L'Homme Rochas Aromatic Touch

Really digging this stuff and I’m may be in the minority but I like this better than the OG (to be fair the OG is great but I’m getting burnt out on blue scents ) This opens up with a pleasant,green,outdoorsy smell that’s also slightly dark from the olibanum and patchouli! It’s very similar to a lot of the current fresh,green shower gels that old spice has however this is more rich and refined !! Aromatic touch is a fairly little near scent but in the mid and drydown it does get more smooth,rich and slightly incense-like as it dries but it still retains that fresh green,shower gel vibe !! Performance on this is decent as it lasts 6-10 hours but it doesn’t project a lot and is mainly a scent bubble type of scent that makes it a perfect work scent !! Scents that I find this very similar to are Swiss Army Classic and Aspen by Coty but even though it’s similar to these cool water clones it goes more in the rich,green direction making this not smell like cool water and too insence-like to not smell like Green Irish Tweeed. Overall rating -8 out of 10 !! Very solid scent to be worn casually at a very good price

The opening is vegetal green smell and I thought I wouldn’t like it. The magic came in the dry down when I was getting whiffs of one of my favorite scents which is jo Malone oud and bergamot. You think it’s gone but keep getting these beautiful wafts throughout the day. Glad I picked it up

Suprisingly this one is the scent that really pulls me from the L'homme line. No shade to OG L'homme, but this one is just better guys, get out of your blue closet and enjoy it for what it is.

This fragrance is very inspired by aventus by Creed & Tsar by Van Cleef and Arpels! It's green & aromatic fougere with fruity touch❤️ great release by Rochas 👍😀

My first impression was one of familiarity, and at first I made the connection to L'Insoumis, as other have below, but since I have that, I've pulled it out to place the two side by side. I can sense something shared here, but their overall impressions are pretty different. L'Insoumis is much more of a "throwback" in it's style, a bit rougher, more herbal, whereas Aromatic Touch is smoother, sweeter and more modern. I wouldn't click above to say they are similar, but the connection is enough that thumbs-downing the comparison seems wrong too. The split vote currently there seems appropriate. I can definitely pick up the shared wood note with SJP Stash that another reviewer mentioned. I would never have connected Stash and L'Insoumis, so a fragrance that threads elements of these two seems to deserve some credit for unexpectedness. I also noticed that no one is voting that is is similar to the fragrance which it flanks, the OG Rochas L'Homme. This is definitely different, but I like that, like it's big brother, this is not out of step other more typical contemporary designer men's fragrances, but stands apart by doing something a little different, and coming off as subtle, refined and mature.
