Rochas Men by Rochas

mal23

I do not like this not do I hate it. I am somewhere in the middle on this fragrance. I can see liking this if I had not already owned Le Male by JPG, but it does in a small way seem to resemble that fragrance. It has that same sweetness to it. I would say this is a must try but not a buy for me. Overall a 7/10.

Rochas Men is a gorgeous fragrance. I would in no way compare it to A-Men, which I find synthetic and syrupy. Nor do I compare it with Le Male, also not one of my favorites.

Rochas Men is, in my opinion, similar in composition and character to Hanae Mori HM, which I adore.

Compare the note pyramids of the two and you'll discover both share citrus and lavender in the opening notes. I will add that the lemon in Hanae Mori is more dominant than the bergamot in Rochas.

Both share Lily-of-the-Valley and Jasmine in the heart notes and both have vanilla in the base notes.

Where coffee is included in the base notes of Rochas, Hanae Mori has dark chocolate instead. However, the coffee in Rochas Men is more like a mocha and thus smells very simlar to the chocolate note in Hanae Mori.

Both Rochas Men and Hanae Mori have a citrus opening followed by a floral heart and finally a gourmand base of delectable, erotic, deliciousness known to create a sensation of euphoria and pleasure, e.g., chocolate or mocha and vanilla.

I get many, many compliments when I wear either of the two; all from women who really do love the olfactory experience created by this fragrance.

Rochas is a must for any man's wardrobe.

Got it for my husband today, this is my favorite male perfume, it's very sexy and I can always feel when somebody around me is wearing it.... YUM!

i`ve read many rewievs comparing this one to A*Men ... this is so much better, more simple in a good way ... for someone who likes it vanilla sweet with a bit of coffee from top to bottom .. quite underrated imho, this one deserves more attention ... i will check more Rochas products soon ... maybe offensive in the opening, but will settle to a great gourmand later ...

good longevity and very good sillage ...

A sensual and fresh oriental gourmand. Maybe Very Irresistible( my favorite) has some of its roots here. Sweet, but not overtly so, woody but not pungent. Extremely delicious without however screaming of sweets like a lot of fragrances today.

I have wanted this dream in a bottle for years now. Finally, after waiting for so long (why, I don't know) I purchased this yesterday. Mark the date because I could have died. This is the type of scent that not only mixes perfectly with my body chemistry, mood and personality, but my wife gravitates towards these types of scents also (ie: JPG, Pi). This will ALWAYS be in my rotation and may just become my signature scent. I was afraid that it would be too sweet, but it is in NO way cloying at all, just the perfect blend. Like shoveling snow for hours and then coming inside to a steaming cup of hot cocoa while under a thick blanket watching a Christmas movie. PURE COMFORT

Right away your hit with lavender and coffee its quite intense, very sweet, it stays through to the dry down. Give it 15 minutes or so. You get a soft vanilla not strong but pleasant it compliments the coffee very well. Overall a nice, warm, delicious, gourmand cologne. Its also long lasting. Its like siting down sipping coffee in a coffee shop with a bouquet of lavender flowers.

If there is a weak point in Rochas Man - it would be the similarities to colognes released before RM, but all of them from the glorious 90's.
First of all A*Men - caramel and coffee - sooo yummy and sweet.
Then Dreamer (but without the tobacco note) - Rochas Man is floral and a good one.
Finally Le Male ( without the spices) - a bergamot lavender mix .
RM is simpler than all of them, but in a good way, making it very easy to wear and like. A well made fragrance that is ...lovable.

I hate this scent i bought it blind b/c of all the good reviews about this but on me it smells so powdery and i don't smell coffee at all just lavender sandalwood and vanilla

LOVE it! Last forever on me and the sweetness of it makes me feel very sexy and delicious (lol).

It's gorgeous...

I love this fragrance, lasts very much time, and the drydown it's delicious, smells like a sweet caramel, note, with coffe, like a hot coffe milk

mmm...

very recommended to wear it on night, or romantic use.

and I have to say that I have joop! too, but I don't think that both fragrances are similar, they are very different to me, I love this rochas man, but I'm starting to hate joop! because it's too strong, yes joop! it's sweet but too floral, this one, rochas man, is sweet but it's a gourmand delicious sweet.

This is the best gourmand fragrance ever. Does not include aldehydes that give a headache.
If you find A*Men disgusting but love the chocolate smell, then you should try this.

This popular fragrance is like a hot cake that is so hard to resist with delicious smells of coffee and vanilla. It invites, invites and invites. Would be a great choice for romantic use.

The ingredients are obviously top quality and the fragrance lasts very long.

I wish they produced many versions of this fabulous thing.

This is absolutely the scent of a modern/metropolitan man (and libertine), and most probably the finest out of all male gourmand fragrances. I love it. The coffee/vanilla dry-down is elegant, warm and sensual. On me, it is also by far the one that gets most compliments (from the ladies). In my opinion, this fragrance will never be surpassed. A modern male classic par excellence!

I used to liked it more, I've worn it during the winter here and eventually got bored of it. I would prefer Le Male which imo is similar to this anyday. Whenever I wear it now on occasion I get a feeling that it smells cheap. Smells better on paper or out of the bottle than on my skin. Longetivity is good.

Great longervity! Very yummy! Similar to BVL's Black on base notes. It's a good scent, though I do not like the outside. The bottle is too ugly.

Stefan

Reminds me of a lighter Givenchy Pi.
Almost too sweet, very candy like. ALmost vanilla overload, but it's doable.

I sniffed this one at the store and thought it smelled warm, comforting and somehow familiar.

After doing a bit more research, I discovered why it does indeed smell familiar. Rochas Men smells remarkably like Joop! Homme, right down to the lavender and coffee notes.

Both are lovely fragrances, and both seem equally suitable for men or women. The main difference is that Rochas Men costs a lot more than Joop! Whether your nose or your pocketbook should be your guide is up to you.

2 sweet... just like candys smell! 2 simple sweet smell but a powerful fragrance! Just not my type... not for my taste! And the bottle damn ugly 2... like a vibrator ! :)))

A great and light gourmand fragrance! Amazing combination of coffee and lavander. Wish it could last longer on my skin. Anyway, the moment you spend with it is great!
