Man
Rochas Man has a cult reputation among men's fragrances, and this set pairs the eau de toilette with a matching companion piece.
Lavender and bergamot open it, clean and slightly medicinal, which is exactly how a conventional men's fragrance of the period would start.
Then the heart does something unexpected. Raspberry arrives with jasmine, cedarwood and lily of the valley, and the fruit is what people remember. Against the herbal opening it reads sweet and slightly jammy, and it is the reason the fragrance is so often described as smelling like a patisserie even though nothing of the kind is in it.
Amber, sandalwood and patchouli finish it, warm and resinous, and they are what give the sweetness its weight and staying power.
How Rochas Man wears
It lasts a long time and projects strongly, so one application in the morning is enough. Autumn and winter suit it best, and it works as well at a desk as in the evening.
Rochas Man Eau de Toilette Gift Set, from the fragrance created by Maurice Roucel in 1999 for Rochas, the Paris house founded in 1925.
