You Will Love It Too

I'm not sure why, but I had imagined Rochas Man to smell really sweet, sugary almost, which would somehow turn out to be more feminine than masculine. Well, I'm glad my assumptions proved incorrect, because although this fragrance is mildy sweet with its gourmand accords, it's something that really gets my heart racing, if you know what I mean.

My man has been wearing Altamir by Ted Lapidus for nearly a full year now, and while I love it on him, whenever he's 'in the mood' he practically drowns himself in it which makes it difficult for me to get close to him with all that sickly, spicy sweetness in the air. Rochas Man is a scent in a similar vein to Altamir but thankfully with a lot less sillage. That's not to say that the sillage isn't good, because it is. It projects itself well and lasts a generous amount of time too.

Rochas Man is sweet like I mentioned earlier, but more focused on the sweet aromas of a capuccino, a bottle of vanilla essence and lavender-scented powder. Together they all mesh to create one very delicious combination.

I actually revel in how masculine Rochas Man turned out to be. My immediate thoughts when the scent hit me was, "boyfriend... bed... now!" It's a scent that needs no introduction.

They don't make many gourmands for men these days, and that saddens me, since as a female I find them much more appealing than feminine gourmands. Vanilla is surprisingly sexy on a man's skin. Needless to say I bought a bottle for the man in question, and although he laughed at the somewhat sexually suggestive bottle design, (he does hide the bottle from his friends to avoid snide remarks), he wears it whenever I go to his house to stay for the weekend. Lucky me. And even though he still sprays in abandon, it's a fragrance I don't mind in heavy doses.

This fragrance is a great gourmand. It's very similar to Bond NO. 9's New Harlem although has it's subtle differences. For one, the price is about a fourth of what New Haarlem's is. Also, the dry down phase is kind of spicy and powdery, with definite hints of patchouli accords... very subtle but definitely there. All in all, it's a very good scent and is one of my all-time favorites to wear.

This is one of the best gourmands out there. Not edgy, not that original after so many chocky perfumes but I find it marvellously versatile and after 100 times of smelling it, I've never grown tired of it. It's in the same team with Very Irresistible for men, which I find a bit nicer than this. Both are fragrances you can wear without annoying anyone because neither are obnoxious, a problem many gourmands have after a while of using them (A-men, Lolita Lempicka au masculin, etc). This is classy but wearable at any age, it gives you an exquisite aura of cappuccino and cocoa with a tiny hint of vanilla. All very subtle, although not at all muted and wow so sexy. Its longevity is great!!! I find this perfume to be one of those must-have since it will be there any time you need a sexy and easy-to-wear scent. You cannot go wrong with this.

Kris919. I remember the lady in the store telling me this scent was made to work with a mans pheromones to make hime irresistable and to make a woman fight for her man...
Well very true indeed. Hubby sprayed this on his wrist and I wasnt partial.. He wears it on his neck and an amazing transition occurs. It is a sweet sexy morish fragrance that lasts all day and into the night.
It is sweet and a little dessertish and not unlike Givenchy play intense or even a little like a refined Joop Homme.
We keep an extra bottle in box in case it becomes discontinued.

to sweet for me... I don't like when my bf uses this one -.-

After reading that a few women have said that they can wear this, I figured it would be nice one on me. The coffee, caramel, vanilla notes sounded like it would make a great scent combo. Unfortunately, I didnt get coffee. I find this strange smelling, and masculine. I thought maybe layering this with a girly vanilla would help this be more unisex. not so. This is going back to the store.

A distintive caramel aroma which lasts a long time, and has medium projection...

I applied 6 heavy sprays

0 - 3.5 hours - 1.5 foot strong projection. Scent is like roasted caramel with a hint of soapiness. It is nice, but not amazing. It is worth a blind buy, but you may not buy it again.

3.5 hours - 5 hours - Linear scent, 3 inch projection

5 hours - 12 hours - 0.5 inch projection which is not too close to skin and so you get some projection all that time...

Unusual bottle

Good

Very nice fragrance , i love it the first time i smell it in a store so sweet , there is a similar one NEW HAARLEM its expensive than rochas but amazing

Rochas Man is rather good, it´s pleasant and obviously well crafted. Reminds me of Dior Dune and Lalique lion

8,5/10

Women will literally try to lick your neck, just to taste this stuff. The juice works, that's I know for sure.

WOW this is a work of art for me, I love it.
Very intimate scent.
Beautifully crafted bottle.
I can't wait to try New Haarlem.

9.5/10

Very sweet creamy vanilla is my best description. I find it perfect for the holidays. I recommend it to any guy with an open mind who wants to try something different and something far from what you can find in the department stores, at least in my experience. My bottle is almost empty unfortunately but I can honestly say I have always gotten at least 2 compliments for every time I have worn this cologne.

i am sooo in love with this scent. i agree as it could be a mens or womans scent.I bought it for my boyfriend bc i love it but am actually wearing right now.I cant get over how good it smells.. seriously buy this its amazinggggggggggggg <3!!!! All the girls will follow you around ;)

its so sexy,irrestible and addictive!love love love

this one smells like L.O.V.E (this review is based on the EDT version)
really!!! I fell in love with it today!!
I haven't decided my Top 5 fragrances yet...
but ROCHAS MAN is definitely one of the top 5
Even if u hate A*men there's a great chance you'll like Rochas!

Sillage 8/10
Scent 9/10
Longevity 8/10 (about 8 hours on my skin)

P.S. as always, try before u buy!

It's a good perfume but it's TOO SWEET for me.

a signature perfume,very sweet and uniqe,suitable for winter/fall time.
love it

One of my favorite colognes of all time! Love its warm, sweet, and somewhat spicy nature! For a winter time, it a clear winner! I love the infusion of bergamot, vanilla, and coffee. Lavander is a great addition with its calming effect. I even like an echo of a raspeberry hidden somewhere in its warm notes. It is confident, sexy, and very european,lol

The best thing about Rochas man is the price, you can get it for £20. However its a false economy because you need to spray tons of it on as its so weak.

My first impressions of it were cheap body spray, what i imagine the lynx chocolate thing would smell like.

It does have this astringent boozy smell but settles down into something sweet.

After a few days it either grew on me or i trained myself to like it. I wouldnt buy it again but I can at least use up the rest of the bottle.

Its definitely not a gourmand unless your a solvent abuser.

Great stuff. It's reminds me my childhood. It's sweet, but sexy. 5/5

Coffee/Vanilla/Raspberry, it all mixes together to make a nice warm scent, just like the add, its perfect for a nice casual day/night with the Mrs's to just cozy up together, she'll like this scent ;) lol.

This one's a nice change of pace for me- warm smooth, sweet. Top: cotton candy melting to light caramel. Dries nicely to vanilla, amber? base. Not sure I smelled lavender top or mocha base. Really nice dry down to the base!

خیلی شیرین و خوشبو
جذاب
مردانه
کلاسیک
شیرینی اش بی آزار است
برای مهمانیها و ملاقات های دوستانه و گرم مناسب است
متاسفانه مقداری دوامش کم میباشد که البته باز هم ربط به پوست نیز دارد آنچه مسلم است از پی جیوانشی دوام و رایحه
اش قابل توجه تر و شیک تر و هم جدید تر از آن می باشد
روشاس لویی آن خیلی از روشاس من خوشبو تر و طرفداران زیادی هم دارد البته در ایران مدتی است که خیلی نایاب و اگر هم باشد 50 میل آن است که با قیمتی بالای 70 هزار تومان به فروش میرسد

Thanks (The_Drake) unfortunatley as U had mentioned its still at large, that version has never reached anywhere near a perfumery in europe I might have visited, the only ones here are the usual edts like this one and my opinion on this is that its really wonderful, funnily it took me sometime to find this gem coz it wasnt advertised that much like the fragrances of today, now am lickin my lips and drooling on how the intense version would be if I ever get ma hands on it, I think I might just sip it, what a gourmand this is.... delicious.

I had to review this cologne again.
Talk about gourmand & exotic.
The Sandalwood and the cedar are well balanced with the other sweet stuff in it. And one of my secret to enhance the smell of this cologne is to put on coco butter, by palmers and Im good.

This is just lavander at its finest...I love this fragrance.
Michael Jordan Legend is a Rochas man on steroids.

Just google "rochas man intense". It's an EDT. Fragrance Direct used to sell it quite cheap, but now it's gone from their site. It is rare and getting harder to find. And yes, it is indeed lovely. The coffe note is tuned up and the vanilla tuned down. I think it's the perfect alternative for guys who like A*Men but find it too strong and overpowering to wear.

Hello Fragrantica Members, I´m readin the reviews below and many tend to review an intensive version of this, which I had no idea existed, is there an EDP of this called, "intense" "absolut" or something like that? I sure have never come across it nor heard of it.

POWERFUL, POWERFUL, POWERFUL, in every sense, as a perfume should be.

Excellent.
I strongly recommend.

this somehow reminds me of Givenchy Pi,but lighter and better than Pi. I like it.

The fragrance name is Rochas MAN and not Rochas MEN...

One of the most elegant Lavender scents out there as far as I'm concerned, and the hint of cappuccino only adds to it's charm...

I love cappuccinos. I love Rochas Man!

laura021 you are hilarious; thanks for making me laugh out loud! Rochas Man smells great too...

For those who like gourmand fragrances, but consider most of them out there overwhelming, this is it: you have found the perfect fragrance. Not that the gourmand side of this scent is non existent or subdued by fresh notes. IT IS a gourmand in all its strenghts but it is never too much. It is, in other words, a comfort scent. The lavander is always there, kind of taming the wild coffee and vanilla mix. The scent, after a while, settles and all you have is a steady, permanent, rich aura around you. Great cost/benefit. A must buy in any collection.

I have already reviewed Rochas Man below, it is a great scent which should be in everyone's collection.

I have noticed, when i spray the intense version on clothes, the smell lasts for at least 2 weeks, wish it lasted that long on the skin :)

I think I cannot add anything new to the excelent previous reviews, but all I can say, is that I love this fragance.

I don´t know how, but it is sweet and fresh at the same time in my skin, and I can wear it (rightly sprayed) on every season.

If you are not a gourmand lover, then give this one a chance, I'll bet it will arouse your senses.

Recommended!!!

A vanilla coffee that I swore had a hint of cinnamon.
A masculine, gourmand, sweet, milky Autumn-winter fragrance.

با سلام
خیلی خیلی شیرینه
همانطور که از بطری آن معلوم است شبیه کله قند است
اینقدر شیرینه که شاید برای بعضی ها خوشایند نباشه
ماندگاری مناسب داره
نه زیاد بالا نه پایین
مجلسی به حساب میاد
با احترام

Rochas Man Intense is much better than the original Rochas Man. The Intense version of Rochas Man features significantly more vanilla and less coffee.

Rochas Man Intense is very difficult to find; however, it is available in Paris and online in Europe.

A superb gourmand fragrance for men.

I got the Intense version as it was a really good deal, also because of the great reviews. Are there any major differences between this and the normal version?

The Intense version reminds me so much of Givenchy Play Intense which I also love, this fragrance is great and I recommend it to anyone who has a collection.

The only problem I have is that, people say they get 6 or 8 hours of this fragrance and some of the others, do they mean skin close? because after 2 hours, i cant smell it on my wrist let alone on myself.

Overall a very nice fragrance which develops into a surprisingly pleasent aroma.

8 out of 10

The most aromatically sweet and elegant cup of coffee you can imagine.

Every time my boyfriend wears this i want him to use the bottle on me.

This fragrance has as an opening, the dominant aroma of coffee accompanied by lavender, which excludes the dry and rough opening coffee smell present in Angel Men Pure Coffee.

After 30 minutes, the scent reaches it's climax, where we then have the appearance of vanilla involving the whole coffee note, giving a creamy gourmand aspect to the fragrance, a real cappuccino, (although not as evident as in Vanille Mokha but that does not detract in any way the ending result of this fragrance)wheres the final result is nothing more than a delicious gourmand fragrance that sparkles for it's versatility.

In short, this is an excellent fragrance that I recommend to anyone who enjoys a gourmand made around coffee. Want a more full-bodied and intense version of it? Choose the sensational New Haarlem, however prepare the pocket. Want a more creamy and a little more in mind that the scent from Bond No. 9? Vanille Mokha. A dry version of coffee? Pure Coffee. Now if your intention is to capture all these fragrances into one, with an excellent relation between cost and benefit, then go to Rochas Man!

A light chocolate vanille and lavender fragrance that is quite charming. For the price it is a worthy purchase and at times I find myself craving to wear this fragrance.

Yes freddidefingers There are an intense version of this perfume(Rochas Man Intense-EDP) and only sold in Paris and can buy it on site amazon in Europe.
Great fragrance for me!

i hated this when i got it... after a few wears though i started to wet my pants whenever i smelled it lol... its super tasty!! :D out of my 15 fragrances this is now in my top 3.

for the first time with a fragrance (when im not wearing it) i get very vivid flashes of the scent as if ive just smelled it. i think its my mind craving it lol. when i get home i give an arm a quick spray and this makes me smile. :)

as for the scent itself... this might sound unappealing, but to me it has an antiseptic vibe. smokey antiseptic with chocolate is what i get. such a warm and delicious thing though.

its very powerful at first, very intoxicating (in a good way), but after an hour it starts to die and clings near my skin. i think i get about 5 hours tops out of this. if it only lasted longer it would be truly perfect.

worm quiet
when you first spry it you will notes

sour bergamot & raspberry mixed in soft vanilla & coffee latte with a hint of jasmine & lavender >

after an hour
it become so soft & quiet you will notes only
soft vanilla & coffee latte with a hint of jasmine & lavender

the only thing worng about it is the lavender note
it mix out but i still love it

if you like it then get A*man T.M

I get a Woody/leafy syrup (resembling tree-sap/ maple syrup) with this one, I don't get any coffee whatsoever. Also I have a problem with the longevity and sillage - it's weak. Maybe my nose just get's used to it. However this is still my favourite fragrance in my collection. Aside from the poor longevity and sillage for me it kinda reminds me of paco rabanne's 1 million a little bit.

according to the descripsion...its seems its a warm spicy one...not for everyone...some kind of dork guy will say u is a little bit girly...bullshit...my advice,just buy it..

Nice spicy classic stuff for night dress!
It's moder but still on classical style. Sweet and pleasant proper for mild weather and casual evening with friends, parties and meetings. also can be official but not so formal item. It's a comforting and easy to wear odor. Subtle and charming, attractive but not for long time; after few minutes lose attraction and becomes normal for others but it's still in their mind that "you smell good today"!!
Person to person it plays different; extremely personal item and great thing for signature although not so recognizable.
Generally, chilly, spicy, warm, friendly, charming and chic.

longevity 8/10
sillage 8/10
scent 7/10

Yesterday i was in a store and put it on my skin
very beautiful fragrance very warm elegant
i like it very much but it is not unique because there are several perfumes which are similar !

Longetivity is amazing : +16 till 24 hours on my skin and you think its sprayed 1 hour ago !!

similar fragrances : (from best one beginning)

1.Midnight in Paris Van Cleef & Arpels (much more elegant)
2.Zegna Forte (very strong unbelievable good)
3. YSL la nuit ( is good as Rochas)
4.Givenchy Play Intense( little more sweater but good as rochas)
5. Bulgari Black ( not as good as rochas but also a good one)

please guys write at other reviews similar fragrances to the one you review because that could help people choose between more perfumes

freddiefingers,yeah!!!exist but it was discountinued...very dificult bringbuy!!!

kind of sickening after a while, but in generous application in winter and lighter in summer, people will claw onto you

is there an intense version of this?am slightly confused

I prefer this over New Haarlem, because this can be worn during the summer, spring, or winter. Coffee, vanilla, sugar, florals, and woods is what I get from this. A great fragrance to buy if your new to gourmands and want to see what the hype is all about, and a daily wearer for those that like gourmands that aren't cloying.

Guys and Gals - This is one fine fragrance. I've been looking for it for ages. Way back when, I smelled it on someone in a crowded movie theater and fell in love with it. I didn't know what it was, so I began a search. What I came up with eventually was ST Dupont Signature, and Burberry Touch. To my nose, these two share many notes with Rochas Man. Signature eventually turned me off because it was too sweet and cloying. Touch became too acrid for me. The violet note was over the top, even though the overall fragrance is great. I don't think it worked on me. Then...I found Rochas Man. THIS was the one I had been looking for all these years, and I finally found it. It's heaven in a bottle for me, and I can't get enough of it. I find it smooth, spicy (in a subdued way), and just the most beautiful fragrance on wheels. Terrific is all I can say.

A fragrance for young, sexy and self-confident men. I have it but everytime I smell it my knees start melting. I adore lavander and it's so powerful in those composition of Rochas. There's nothing else that can make me feel so comfortable in my skin!

Very sweet frag.

Not for masculine men.

8/10

Let us start by saying this is sweeeett! You best have some confidence when you put this on. I mean it is sweet!

What does it smell like on me? Like someone poured Hershey chocolate over some cappuccino with a kid near by tearing up some cotton candy. That may sound horrible for a cologne but I love it. I think another reviewer talked about having opportunities to wear this and I think that is my greatest problem. I don't go out much and it isn't a scent to wear to work per se. I am not saying you can't but I have to be in a very playful and maybe "sexy" mood to put this on at work (Corporate America). Anyone who comes in contact with this stuff will give you a reaction, rather it is good or bad you will be reacted to.

If you can buy it. I should have purchased an extra bottle at T.J Maxx a few weeks ago but I think I may have a problem finishing the bottle I now have. This is my second favorite Gourmand behind Pure Malt (my favorite fragrance). I give it two thumbs up, just be a little careful on the trigger and you can even pull it off in the summer but not outside I think. I adore this fragrance and now as I am typing am thinking about wearing it to dance class tonight.

Maurice Roucel is one of those perfumers on which I can't really make up my mind. On one hand I think about some of his creations that I totally endorse and love (Musc Ravageur, Rochas Man, Helmut Lang Cologne and Perfume, Linari Acqua Santa, Gucci Envy, Kenzoair) on the other hand I think about those I hate (Lolita Lempicka Floral Coral, Lancome Hypnose Homme, Marc Jacobs Splash Orange) and can't really decide if he's genius or just a good chemist.

What I can say is that he moves on a very dangerous territory made of a rich sweetness, bittersweet accords, warm and fresh juxtaposition, gourmand and animalic notes. This is a thin line that may easily lead to both a refined sensuality as well as to a total crude disaster. Expecially when he works on male fragrances. In Rochas Man he surely hit the target with an amazing warm-fresh and sweet fragrance that opens with a suprising bergamot and lavander note and turns into a sweet musky-gourmandic drydown. Warm and embracing, fresh and crispy, very sweet but not loud. Can do really well also on a woman.

A great composition sadly discontinued, so stock up. My only disappointment is for the barely acceptable lasting power (3-4 hrs on my skin).

Rating: 8/10 (not higher becaouse of the weak lasting power)

This is the best kept secret for women.

I was at a shop searching for something new and the chica there recommended this. I was initially incredulous, but fell in love at the first whiff. On me it drys down to mixture turkish coffee, almondy baklava and sandalwood incense smell. I get lots of compliments and inquiries. A little goes a long way though, so don't over do it.

Hi.

If images of first kisses,first dates wedding day (and night) and many,many anniversaries is something you enjoy this masculine fragrance.I love it for the simple reason that is smells so delicious and romantic. Comfortable, Cute,Warm,Sweet,Woody, Sensational and Stylish.

It presents a distinctive and lovely blend of bergamot and lavender,filled out by additional notes of Raspberry, Jasmine,Vanilla,Amber and sandalwood that people love and tend to complement you.

It is great for sophisticated men who do not wish to wear too strong.Very good for COLD weather.I would suggest using this if you are going out to a romantic dinner date with your wife or with your girlfriend.

Sillage?Graceful.

Longevity?Very Good on my skin.

7.5/10

I feel like a slutty soft cotton candy ball sipping on french vanilla coffee waiting to be picked up at the corner, when I wear this.
Very similar to Givenchy Play Intense (for men), Givenchy being conjured to smell more refined.
A gourmand fragrance, I guess fat people are going to sniff you a lot lol.
The bottle is so ambiguous, ideas will come once empty.
Longevity: 6-8 hrs (on dry skin)

coffe..vanilla, bergamot,amber..this is so unique and special... And how can someone say that is a A*Men "clone"... Rochas was the first...A* men is much younger anddefinitely Rochas won.... A*men is different, good as well but nothing in common... Love this one , and also like the bottle, very "falic" symbol :P

Great fragrance for winter! If you are a fan of gourmand scents you really need to try this at least once. If you hate sweet scents don't bother.

IMO this is not a clone of A*MEN, its a much more modern, original and tasteful fragrance in the same time. Not to many people wear this or know about it, and I think that's a huge plus.

The projection it's awesome with 4 sprays and the longevity reach at least 8h.

I normally don't like sweet colognes at all. But I came across Rochas Man and Hanae Mori H.M. at the same time. Both were so unique and distinctive that I had a hard time deciding between the two. I loved the way H.M. smelled on the paper strip, but on my skin it became almost rancid. Then the choice was easy. This is definitely a unique scent, it's sweet and I like it...my boyfriend does too!

I had this and loved it but could never find the right time to wear it. It was too cloying for the daytime and never seemed to have enough depth to for an evening scent. I ended up finding myself just spraying it before i went to bed like a olfactory comfort blanket. I loved the Cappuccino foam/baby breath vanilla element of Rochas Man but found it never ever went anywhere interesting after that.I eventually sold it and now miss it and will probably buy it again...if only to help me sleep.

This is a very nice fragrance. I pretty much agree with all the positive reviews here, and will just add that if you are having trouble finding this scent then purchase or sample that new "body heat" fragrance from Bod Man. Can find it at any drugstore, etc...

It is a dead ringer of a knockoff of Rochas man. They cloned it to perfection, except I do not think longevity is comparable to the original.

Amazing fragrance and very hard to find also. I don't know why the fragrances from Rochas has been almost forgoten from retail stores. I found this perfume in Perfumania in Haywood Mall in SC but only only only there. The shape of the bottle is nice and the smell is unique.

When ever i smell it, i feel i'm sitting in costa coffee early morning and waiting for breakfast, while the fresh coco vanilla cookies are getting ready.I just want to eat this scent ::))))
10/10

I have loved and worn this fragrance for many, many years. It has a dry, sweet smell on the first spray; kind of like "cookies and cream" ice cream...

Sillage is perfect with many people asking what I'm wearing when they walk into my office when I'm wearing it.

It is a sweet, warm and comforting fragrance which suits me perfectly; certainly not available everywhere here in Australia but definately worth finding.

I live in a sub-tropical climate and I wear this all seasons, day or night, its just too nice not to!

Most would say, if you own A*Men or Lolita for men then Rochas is unnecessary. Wrong. This is a more sensual coffee blend, still in gourmand territory. I'd say its also safer, where as A*Men and Lolita are easily hated by those whose noses don't comprehend the complexity. Rochas lures women and makes them feel somewhat invited to your atmosphere. Some will invade your personal space. Its like a coffee pheromone. The vanilla is the cream in your java, and that touch of lavender is what makes it sexy. Chamomile would have been interesting, but I'm not complaining.

Observing the bottle, you don't expect the delivery. Its simply a cone. I would have made it an ice sickle... just to stick to the original layout. Love it... but I'll love it even more next month when the season begins to change.

One more on the same style of Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin, Avon Tomorrow Men and Angel (I don't know A*men yet). Perhaps more like Tomorrow Men. Smells good of course, but just if you have a particular reason to pick it up, in case of you already have one or two of the others.

It is like less powerfull A*men but a lot cheaper too. As I love Muglers infamous creation I love this one too. It is sweet on the drydown, I can feel chocolate but it is quite fresh and not offensive, not cloying at all. Longlivety on my skin average - 5 hours but I will test it tomorrow on a party. I think the perfect dosage is around 4-5 sprays, two behing ears, two on the neck and one on the chest. People seem to like it. If you like A*men buy it without trying, if not, check it out maybe this one will not scare you off like carmel chocolate sugar sweet "blue star" Cheers!

Its ... ok.

Not offensive, but i regret buying it. I don't need it and ill never wear it.

بوی شیرین ودلنشین
مناسب برای محافل صمیمی وملاقاتهای دوستانه
ماندگاری مناسب ولی برای هر شخص کاملا متفاوت بسته به نوع پوست



Sweet smell Vdlnshyn
Vmlaqathay for intimate friendship circles
Good durability but quite different for each person depending on skin type

I should start by saying that i think Angel men is one of the most grotesque scents on the planet, but this one, though it bears certain similarities, is actually nice.

Its very smooth and theres enough wood and florals to prevent it becoming overly gourmand. It makes for a nice casual scent and i dont find it cloying if im light on application.

Lasts a long time. Recommended.

hi

This fragrance let me know how to adore the vanila note.
simply this is a GREAT perfume.

I have to make another review on this beautiful fragrance..i was at the bar with friends and i recently got compliments with this fragrance..it was a bartender whos mid 40's..she ask me what was i wearing. i told her it was rochas man, which she never heard of it in her life..which is good because i thought she was going to mention that she knew the fragrance i was wearing.but she didnt..(i know this is a winter fragrance but i got to give it a shot during summer..Like i said it does not project really well, only close to skin...( this is a real winner to the ladies because all the perfect notes blend together)...i cant wait to wear this on winter time

This fragrance is one of the best gourmand ive ever smell..though the projection kinda weak but i dont care about that.this is very close to skin.. i love every single notes in this...im really into gourmand fragrance so far this is one of my favorite one...i love the coffee smell and the vanilla drydown..its very sweet and soft at the same time..opening notes reminds me of cotton candy which i love..this fragrance is good for winter fragrance..this is very intimate at the same time..this is great for clubs and special dates.. women love this stuff because its so sexy and sweet, and women love stuff, and this is a winner for the ladies.in my opinion this one of the easiest gourmand to wear because its not very harsh and cloying like angel men or jean paul gaultier or body kouros they project very well and they are hard to wear.rochas man is a perfect gourmand fragrance...longevity is awesome and sileage is amazing...this is a must have for gourmand lovers..(this is very very very sweet)...but i love it

This is trully 10/10 fragrance from opening till the very last drydown. I am not good at describing smells and I cant describe with words how I adore Rochas Man. Its sweet but masculine with some cofee and flowers and everything smells very natural to me. Sillage is average and longetivity is good (but goes into "close to skin mode" after few hours). Clothes smells marvelous and very long after wearing it. This is no.1 fragrance to me right now and I prefer it for evening wear over fragrances like Le Male or Armani Code. Its also good as daily wear so if you use just 1 fragrance this can be easy your signature. Just use less in summer.

Edit: I just tried Axe Dark Temptation and it smells very close to Rochas Men so if you cant sample Rochas, just imagine stronger and little bit dirty Axe Dark Temptation.

I'm not understanding you, CrestFallen. What do you mean by Very Homosexual? Fragrances take on sexualities?????

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 and possible buy for me. One nice Goourmand fragrance Overall a 8/10.

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 ...

favourite

i was expecting a distinct coffee note. all i got was ambery vanilla. guess i had may expectations were way too high
:(

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.

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 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!

The perfume is nice, but the bottle, oh my God, it's terrible! LOL
Sorry, people...

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.

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 ! :)))

very sweet like unrefined suger

So sexy in a boy...

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!
