Rochas Man is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1999, created by Maurice Roucel. Man opens with Bergamot and Lavender, settles into a heart of Cedar, Jasmine, Lily Of The Valley, and Coffee, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Rochas's Man carries a Favourite verdict, a coffee-led wear.

This 90s gourmand classic is a surprisingly divisive choice, with many praising its unique coffee and vanilla blend, while others bemoan its frustratingly poor performance and sometimes synthetic feel. It's a cheap thrill, if you can get past the quirks.

Its moderate projection and smooth, warm gourmand profile make it suitable for casual wear and intimate settings like dates. However, its perceived poor longevity means it might be less ideal for formal events where a lasting impression is desired, and it's definitely not for sport.

About

Rochas Man opens with a curious blend of fresh lavender and a whisper of bright bergamot, quickly softening into a creamy coffee heart. Hints of sweet raspberry and delicate white florals intertwine with warm vanilla and amber, supported by a smooth, woody base of sandalwood and patchouli, creating a cozy and inviting aroma.
