Eau de Rochas Homme Rochas for men

Wow, yesterday I recieved a sample of Acqua di Parma Blue Mediterraneo - Mirto di Panarea. The first wiff instantly sent me right back to the time I used to wear Eau de Rochas POUR Homme!

I've got to get it again! Such a superb fragrance, I haven't felt anything quite like it. Well, apart from AdP Mirto di Panarea. But the similarities were gone in seconds. Don't get me wrong, the AdP is good to, but now I remember why I used to love Eau de Rochas so much.

This morning I tried on another AdP BM offering, the Bergamotto di Calabria. There are some similar notes here aswell, but just looking at pictures of Eau de Rochas Pour Homme I can remember exactly how it smelled.

The reviewers below are better skilled than me at describing the notes, I just want to say that if you're into citrusy smells and get the chance to pick up EdRPH (they seem hard to come by these days) - GET IT!

Eau de Rochas Homme is quite simply the best citrus scent-based fragrance for men ever produced. It is the scent of the cleanest lifestyle, mood and atmosphere. It is the most refreshing frag you can possible think of and it is just as elegant and mature and refined as Eau Sauvage, only in an even more timeless form. It is playful but also conservative enough, easy to use and a real pleasure to apply, and it can be suitable for anytime of the year. The scent left on clothes and skin is out of this world. Perfect when travelling away too. Energetic, just-out-of-the shower, long-lasting (on me anyway...) and the basenotes are ones of pure class and still refreshing after 9-10 hours. It is my No1 frag since 2001 and will never change. The ultimate masterpiece. Thank you, Rochas.

to me this is the smell of the pureness, of the clean atmosphere, everytime I wear it I feel like born again, its like crystal water, like a feeling of a new day

first toffee sweet lemon taste.very unversatile for 5 mins.
wait 15 mins for best smell.dirty lemon.than it goes subtle on its way.
sillage a little bit weak (very close to skin)but longlivity is good.i think it evaporates and mellows well in hot weathers.i mean it may become much clear in summer.
i have not tried it on clothes yet.
good for first test.

best summer scent ever. Clean vibrant, sun sine in a bottle. It is a soft citrus cloud the surounds you. people gravitate to you just to be near the cloud. but once in it you get a scent of masculine floral bouquet. If for whatever reason you begin to sweat it will no intensify but marry with you to create something personal yet not sour like many summer scent can. Love this fragrance and it is my summer time favorite. hard to find so I always get the big bottle when I travel to Europe.

I finally got one. And I don't like it. The start is a strong citrus cleaner bomb, then a huge mess of Idontknowwhat, then it becomes something wonderful which is gone before you know it, and nothing is left. The citrus is not nice and balmy like Armani Pour Homme, but rather harsh. I started to think that I might got a fake one, but reading about it on Basenotes, I actually have the original and not the reformulated new one. This will likely end up in my toilet cabinet with the other bad ones.

Great citrus fragrence! Brings back alot of good memories for me. Not a very mature smell, but very refreshing and light!

love it; great for the summer; doesn't last too long, rather short living; very difficult to get one; only in Europe.

One of the few best scents I own. I seldom use it, and use it only on very special occassions. I like the citrusy fresh scent that is not overpowering. Unique and fresh. Highly recommended.

Use this fragrance is like being inside a waterfall.
I like the feeling a lot of running water that manages to convey this perfume.
This scent is really fresh and nice.
All your notes are absolutely fine.
The longevity and projection are very good.
For those who like perfume water markedly, this is one of the best you can find on the market.
Highly recommended.
I love it.

One of the best masculine citrus fragrances I've ever smelled. After trying both versions, I don't seem to find much difference between the vintage (Eau de Rochas Pour Homme) and current (Eau de Rochas Homme). This is a good thing.

Eau de Rochas Pour Homme is a sparkling, zingy citrus fragrance that knocks your socks off with lemons, limes, verbena, and a shot of pine. It's very refreshing and "fun". The citrus never really stops giving, either - I get up to 9 hours of this baby, and during the 9th hour I can still smell the smooth base note of vetiver and oakmoss. This fragrance is tart and citric, but at the same time bracing and enjoyable. It harkens back to the classic Eau's of yesteryear where the citrus was done right.

So anyway, guys, if you want a long-lasting citrus for summer, put down Acqua di Gio or L'Eau d'Issey and smell Eau de Rochas Pour Homme. You'll see (smell?) what you've been missing.

Reminds me of Eau Sauvage. Even that, too light. if it is followed by the usual off Moustache's .. In summer, such as use and suitable for all ages. The disadvantage is close to skin a scent very quiet ..

Another rabbit hatch smell (just like Aquaman)!
In this case you have to feed the rabbits mint to produce this aroma!
Sorry guys I would not even go close to you if you had this on regardles of the agegroup you belonged to.

A very zesty, fresh, citrus fragrance with quite a heavy vetiver drydown. This is a well put together scent - very nice

Una fragancia que ofrece un mix de hierbas y citricos frescos. Suavemente amaderada y con musgos, porta o recuerda el estilo del Eau Sauvage de Dior. Posee notas de hierbas silvestre en la cabeza y corazon con rosa y jazmin. La longebidad de la fragancia es muy buena, aunque la proyeccion es cercana y no deja estelas muy pronunciadas. Un perfume fino, apropiado para todas las ocasiones.

They have the 100 ml EDT and aftershave balm SET at a very reasonable price !!!

You can find it at beautyencounter.com at a very affordable price, before shipping of course.

Just a question. I used Eau de Rochas after shave for more then 10 years, but now I can't bye it any more. Is there someone on this forum who can tell me where I still can bye Eua de Rochas. I live in Holland, but maybe I can order it by mail?

This was one ofthe most remarkable fragrances I had. I remember how great it made me feel. It is pure zest distiled from fresh lemon and basil, garnished by empowering and joyful vetiver. Very fresh and not overwhelming. Much better in my opinion than 90% of the citrus edts of recent times. It lasts pretty well on skin as well.

top notes reminds me windows cleaner ;|. forutnately lately is better. staying power is avarage on me.

I just recall smelling of lemons and limes for an hour at most.

Very sexy on my husband in summer :)

Eau de Rochas Pour Homme is an (apparently) simple yet well crafted citrus scent. But it's not just that...

It opens with sharp, sunny top notes of lime, bergamot and lemon verbena followed by a more subtle aromatic note of basil: it's obvious from the start that this is a fragrance for glorious spring or summer days. Yes, it's heavy on the citrus. But it is, I think, one of the better designer citrus fragrances around; and as we all know, citrus fragrances abound.

The heart in Eau de Rochas Pour Homme is a beautiful, refined blend of flowers — white for the most part. This, I find, gives the fragrance lightness and elegance. In Geoffrey Beene's Bowling Green, a strong pine needle note reinforce the citrus right from the top. Here, instead, it is much more subdued but nonetheless lifts up the floral accord in the heart, makes it more interesting and gives it depth. Nice touch.

Transitions are well marked in this fragrance but longevity is average, and we soon reach a warm woody (and, to some extent, resinous) drydown; vétiver and cedar play the main role here, assisted by fainter notes of oakmoss. I can't say that I can detect any musk, eventhough it is supposed to be there. But I don't think it's actually needed.

To summarise: Eau de Rochas Pour Homme is a classy, fresh, energetic, refined and well balanced fragrance...
