Rogue Man

WOW, this is some amazing smelling scent. Rihanna Rogue Man is a flanker to the original Rogue fragrance. I paid about 12 for a 1.0oz/30ml on Amazon. The bottle design is weird, especially with the 1.0oz/30ml size. The top takes up at least 60% of the bottle design. Juice is held inside a similar bottle to Antonio Banderas Blue Seduction bottles. The bottle shares similarities to the original Rogue bottle with the spikes coming from the bottom, nearly touching the juice area. It's really unique in a good way. Really well crafted. The only downside is a slight inconsistent sprayer. The smell is really good and very much Polo Black, a spicy topical scent. I like Polo Black so this is why I love Rogue Man. There are two main differences between Rogue Man and Polo Black. The first difference is that Polo Black is kind of linear while Rogue Man is far more of a traditional progressive note pyramid with top, mid and base notes. The second difference deserves its own paragraph... The second is the notes. Besides the noticeable mango note as well as the semi there sage and wormwood, Rogue Man has every single note of Polo Black. Rogue Man has citruses (bergamot and clementine specifically rather than tangerine and lemon), sandalwood, tonka bean and patchouli. To replace the sage and wormwood notes; rosemary, jasmine and vanilla orchid are added. On top of this pepper, cedar, labdanum, musk and amber are added as well. The structure of these notes is amazing. It is unlike anything I smelt except for maybe Jay Z Gold in craftsmanship. The top is a citrusy, peppery opening a little more heavy on citrus but still spicy. This fades about an hour into a cedar and vanilla orchid heavy mid. The mid fades out into a tonka and sandalwood base after about another hour/hour and a half. The base stays for around three to five hours ontop of this. Rogue Man projects amazingly. The first time I sprayed it this morning, I did one spray on each wrist and one against each back of the ear. The sprays on my wrist, I could smell rather far. Normally I would have to put up to my nose to smell after the strong sillage goes away at about two hours but I could have them in front of me by a foot and still smell it. It is like A*Men level projection.The sillage projects about six feet unless tamed like I did. I resprayed at about 3:30 after a shower and sprayed lighter with one spray to my wrists to not offend my parents (my father is very smell sensitive.) That said, it still projected really good. Rogue Man is mostly a fall/winter scent. This is due to the tropical DNA that it adapted from Polo Black and actually perfected. It is a night-time scent that can be tamed down to be a day scent. That said, it isn't a skeleton key scent like say Bleu de Chanel, Ferragamo F Black or Jay Z Gold is. I can see that it is a very good close encounter scent as the sillage dies off but while you have the sillage, it is good for clubbing. Overall, Rihanna Rogue Man was a home-run. It is yet another Parlux celebrity male scent like Jay Z Gold to be amazing. (Parlux also does the Sofia Vageara line my mother loves and the Jessica Simpson line my sister-in-law loves by the way.) I have to rate Rogue Man 8.6 for being mostly a fall/winter scent but a GREAT smell, a GREAT projecting one at that. I paid $12 for the price and shipping for the 1oz/30ml but would GLADLY pay much more for it.

received mine today ! damn, this is interesting ! its smooth, sweet, simple, it's just brilliant. i like DnG "The One" that much, now imagine this : pick the warm and sweetness of "The One" + lots of tonka bean. and ermm... that Vanilla Orchid is the "highlight" in this juice. it makes this different from any other within the genre. it reminds me of Charriol Pour Homme EDT (the drydown of the charriol is slightly similar to Rogue Man's opening IMHO) glad i reserved a bottle. for those of you who like : warm, sweet, alluring scent, give it a try, simple yet complex at the same time. i dont know how to describe it, but it is THAT GOOD ! Scores: - Scent : 9.5 out of 10 (lovely warm-sweet scent, which i like) - Longevity : as always, gonna update later on this one. - Projection : Moderate. its better than "The One"s projection off course. lol - Versatility : 8 out of 10. it's good for night time wearing i guess? and its pretty safe to wear in warmer nights either. yea i know, im pretty skeptical about "when" is the right time to wear such fragrance. as long as i think that it would fit my activities and not offend anybody in the meantime, i'll use it. no matter "when" (day/evening/etc). Overall : finally, with this being said. give this one a try. this one is sure a compliment getter i believe ! and its that kind of fragrance that would make hugs longer. Masterpiece ? who cares. it's GREAT, it's Full Bottle Worthy, i'll absolutely rock on this one ! Regards

Udah punya ini dari pas baru rilis, blindbuy karena botolnya lucu ada spike dibawahnya. Cuma pas awal beli agak kecewa sama wanginya. Wanginya kayak wangi minyak rambut pas jaman saya SD dulu. Alhasil parfum ini hanya berakhir di lemari dan tak pernah tersentuh lagi. Akhir-akhir ini iseng cari parfum yang gak kepake di lemari, nemu parfum ini saya coba pake buat kerja. Kok wanginya beda ya dari pas awal beli dulu, pas awal semprot lumayan strong khas parfum cowok wangi spicy woody ada jejerukannya dikit. Herannya walau lagi pake masker wanginya tetep bisa kecium. Kalo dari masker kecium wangi vanilla tapi creamy bgt (mungkin tonkabean) ada hint woody spicynya gitu enakkk. Dry down nya juga fase paling favorit menurut saya, wangi soft creamy sandalwood. Ternyata butuh waktu yang lama juga buat suka parfum ini atau hidung saya yang sudah mulai dewasa menerima wangi-wangian ahaha entahlah. Btw ini cocok dipake siang tapi pas hujan mendung, atau dipake kerja indoor ini bisa juga asal ruangannya ber AC.

I bought this perfume from prestige philippines. I love the packaging amd the bottle..the box is nice its a cardboard with a leathery coat. The bottle is big and its really heavy. I like the claw design under the bottle. It reminds me of punks. The only disappointment in the bottle is the lid. The leather skin of the lid is made from a cheap leather. It damaged quickly.u can see a lot of skin flakes.and about the scents. My god! Its a very cheap fragrance! It reminds me of deodorant for man in a good way. This scent is normal. I mean, a thousand copy. It has a blast of tonka bean, sandalwood and bergamot.but the tonka bean stays for an hour. The base notes is kinda powdery..its 3 hours on my skin. Its a cheap fragrance for men.

This is a very nice cologne. It does remind me of Dolce and Gabanna The One for men, though it is not identical, it is still very similar. The fragrance itself is very pleasent and seductive. The lasting power is amazing. The projection does exactly what I want it to. For the first hour, it radiates within a few feet or so at the most, but after that it stays close to your skin, but is still the the next day. So it is very nice and long lasting and not overpowering at all. Fragrance 10/10 Lasting power 10/10 Projection 10/10 (if you want you fragrance to remain close to you) If you're wanting a fragrance that enters the room before you do, this one isn't for you.
