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.

Wearing this as my scent of the evening.. A really nice vanilla based fragrance that has a Boozy quality to it.. it does get compared to dolce and gabanna the one.. I believe this is better than D&G by a mile.. Not only does it perform better the dry down is much nicer.. I first thought that this is a fall/winter fragrance.. The more more I wore it the more I liked it.. Living in Ohio, and seeing that the summer doesn’t get very hot most of the time I really enjoy wearing this on the cooler summer nights.. I think this is versatile to an extent.. This is a night out fragrance but it’s definitely all season.. Nice work Rihanna! Rating 8.3/10

This is my second review since I have tried The One and can compare that to it and found my girlfriend loves it on me. This is a more tropical The One without the tobacco which can give it an old man vibe at times. It is also spicier than The One. I can say for those reasons Rogue Man is more youthful take on The One and closer Imho than Ed Hardy Villain. I need to get a second bottle just to avoid it being discontinued. Not that I didn't love Rogue Man before, but I really love it now. As my ex-girlfriend said when she smelt it on me "Rihanna can do no wrong." I have to agree on this. I think my original 8.6 is now a solid 9.0.

I just bought the gift set for Rogue Man by Rihanna and it is amazing! The fragrance is absolutely amazing and worth it's value. I highly recommend it for someone who wants a not overpowering, sweet but masculine, fragrance. It is masculine and has a bright opening. Then it soothes down to woody and vanilla and sweet. It's hard to describe but really my favorite mens fragrance. It's so good and best of all it's by Rihanna! It's the perfect fragrance! Rating: This gets a 9.5/10 from me. One of the best fragrances out their now!

Sexy masculine scent. Starts off fresh and citrusy. Then goes into a leather floral with vanilla. And base comes out and sticks to the skin with the Tonka beans and sandalwood and amber giving that warm vanilla scent making it very masculine. It changes about 2 or 3 times but that's what makes it very Rogue! Long lasting too. About 7 to 8 hours. Great for dates and bedroom play.its very different from other colognes out right now. Good job rihanna for being a women's made fragrance. It's my favorite this season so far.

Strong at first, give it time to settle down and then enjoy the spices!! It’s not an every day juice. I would reccomend it for date nights. Women seem to love this one I’ve gotten several “what are you wearing?” Questions. Scent 8.5/10 Sillage 8.5/10 Projection 8/10 Longevity 9/10 (I still smell it on my jacket 3 days after wearing it) Overall 8.75/10 great juice at a great price

Gorgeous, definitely draws inspiration from The One by D&G, along with Allure Homme by Chanel. Tangy bergamot and lightly sweet pepper at the top, sweetens to vanilla orchid, labdanum, tonka, and amber. Lightly dark but still retains a fairly temperate effervescence. Lasts around 5-6 hrs on clothes, really shines in spring & autumn. Would work in winter as well.

One of the best contemporary celebscents, especially for men. It's clean, fresh, alluring, and a little sweet. A lot of votes seem to favor this as a winter fragrance, but I beg to differ, seeing as how this cologne is surprisingly light and could easily get lost in cold weather. A spring/fall fragrance, I would say. Really nice. 8/10

Here are the notes! The woody oriental was developed by perfumer Frank Voelkl. The notes feature black pepper, rosemary, clementine, bergamot, jasmine, cedar, labdanum, vanilla orchid, sandalwood, musk, patchouli, amber and tonka bean.

I love this fragrance. Can anyone recommend some fragrances along the same lines as this..sweet,warm and somewhat fresh. I'm looking for an anytime/occasion fall fragrance. Message me if you have any suggestions. Thank you!

THE GOOD: unique, masculine, smells very nice and surprised that it’s this good for a celebrity scent THE BAD: smells slightly cheap, although it is a good scent BLIND BUY: Yes Rating: 9/10

Very pleasant and really more powerfuull then The ONE from DG. Very cheap...100ml by 20 euros :))) Nice Parfum, good longetivity, good silage. Well done

instead of wasting your money in Yves, Armani, Dior, Gucci & other costly fragrance brands, pick this one and you won't be disappointed. PERIOD!

Because a women made this it’s too sweet and a for women cuz men have to smell like black pepper old wood and cheap shit love that for y’all

It’s actually not bad! Stands out from my 200+ collection. Kudos

I've gotten compliments with this colonge. Its sexy

Fantastic under the radar sleeper

Here are the first 3 things that I thought when I blind bought this and sprayed it on my arm: 1) For the price, I'm not disappointed (a good thing) 2) This smells like a flowery soap I've smelled before 3) I can see how (young) women would find this sexy But after wearing this for 3 days, I can conclude that this is totally not my thing. Guys, there's no way around the fact that this smells CHEAP. It's light, aromatic and tropical-type fruity with a VERY prominent tonka-orchid-clementine combo that screams SYNTHETIC. The addition of a strong musk and amber in the middle give this a resinous feel, but only when sniffed up close. Patchouli and some sandalwood finish it off in the drydown. Unfortunately, there's absolutely nothing mature about this stuff, and nothing that would make me pay more than $10 for a bottle (which I did, and therefore - not disappointed). Remember, IMO, this stuff will appeal to YOUNG women. Young people. I'm talkin' teenie bopper range. People who are probably not into fragrances and don't mind settling for the lowest common denominator (which is still OK). But if you've smelled hundreds of frags by now, this stuff probably won't cut it. And BTW, HOW is this not unisex?? So yeah, I had higher hopes for this given the HEAVILY BIASED reviews online - almost exclusively positive - but for me, it was that sagging flower you see in cartoons. Neeeeeeeoooooooooooo. But hey, FOR THE PRICE, this is actually a good scent. In fact, for a celeb frag, this stuff rocks. It punches other celebrities IN THE FACE, is what it does. For $10, why the hell not? And if you're a young lad, or incredibly budget conscious, this is a no brainer. Otherwise, you can probably do better with Perry Ellis M, or Insurrection Wild II for just a little more. Scent - 6/10 Longevity - 6/10 Projection - 6/10 Overall - 6/10 - Thank you Robyn Fenty.

This is an Autumn and Winter appropriate scent. Sweet, leathery-floral and spicy. For a fleeting moment I detected D&G The One without the Tobacco accord. Then it changed and became Joop! Homme Wild minus the rum note. Once it properly dried down (about 2 hours after first spray) this is now Joop! Homme Wild (without rum) but with a faint accord if D&G The One in the base. This is only my own personal impression of the notes so others may disagree but it struck me pretty quickly what this reminded me of. Rogue is a nice fragrance for sure and I think I do prefer it to Joop! Homme Wild which I do like. Rogue is just a bit too sugary sweet for me really. Better suited to the younger crowd overall. Update: Ok, so just a slight alteration to my previous observations. :o) After 3-4 hours, yes this does become a more discrete scent but most of the sweetness fades and you are left with a really decent spicy woody scent not a million miles from D&G The One EDT (not EDP) and sufficiently different to be able to own both. **D&G The One EDP is head and shoulders above both of the above mentioned imo - a legendary designer scent and one of my favourites.

After a long time of wanting this and then getting it out of the basket and waiting a chance I've decided to treat myself finally. First of all the bottle is like a weapon. It's huge and heavy and despite looking good on the picture it fights badly with other perfume bottles...sadly. The smell...hmm, well it kinda starts very alcoholic and then starts to twist into something a little acidic until it reaches incredible similarity with Salvador Dali Laguna Homme (I guess that's the tonka bean). At the end it turns very good but kinda disappointing. It lasts even less then Dali which is a bad disappointment to me as a Rihanna perfume fan. My money is not wasted but I'm sad that it'll evaporate before I even come out of the house and I don't plan to carry that 100 ml brick with me... It's great for indoor parties or cleaning the house while smelling good. I guess it's a business meeting/ job interview kinda fragrance. It doesn't push other people with strength but rather ignores them entirely...

This is a great bang for your buck cologne and will be a staple in my fall/winter rotation ! To describe this scent I'd say this is a fresh,ambery scent that's slightly spicy but also had a kind of tropical vibe to it as well. It sounds like a strange combination but somehow it really works ! This sounds like a unique combination but honestly it reminds me of a lot of fragrances I currently own. Those fragrances are Polo Double Black,Ed Hardy for men,Bath and Body works Bourbon and also D & G The One. However, I see similarities but Rogue man doesn't smell like a copy of any of those scents. Performance on this is really good for a cheapie ! It lasts 6-10 hours with above average projection pretty much the duration of the entire scent life. Overall rating -- 7.25 out of 10 !!! It's a great all around cold weather scent for a great price but because it reminds me of other fragrances there's nothing that stands out to he that makes me love this scent.

Not a bad scent! This doesn't smell like the original Ed Hardy to me, but it does smell EXACTLY like Ed Hardy Villain. With better ingredients and better longevity. Like D&G The One, with more spice. Rather generic, but good. If I weren't a collector, I'd like this fragrance a lot, but even AS a collector, I'm glad to have a small bottle of this on hand, to take the place of Ed Hardy Villain and D&G The One. While I like both of those, I couldn't justify purchasing either one of them. D&G The One is overpriced and Villain is cheap, synthetic and fleeting. Rogue Man is juuuust right. Rogue for women is much more original, but one thing Rihanna definitely did right is the style of these bottles! The leather cap is VERY nice. This will look great in your collection and will nullify your purchase of the others mentioned. Also, I agree with mkpunk, there is a slight similarity in notes with Jay Z Gold, which is a VERY good thing.

Nice sweet spicy fragrance like somebody else posted it does smell a little bit like spice bomb d&g the one and roca wear evolution the performance is also good with this one as well these celebrity fragrances are actually nice and pleasant most of them by cologne guru experts standards they may not be much in the weird note and scent section but to us regular Joe's that just like to smell good they're nice it's a like and 7/10 better suited for cooler weather fall winter and cool spring it might be a bit much in heat last off the bottle is creative but it is oddly shaped when trying to spray it on when your fresh out the shower with wet hands you'll probably drop it so stand over the couch or bed so you don't break the bottle or the sprayer I got big hands but I still have to use both hands to get it right

A great cheaper dating scent... The opening is heavy on tonka and vanilla and reminds me of Allure Homme, then the leather blends in, at which stage there is some resemblance to Spicebomb. As the drydown enters, I can see why people compare this to The One for men, the main difference being the ginger being replaced by (vanilla) orchid. This makes the scent sweeter and in my opinion not as fresh as The One, but still has a great amber note along with patchouli and sandalwood. The bottle is kinda funky, a big glass block with an equally big faux leather cap. If you're looking for a scent with a vibe similar to The One but are a little low on cash, this is an excellent substitute. For the price, smell and performance ratio is excellent.

If I were to describe Rogue Man with one word, it would be: Tropical. It's a fruity-sweet ambery scent with a dash of spices that keeps it lively. It smells like a tropical fruit cocktail juice. It's a lovely smell, to be honest. A casual one that you could wear to work or while you sit at home relaxing. The comparisons to D&G The One are misleading. They share the soft ambery vibe, but Rogue is playfully sweet & fruity while The One is warmer & more mature. Other than that, they don't smell the same. Overall, a nice, fruity, comfy fragrance that is more suitable for the younger crowd. Frank Voelkl did an excellent job reading Rihanna as the fragrance reflects Rihanna's tropical home of Barbados & her young, poppy music.

I think this is a nice scent. Only issue was on my skin it was gone pretty quickly. I got a few hours out of it. Not horrible, not great as far as longevity goes. If you're a hardcore frag head who only likes natural smelling ingredients then you probably won't like this. But if you're someone like me who has no problem with cheap and or synthetic fragrances then you'll probably like this. Can't beat the price on this one. (Thallium is still one of my all time favorites and it doesn't get much more synthetic than that.) I got a lot of spices/pepper, but not many of the other notes listed. I can't say I got any of the citrus notes that others seem to get on this one. Overall for the price it's a great buy.

Amazing cheapie! This fragrance is definitely inspired by Dolce&Gabbana The One. On my skin I smell the same DNA as The One EDT and EDP. This can be worn in the same situation as those fragrances. As the scent dries down it starts to become more unique. In the opening I get a blast of sweetness. Once the the fragrance dries down, the standout notes are tonka, amber, pepper, and sandalwood. This is a great pepper/floral/sweet scent for men. This is a great date night scent that sits closer to the skin. On my skin Rogue lasts about 4 hours and projects softly. If you are a fan of sweeter masculine scents this is a great affordable pickup. I am very happy I received this as a gift :) 8/10

Got to admit I really like this, I don't know what I was expecting but as soon as I sprayed this on it was a warm comfy smell. Quite peppery to start and sweet. A lovely woodiness and vanilla scent which kind of reminded me for a moment of Jil Sander Man Absolute in the dry down. The sandalwood and patchouli with the amber is very long lasting on my skin. This is perfect for winter and evening use. Longevity is excellent which I am very pleased with. Had 2 compliments on first wearing. I bought the 100ml Edt Gift set with the aftershave balm and shower gel which is on offer at House Of Fraser. Very impressed for a celebrity fragrance.

The one is spicier, this is sweeter. For me...it’s a dead ringer for la nuit de lhomme on opening, way more so than d&g. Lndl dries down to cardamom, this takes a turn and settles with a good amount of sweetness and floral. Same job as d&g, la nuit and at a fraction of the price; i have backup bottle already and have worn it more comfortably over 12 months than la nuit and d&g the one put together. Great buy, longevity sucks, just remember the longevity of the one and la nuit also! Same story here, just spending less money. 7/10 overall, price taken into consideration.

The sweetness in the beginning comes from the black pepper note, once it begins to settle, it's vanilla and sandalwood that come through. Sillage was a bit soft, but longevity was pretty good on my skin and clothes. I don't detect that vanilla orchid note that so many seem to, the definite floral I get is Jasmine. I get the references to The One, there are some similarities in the dry down, that one doesn't work with my skin, it's gone after an hour, this performed well. The bottle is smart. For the money, this is a winner.

After reviewing the review here I blind buy this Rogue. It is bottle is rather big with big cap with synthetic leather on it. First Impression, It is spicy at first , I think black pepper, then after 10 minutes it evolves into some sweet aromatic scent - Cinnamon. after 30 minutes it evolves again into sandalwood and amber. The longetivity is around 10 hour and the sillage is strong at first 3 hour, after that the smell is only near your skin but it is still there. It is good fragrance if you like spices

I agree with khaldoon1984 there is nothing special about this scent, it is very ordinary in the same fashion as other celeb scents, it is a good fragrance but in my opinion it never reaches the same level as a designer scent and its far from niche quality, this is a scent for those who just want a good smelling fragrance, collectors will be disappointed as they tend to ask for higher quality, but still a good buy if you dont expect it to be something unike.

For a budget fragrance, this is pretty good. Sweet, spicy and fresh. Gives me a similar vibe to D&G The One and Mont Blanc Emblem Absolu. They are similar but not clones, they are all unique in the end. To my nose, the fragrance starts strong however fades very quickly. Longevity and projection leave a lot to be desired. I'd be lucky to get 1 hour from this but for the price, it doesn't bother me. Ratings Sillage: 3/10 Longevity: 2.5/10 Scent: 7/10

Yeah it's sweet, but who says male fragrances can't be sweet? I will say the initial burst of fragrance right out of the bottle is almost generically feminine but it immediately calms down and warms up on the skin, turning quickly into a more masculine scent. I think it's pretty generic, but I really enjoy it's simplicity. For what it is and what it costs, it's a good safe fragrance to have on hand for romantic dates and late nights. 6/10

i don't know why do i so desperately want to try this perfume, that never happened to me....the problem is it's still not available in my country although macy's is shipping to my country (it says "product not available at th emoment") and i can't find any other release dates...i've never been so anxious about a perfume but i can't wait another 2 years to get it.....some info someone???

I picked this up at a local discount department store. Rogue Man is nice. There is not much else to say about it. It is a very intimate fragrance that is warm and seductive. The bottle design is kind of interesting with a faux leather cap. I have a feeling this is going to be sought after one day, probably in a year or two. Overall, it's nice but I don't reach for it that much.

Scent: 7.5/ 10 Longevity: 6/ 10 Sillage: 5.5/ 10 Versatility: 7/ 10 Uniqueness: 4/ 10 Quality: 6.5/ 10 Presentation: 6/ 10 Price: 9.5/ 10 Just a typical designer fragrance. Nothing extra special, very pleasant easy to wear. I recommend trying decants before blind-buying full bottles. This fragrance and 900 others available at www.scentswithsense.com

First sniff reminded me instantly of Vera Wang for Men. Not exactly the same, but lots of similarity. Both has a strong base of cedarwood and nice flowery notes on top to mid. Vera Wang has a richer smell. For dry down, the similarity starts to drift apart. Projection for Rogue Man doesn't last as long, but still remains as nice skin scent.

Oooo, I forgot to mention... ...and some people may not want to hear this... It's still better than Moschino Uomo (cringe). Please don't kill me... But the performance is better and so is the smell. So if you're torn between the two, I would go with this one. You can't argue with the youthful sexiness.

Surprisingly good. I was hesitant but I am very happy that I have pulled a trigger on 15ml for 6usd. Now I want a full bottle. Spicy, warm and cosy scent that's classy masculine without being overdressed. Performance is moderate (4-5hrs) and on my skin far better than La Nuit but similar to The One.

Awesome scent, skin test, cool evening, woman, ... I could almost say generic smelling just because I have smelled similar scents with cinnamon and warmth being top notes in them, but really, it’s still good for the price. Warm, Amber, cinnamon, smooth, a tiny smidge of powderyness

Very nice warm weather fragrance which starts off with a burst of citrus and a little nautical. Quickly transforms into soft, slightly sweet florals. Could be unisex. Not a monster projection but decent performance. Lovely.

It is nice for the price DRIVE THROUGH SCENT like take way food it does the job for the price . Can wear it any where medium heavy, generic, sweet with a bit of spice over all good one.

so....september is over, is it out yet somewhere because i can't find it in the stores or the internet.... i have a feeling something bad happened to this perfume...

I picked up a 1oz for $6 on a blind buy. Rogue Man somehow finds a way to be a pleasant, masculine, floral scent with just the right amount of pepper.

Yet another decant I found on Bonanza. Wow, this smells incredible, projects well and lasts forever! One of my new fall favorites!
