say that it has a middle lasting.
i like it theres a rich woodsy thing going and the notes are GREAT but its a bit dry and too mossy/ woody i think its for a MUCH older person but nontheless a great scent
definately not a fresh contemporary type of scent its a much more masculine sensual scent for romantic use or for older men and a very mysterious dark one
Back in the late 90s when this fragrance emerged, I thought it was a nice scent, but I found it too warm for an everyday woody scent. I felt the same way with Gucci's Envy.
Flash forward to today, and I think this is an excellent creation by Hermes. Warm and citrus notes are met with cedar and sandalwood and hay-like outdoorsy notes. I love it!
I wish I was like some who actually can have it last 8-12 hours on them, but sadly it won't last past 2 hours on me.
Best of Hermes IMO, Great fragrance, long lasting, light and fresh with a good vanilla patchouli drydown.
For the first five minutes, Rocabar smells like the greatest masculine fragrance ever created - a dazzling, colorful accord of spice and wood that smells as if it's made with the most exquisite materials on earth. The top notes are just amazing. After that brief opening, however, the top notes disappear and Rocabar falls apart, turning into a depressing, cheap, sour accord reminiscent of diswashing liquid. Fortunately, this only lasts for about an hour, but the drydown isn't all that much better. The drydown, while not bad, is a sort of dull amber/vanilla with a remnant of the amazing woody opening. I hate to be cynical about Hermes, since I love so many of their fragrances, but it seems like they spent all their formula money on the top notes, hoping people would buy Rocabar on a whim. If only they could have pulled a Tsar (which Rocabar's opening accord resembles) and carried the quality all the way through drydown, I'd have given this the highest rating. Rocabar is still a good fragrance (it lasts a good 8-12 hours on my skin), but is a disappointment because it could and should have been so much better.
