Eau de Toilette pour Homme

I like to dabble in masculine vintage on occasion so I decided to buy a bottle of this blind based on what I'd read here. I was able to find the notes and they are as follows. Top : Herbaceous notes, Neroli Heart : Artenisma, Egyptian jasmine, orange blossom Base : Civet, Oakmoss, Patchouli, Sandalwood Wearing this on skin tonight and I had lofty expectations. I heard greasy, musky, oakmoss, and compared to Boss Number One. Sounds right my alley. However I don't find this dark, greasy, oily or or dank, which I was really looking forward too. It's a surprisingly clean scent IMO. Spicy musky, powdered, with some light florals like jasmine, carnation, rose, freshness and softer notes from orange trees (neroli, petigrain, etc), and patchouli. If there's sandalwood in here, it's smothered by the other notes or blended very well. I like it so far but I'm missing out on the greasy, mineral oil and nocturnal character I've heard about. It's definitely masculine, that part I agree with. I'll update after wearing it for a few weeks. Update after 1 year. It's meh. Get vintage Boss One made in Germany if you can find it, or UK if not

Roccobarocco is from another time... A nice, sweet stuffy powdery oriental that inherits the structure of some yesteryears's Guerlains and things as Van Cleef & Arpels pour homme. However, It can be noticed the intent of adding a more modern sweet accord in the mix. Something that I can detect in late 80's, early 90's fragrances as Chanel pour monsieur concentree and Boucheron pour homme.

A very heavy,greasy leather and musky fragrance,hardly wearable,very dark,maybe the darkest fragrance i have............i can compare it to Zwinger by Rammstein,if you know it.

Here we have a juggernaut of its time, treading the line between the rugged and suave, like a well-dressed gent with a handsome face but with a "bad boy" edge. Clean from afar, a bit dirty, greasy, rough around the edges up close, but drawing you in further. Roccobarocco Pour Homme EDT is where the oakmoss is singed and smart-assed, the backside of cigarette ash nightlife debauchery is revealed, with a head shop incense and sweet skank wafting ever so slightly from these forbidden quarters. It is a true fougere-chypre hybrid: a foupre? No, that doesn't sound right. A chygere, perhaps? It's that leather and labdanum, oily, slick, tousled, dark character dueling with a clean, soapy, proper, stiff upper lip, The tension is so thick but oh so seductive. I love this sweet spot in men's fragrance. It's been said that it reflected the toxic masculinity of the time. Really though? Is that where we choose to go with this? Replace "toxic" with "sensual," if you please, and that will change the tenor of the conversation. Every robust, stoic facade in truth has a softer, vulnerable side. That's how I perceive the scents of that era, and Roccobarocco PH is at its apex.
