{"product_id":"rochas-man-eau-de-toilette-gift-set-bts316952","title":"Man Eau de Toilette Gift Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe value argument is straightforward with Rochas Man Eau de Toilette Gift Set: a well made sweet fragrance from a Paris house, at a price most of its imitators now match, and it comes ready to give.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaurice Roucel composed it with six materials, which is unusually few for something so distinctive. Lavender and bergamot handle the opening, herbal and bright respectively, and they provide the only austere moment in the fragrance. Raspberry takes it over within minutes, jammy and tart rather than sugared, and jasmine wraps it in a soft floral creaminess that rounds off the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen it sits down into vanilla and sandalwood and stays there. The vanilla is full and rounded, the sandalwood smooth and dry, and the drydown is the bit that people recognise on other men across a bar. It lasts well for a toilette, near the skin once the first hour has gone, and it survives a coat better than most light fragrances do. Two sprays in the morning is the right dose and a third is a waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCold weather is where it makes the most sense, and it is better after dark than it is first thing in the morning. It is marketed to men and worn fairly widely, and anyone who likes a sweet, warm finish will take to it quickly. Boxed up like this it makes a sensible Christmas present that does not require you to guess at a size or a taste you do not know.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe house dates from 1925, when Marcel Rochas opened in Paris with a reputation for dressing the young, and it entered perfumery in 1936. Helene Rochas took charge in 1955 and expanded the perfume business over the following decades. Procter and Gamble sold the business on to Interparfums in 2015, trademarks and all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rochas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53294933115207,"sku":"BTS316952","price":70.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/bts316952.webp?v=1770477826","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/products\/rochas-man-eau-de-toilette-gift-set-bts316952","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
