Man
Rochas Man is built on cappuccino, and that is what people come back to it for: a warm milky cappuccino accord with vanilla sitting where most men's fragrances of its era put wood and moss.
It opens cleanly on lavender and bergamot, which is almost a misdirection, because within minutes it turns. The cappuccino arrives with raspberry giving it a jammy edge, jasmine and lily of the valley keep it from being purely edible, and Virginia cedar gives the sweetness something to lean against.
Vanilla, amber, sandalwood and patchouli finish it warm and slightly dusty. Maurice Roucel made it in 1999, well before gourmand fragrances for men were a category, which is why it still does not smell like anything else at this price.
How Rochas Man wears
Moderate on both counts. It stays close and lasts a working day without reasserting itself, so it is easier to wear often than its sweetness suggests. Autumn and winter suit it best, and it works as well at a desk as on a night out.
Rochas Man Eau de Toilette, sold here as a gift set, created by Maurice Roucel in 1999 for Rochas, a Paris house making perfume since 1925.
