Woody-Amber Fougere From the very first spritz, this fragrance leans more toward a woody-amber fougère than a traditional chypre—thanks to its linalool-rich top and coumarin-heavy base. The structure is anchored by Iso E Super and Vertofix, giving it a solid woody spine. Right out of the gate, you get a burst of woody-citrus brightness: think mandarin, tangerine, and petitgrain with a zingy squeeze of lemon to elevate the whole citrus accord. The heart softens into a delicate bouquet—neroli and muguet take center stage, with subtle rose flourishes and a whisper of ionones, elegantly linking the florals to the woody base. Interestingly, I couldn’t pick up a strong Hedione presence, often used to enhance diffusion—though in this case, the muguet notes alongside Iso E Super and Vertofix do a fine job of radiating the scent. As it dries down, soft hints of sandalwood usher in a creamy, comforting base. Coumarin adds its signature sweetgrass nuance, paired with vanillin for a touch of cozy warmth. Then come the darker players—patchouli, labdanum, perhaps a dash of benzoin—lending depth and earthiness to an otherwise airy composition. Cedarwood slices through with a fresh, slightly rough edge, and there’s even a ghost of powderiness. Finally, clean, linen-like musks tie everything to the skin with a subtle, lasting elegance. It wears like a modern ode to Guerlain’s Habit Rouge—a smoother, quieter cousin perhaps, following a path of citrus > white florals > woods > vanilla & patchouli. Much easier to wear, far less bombastic. A beautiful fragrance, no doubt. 8.5/10

The world of perfumery is much more interesting and intriguing than most users can imagine. Beyond ratings as "citrus" or "wood", "sweet" or "nauseating", there is a magic behind the creation and the use of each note in the composition of a fragrance. A single ingredient may generate different nuances according to its extraction, its use in the olfactory pyramid or its merging with other ingredients, i.e., it is possible to get from the same plant, for example, either an earthy tone, or a herbal, or a cooler, or a woody, etc. This also happens with flowers and spices. A single spice can generate nuances that are sometimes hot and burnt, other times raspy, sometimes sweet, other times creamy, etc. Having said that, I dare say that this cologne has one of the best vanillas (if not the best) I've ever felt in a masculine scent. This vanilla dances between the creamy and the alcoholic, without being too sweet or cloying, as they call it. This fragrance has notes of neroli, cedar, amber, Sycamore and vanilla. The final result is fantastic! An elegant aroma reminiscent of wealth and pride. The only problem is that, despite being relatively new (released in 2003), it has been discontinued. A sin!

Beautiful. Rochas Lui in one word. I had it a while back, used up my bottle and then shocker, could'nt find it anymore. Now I finally found my "precious" again.It has a sharp citrus opening but once the woody note from the cedar and the vanilla, Patchouli and amber blend in, olfactory heaven. warm, rich, and comfortable. The only other perfume I feel the same about is Lutens' Chergui. In fact they evoke a similar vibe( they do not smell alike) for me even though they use very different ingredients. I wear one of them usually when I am spending the day by myself and want to smell good for myself. I do get compliments on this all the time. Good projection for about 4 hours and excellent longevity, 8 hours plus easily with 4 sprays. I would happily wear this all the time if it wasnt discontinued and I am trying to make my bottle last. Whoever decided to pull the plug on this one and discontinue it needs to be put in a straitjacket and locked up because they are certifiably insane. If anybody at Rochas is reading this, bring Lui back. I promise to buy it for the rest of my life. 9.5/10

I was so lucky to find a 50ml bottle of Lui Rochas. This UNBELIEVABLY SEXY juice has a sweet creamy vib of amber, vanilla and patucchli. Neroli really adds a floral aromatic scent making it luxurious. Both cedar and amber comes together beautifully giving it a sexy appeal to any woman who loves a woodsy/sweet aroma against a men's body. The aroma is very refined which is worth having. Longevity and Silage is excellent lasting over 8hrs Finally thoughts, I hope that Rochas think about bring back this GEM which is very hard to find now. It's impossible to find a real attractive luxurious juice of same level without spending over 200usd. Now almost all Purfumery have established their name some have watered down todays fragrance instead of keeping the old way which is a sham. If you can find Lui, don't hesitate to buy it...believe me you will enjoy this exquisitely crafted fragrance. 10/10...I can't find anything that would bring down the quality. ♥♥♥♥♥

Smelling Lui made me think about how much we can be silly when we try obstinately to cathegorize perfumes. Niche, Designers, Mass Market, Up-Market etc. etc.. IMO, sometimes (sometimes), we should simply stop making many differencies and divide perfumes into good ones and bad ones. No matter who released or created them. Lui is surely a good one. A very good one. The bitter-sweet character of this awesome composition left me stunned, amazed and completely fascinated. A perfect blend of aromatic patchouli, vanilla, lemon and neroli joined by a subtle floral accord and laying on a solid cedarwood base. A bold composition perfectly crafted and balanced to never cross the border of vulgarity. Great lasting power. Lui stands at the top of my "favourites" from this house. When I smell something like "Rochas Lui" I understand why I love fragrance. Rating: 9/10

I'm surprised no one mentioned that this smells almost identical to the opening of Dior's Sauvage parfume (2012). While the Dior changes and becomes sweeter and almost gingerbready due to the mhyrr, this stays in that phase. It is quite linear as one reviewer mentioned. It's not a bad thing, it's got that very old school vibe like the Dior, and gets slightly soapy in the later dry down. It's a decent performer and a vet masculine scent. I wouldn't go hunt this down unless you get it for $100 or less, I got a 100ml for that price and while not disappointed, I can say I didn't really need this. I'll most likely sell 2/3 of the bottle in decants and save a bit for myself. 7/10

This is my first fragrance review. Rochas Lui is one of my favorite fragrances. I describe RL as a very woody and citrusy fragrance with good longevity and decent projection. The first minute of application smells very spice like Old spice but changes very quicky to its wood and lemony notes which are there to stay. The use of neroli is superb and vanilla adds a little depth to this fragrance. The fragrance does not change much after its application and remains almost linear for most of its stay. RL smells very expensive and is very rare to find today. I have a full bottle and would use it on very special occasions. I just love it.

As usual, other persons described de scent very well. Nothing to add to this point. I just want to say that there are 2 perfumes in my collection that I like to sniff the bottle: one is Egoïste and the second is Rochas Lui. I am very happy to have this 2 bottles and I will use them for very special ocasions. Indeed, Rochas Lui was made for evening. And I agree : shame on Rochas for discontinuing this fragrance. Recently I smelled 1 million and It is simply has no class. It is just a cinnamon bubble gum . Nice to chew but not as perfume. Rochas Lui has class, or, had class. It's sad to say "had" .

God knows why so many good frags, not at all old or dated, aren't produced anymore! Rochas's Lui is one of the kind. Bitter than CK's Obsession and sweeter & darker than Azzaro PH, RL is a gem for those who love that sort of woody-aromatic, warm, masculine and powerfull scents. A perfect perfume for the winter or cold weather. Few women will be able to name it, but all of them will like it - on you. So, don't hesitate to spice an evening or a night with something like that. You will remember it - and she will, also. It's a must have for any respectable collector/perfume lover. A deserved 9/10

For me, this was the one that got away, and I really don't know how or why. It had been on my wishlist for some time based solely on the incredible reviews. Finally ordered a sample recently and purchased a bottle on Ebay after the first wearing. Unbelievable that this was discontinued. It's fantastic, unique and everything that it's built up to be. Read the reviews. Try it. You'll want it. I would say that I am more impressed with this one than I've been with anything else I've sampled in quite some time. Tens across the board!

Managed to find an open bottle for under 20 EUR and I will treasure it dearly. First test on my skin I got initial blast of citruses and some bitterness from neroli, then combination of sweetness from vanilla and amber, mellow creamy wood and some spiciness and earthiness from patchouli. Love it. On my skin, in the drydown I get mostly vanilla and patchouli, not unlike Lord of Misrule from Lush (of which I love shower gel but I am not a fan of how the parfum version behaves on my skin).

So finally I review my all time favourite summer fragrance. Why do these companies discontinue such beauties . Honestly baffles me to extreme limits. Very straight forward citrus woody but the beauty is in the simplistic creation. Opens up with blast of citruses which fade away to make way for star ingredients cedar. Vanilla and other notes compliment cedar . I would say it is quite a mature fragrance with acquired taste. Big thumbs up Rhossssas looooi ;)

Decided to buy this after reading the many glowing comments here and I have to say that I can't believe how much I LOVE LUI. Gorgeously blended clean fragrance that I can't seem to keep my nose from. Probably one of the best ever fragrance purchases I will make based solely on the comments of others I've never met. A big thank you firstly to the house of Rochas and then to "alfarom" for his honest and spot-on comments on Rochas Lui. I really do LOVE LUI.

Just to follow up on my previous review...love this fragrance so much that I decided to buy another large bottle just in case it becomes really scarce and the cost then becomes ridiculous...Rochas Lui is a beautifully blended masterpiece...at times it truly is utterly compelling...completely agree with alfarom in his comments on this fragrance, "When I smell something like Rochas Lui I understand why I love fragrance." ROCHAS LUI = UNIQUELY GORGEOUS

I realized quite some time ago, that I wear fragrance for me, myself, and I...yes, it's a bonus if someone else likes or loves the fragrance I'm wearing...but quite frankly, if someone doesn't like the fragrance I'm wearing, I could care less really -- they are quite welcome to either stay away from me or breathe through their mouth if need be...anyhow, from my perspective, Rochas Lui is all about me, myself, and I...and we all LOVE it!

Rory - I'm not a fan of gourmand fragrances and I wear this regularly. The sweetness comes from the citrus, vanilla and amber which are really well blended and when mixed with the woods is powdery and not sickly at all. The notes look very run-of-the-mill but this is really very good and not like anything else I've tried.

بسیار بسیار شیک و یک جنتلمن واقعی رایحه خیلی خوشبو مردانه و جذابی دارد در کمال مردانگی و وقار و کلاسیک بودن لطیف و دلچسب است تلخ و گرم خاص و نادر رایحه اش مشابه ندارد بعد از استشمام آن گویی با مرد خیلی شیک و جنتلمنی روبرو شده اید به قول دوستمان : بهتر از این نمیشه با احترام مهرداد very nice and very good parfum

Today I found it and bought it. It'S really a amzing high quality scent. I can feel the cleanness vibe and neroli at top while its rich with woods amber and something deep at heart. It quite masculine mature and young as well. I can see why it is so hyped among discontinued fragrances.10/10

@eric.cius I think you mean eau sauvage parfume not sauvage. if thats what you mean .eau sauvage yes is another masterpiece as well as Lui Rochas .I own many classic perfumes. but eau sauvage not similar to Lui Rochas . eau sauvage is a mastercrafted work in its own category.
