Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - New Haarlem EDP
Divisive, love-it-or-hate-it. This 'sexy pancakes' scent has a cult following who adore its edible warmth and beast mode performance, but it's not for everyone. Some find the maple syrup note overwhelming and artificial, leaning into cloying territory.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Rochas Man Intense EDP
This "Intense" flanker might not be the beast mode everyone hoped for, but it's a lovely, creamy coffee-vanilla embrace. It's a crowd-pleaser that delivers comfort and warmth, perfect for cooler days.

Season and Occasion Fit

New Haarlem

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its potent projection and syrupy sweetness make it a poor fit for the office, potentially cloying to others. However, the comforting gourmand profile and long-lasting nature are perfect for casual outings or intimate date nights, especially in cooler weather.

Rochas Man Intense

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its sweet, gourmand profile and medium performance make it ideal for dates and casual outings, particularly in cooler weather. It's a bit too rich for the office and entirely unsuitable for sport, saving its best for intimate or relaxed settings.
