Rochas Man

Rochas Man EDT opens with a moderate projection of sweet, coffee, vanilla, amber, and soft fruity notes. The opening is very pleasant, it feels gourmand, balsamic, well-balanced, not too heavy, and not faint either. The sweet cappuccino or coffee note is the most prominent, in this fragrance, this note is evocative of blond coffee with a little milk, aromatic but nothing bold or harsh. The vanilla and amber are very close; the vanilla makes the fragrance feel very sweet, delectable, very inviting, on the other hand, the amber contributes with a light resinous, and warm touch. The opening brings light floral and fruity touches, specifically, jasmine, lavender, lily of the valley, and raspberry, but they are support notes, and as such, they are not identifiable as individual notes, but as a group of notes working together to enhance the fragrance and the featured notes. The fragrance transitions from its opening to its dry-down state very quickly, with this transition, some of the initial moderate projection drops making it a more personal space fragrance, more intimate, but noticeable. The sandalwood joins the amber and vanilla enhancing the gourmand characteristics. The cedar and patchouli are enhancing notes, they sharpen the featured notes of the fragrance. The fragrance does not have any significant opening to dry down changes. Once Rochas Man EDT has reached its full-down, it can be summarized as a moderate to low projection, sweet, coffee, vanilla, and resinous fragrance with white floral, fruity, and light woody accords. The fragrance feels aromatic, casual, comforting, cozy, slightly creamy, delectable, delicious, slightly fruity, gentle, gourmand, intimate, invigorating, inviting, light, mild, slightly milky, moderate-quality, modern, natural, nicely-blended, light resinous, relaxing, rich, sweet, unisex, warm, and very pleasant.

For the price, you can't really beat this. I paid less than 30 including delivery and taxes, and for it I received this absolute gem of a fragrance. I feel like this comes from a long line of scents that came in the wake of the highly successful Thierry Mugler A*Men, which might just be the most influential fragrance of the last 35 years. This doesn't really smell like A*Men, but it does go in a sweeter direction the way that A*Men does, and unlike any other fragrances that came out before it, or at least to the extent that A*Men did. This is lighter, sweeter, whereas A*Men is a complete beast mode powerhouse of a fragrance that some may even consider to be challenging with it's notes of leather and patchouli, yet it has a gourmand coffee accord that makes it seem almost edible, and this is very much in the same style. It smells like dessert, or breakfast as some have said. This is so wearable, you could wear this anywhere and I feel like I've been saying that a lot lately, but it's one of those things that you can wear almost anywhere and it just fits, and I think you could even wear this as a Netflix and Chill type of scent with your significant other, I feel like this is almost the perfect Valentine's Day scent in that regard. To me, anybody 25 and up would probably really like this, it has a little bit of a maturity/sophistication to it that makes me feel like younger than 25 probably would be less likely to enjoy this, but this definitely isn't an old man's scent even though it came out in 1999. It's somewhat notorious for having poor performance, and indeed it does quickly become an intimate scent, but the longevity seems completely fine, I've been wearing it since about 7:30 (it's almost 11 now) and I still have a nice scent bubble, but I'm sure that I don't have much of a trail. I feel like even though this is my first full wearing, I know more or less how this is going to go: 4-6 hours of longevity, and the first 90 minutes it'll have some push but not much. You have to spray a little bit more than other fragrances I'd say, but not by much. I really feel like this is going to be one of my go-tos this spring oddly enough, I live in a cooler climate, so it stays pretty cool especially in the evenings until summer, and even then I think this would work real well. I cannot say it enough how much I like this, I feel like this fits in very well for someone who likes those more ambiguous/unisex style mens releases, where maybe you can tell that they're masculine to an extent, but the way in which they're masculine is quite subtle. Fragrances like Dior Homme and Dior Homme Intense, the Valentino Uomo line, VC&A's Midnight In Paris, Bvlgari's Black, and even YSL's La Nuit De L'Homme and Chanel's Allure Homme come to mind for this category. If you like those kinds of fragrances, you should add this to your collection.

I bought this one because I am a woman who loves Replica Coffee Break (and so does my boyfriend, who steals it often) and this was recommended by many people as not a dupe, but being in a similar vein to Coffee Break. And it definitely is, though I think women looking for a cheaper dupe for Coffee Break should definitely just go for the original. Rochas Man has that same intoxicating lavender-coffee-vanilla opening of Coffee Break, and upon first spraying it I was impressed with how close the resemblance is. Coffee Break is misunderstood by many, but it is a truly androgynous fragrance -- not unisex, but rather flirting with both very traditionally girly and manly notes in a way that feels timeless and masculine but also girly and coquettish, and there is plenty of that here as well. However, as it lingered for a few more minutes, and then more and more as time passed, it morphed more and more into a fresh and rather generic feeling '90s/'00s men's aromatic. I don't find a masculine scent unappealing on me, so my dislike doesn't come from that -- but to me at least, the generic locker room aromatic cologne that dominates after is not nearly as beautiful as the opening, and Coffee Break's milky vetiver cedar dry down manages to have that gender-bending quality without smelling as out of fashion or smelling like a young dude's clubbing cologne. Performance is indeed low, maybe lower than Coffee Break -- but unless a fragrance is exorbitantly expensive, I really do not mind that -- I don't want my fragrances to speak for me, just to give a subliminal good impression of me. I'm just a little let down by how dated and teenage boy-ish the dry down smells, and for that reason, it is a strong like and not an absolute love, despite the opening minute smelling like a dead ringer for my beloved Coffee Break. But for somebody out there, my loss is your gain, and it's still worth the sample, because it's a delightfully fun ride nonetheless!

Coffee, chocolate and lavender. Looking at other reviewers I see most votes go to the winter and fall. I disagree. Yes, this is a gourmand, and those are the seasons gourmands are typically good for. But this is not a typical gourmand. This is a spring scent. While yes, you can get away with this in fall and winter, this is the kind of fragrance that extends the gourmand season, not shines when its at its highest. The lavender is really prominent and makes it smell really fresh and clean. Too fresh to feel comfortable if you're cold. This smells like sipping a hot cappucino, outside, in a field of lavender, and unless its weather where you could see yourself doing just that, I dont think this scent comes fully to its right. It does not perform bad on me, as I've often read on others. On skin lasts till the end of the day, on clothes wont leave till you wash them. It smells really good and ladies do seem to love it. I got this as it was compared to A*men, and I love amen (pre-reformulation, haven't tried the last one yet). But I dont think this are comparable scents at all. Amen is a much heavier, fullblown cold weather fragrance. Of the two, I do prefer amen, but certainly not unhappy about this addition to my collection at all, and doesn't feel redundant either. I'm wearing it quite often. One thing to note: the bottle did require a few months of maturating to come fully into its own though. I really didn't like it at first spray. Oh, and the bottle itself is simply atrocious. I can get beyond the part it looks like a sex toy people put in places where the sun dont shine, the person who thought it was a good idea to have the atomiser facing down when the bottle is standing up really needs to rethink his career options. Fear of leakage drives me so nuts I can't store this thing anywhere but in its box, upside down.

Gourmand Fougere (Maurice Roucel, 1999) Scentrack: The Rhye - Fall During my college, I used to wear Rochas Man. Relaxed, fun and cheerful like my college days, Rochas was so appropriate. After ten years I bought it again, and I recall it being more powdery and dirtier. The current version seems cleaned up, but still possessing that naive charm. Rochas is still a wonderful example of gourmand fougere, patented by great perfumer Maurice Roucel. Like a proper fougere, Rochas Man starts with clean, but soft lavender note, later found in Roucel’s Hypnose Homme. Apparently, reformulation took away the fizzy top note of bergamot. The lavender is followed by amazingly complement mocha coffee note. What a perfect blend. A beautiful chimera of fougere lavender and gourmand notes of coffee and cotton candy, replayed in Bond No. 9 New Haarlem. After these main notes, I do sense a subtle fruity note raspberry and pink lily of the valley note. There is also some cedar, like a backbone leading to wonderful base consisted of affable vanilla and dark amber. Unfortunately the performance of this fragrance are questionable, but I still prefer over more expensive New Haarlem. Sweet, magnetic, attractive, fragile and celestial. A perfectly intimate and introverted fragrance. Rochas always made brave, yet somehow commercially unsuccessful fragrances. I always have been weak on commercial losers, like I always preferred Wile E. Coyote over the Road Runner. Rating: 7.5/10

I Feel like Frank Sinatra, here, when I was 17..... well I was 21 and tow old ladies blue rinse came undone, as they asked me in Superdrug what I was wearing? When I told them they looked for it on the aisles and then said where is it? I said err its not available here its available at dept stores and high end boutique as I bought my £1 shaving foam. Whey they got rid of Saber foam I will never know? Anyway I digress. The next question is how much does it cost? When I told them. They said are you mad? We can pay our gas bill for a year for that! It was expensive in the 90's and gas was relatively cheap. Then the one of the old women pinched my bum and said you smell nice for a immigrant! I will still remember that. The next I wore it was to my friends place where his sister asked me waht i was wearing? I told her and she went an bought it for her boss! Me thinks she was having a fling with her boss! I met her 25 years later and she said I still remember that fragrance you wore and do I care for a coffee? Where she proceeded to tell me how her boss would not leave his wife and just saw as an exotic bit of fluff, to try an Indian! I never wore it again. Lovely coffe infused sweet smell. Lovely bottle. I was dating a girl form New Zealand and she kept saying if only I could put battries inside it when your not here!

This is the one of my top. I just can't stop enjoying this fragrance. Having in my collection more expensive stuff, but Rochas Man is my love. I use it as a night time fragrance, like to spray my pillow before I go to bed. It's sweet, gentle, incredibly cozy and safe, when I smell it, I get a feeling that I'm home. It has great anti-stress effect for me. I can't imagine anyone not like this scent. It's 100% unisex to me, not feminine or masculine. It's a little bit synthetic, but not in a bad way at all. Being a coffee lover, I don't really get the coffee notes in it. Rather it smells like a good raspberry vanilla desert. Not a huge projector, but it stays on skin and clothing for a decent amount of time. It definitely outperforms some more expensive fragrances in longevity. Speaking of presentation, I don't get the associations with adult toys. The bottle looks very interesting, like a lava lamp and I like it a lot. Interesting enough that the first day I bought it I couldn't detect any smell from it. I think that it needs some air in the bottle to activate the smell. From the second day the smell appears and it became way stronger in a couple weeks.

As a gourmand this is a very light and airy scent. You get a creamy cappuccino and raspberry off the top with lavender sweetening the mix. Works very well together. Vanilla will add to that and remain constant. Dry down sees the raspberry fade away overtime while the lavender, vanilla, and creamy notes amalgamate to make a sweet and still delectable scent. I think the raspberry stands out a bit more on clothing than skin. As a coffee forward scent, not the best. You will find many others that focus on coffee with better results. This is more of a light dessert coffee that you enjoy for a short time before it moves on to become a creamy sweet scent. Longevity is mid. Good for a few hours at best but I am fine with that. I bought this to use in the mornings as I sip on coffee and nothing more so having a shorter lifespan suits me well. My first bottle was in the early 2010s, was happy to find a tester bottle (includes cap) for sub $30(cad)/100ml in 2026. I am glad to have this once more but I admit that this was a throw-in to reach the free shipping threshold. At regular price ($50ish) I would have firmly passed. .... butt plug.

I bought it as it was told to be a very good gourmand coffee fragrance. That coffee is actually cappuccino, as the main note is sweeter and has a kind of balsamic side note, it reminds me of the lactose free milk. Besides of that it is very very sweet, almost like a cotton candy on the beach. I can smell bergamot, some floral notes, and patchouli, later will lavender be recognizable. Strange, that is in spite of being really sweet, its still a masculine one. Its really cheap so you cant expect an outstanding quality - you will get a pretty good, but synthetic fragrance for its price. However its totally worth it in my opinion. I cant imagine this as a night time fragrance, but more a daytime - for metrosexual edgy guys. This is a perfect choice for a lunch or dinner because its a very cozy pleasant scent. It was a blind buy for me, if you like softer sweeter generic good-guy scents, you want a parfume which wont offend anyone, neither will get you too many compliment its a great choice. If you meet people who are not into fragrances too much - perfect choice!

Verify authenticity before you post, go to your bands website or use checkfresh. Old vs new. Old version had much more coffee vanilla tones, the new batch has little to none. But still a pleasant cologne. New batch is more sweet lavender and citrus to it. Still an enjoyable wear, but not close to the original. Or maybe mine just macerated more with age. More male, but can be unisex. Truly it will adapt to who wears it. Who doesn’t like coffee with some sweetness to it. I will buy again & girlfriend enjoys it.

WOW! SMELLS LIKE A WARM VANILLA CAPPUCCINO ON A COLD WINTERS DAY! Ok I'll stop yelling now but seriously this juice is so amazing and brings back so many great memories for me. I have owned rochas man since 2009 and I don't think I will ever be able to go without a bottle. It is the absolute perfect winter cologne especially when it's snowing outside and your forced to stay indoors with a nice warm fire going and a cup of hot chocolate or a coffee. It smells just like a cup of vanilla flavored mocha with just the right amount of creamer added. It has a very smooth smell and maintains the same scent throughout the wear. This would be a perfect winter/cold weather scent and is great for when your cuddling with your significant other. The projection is very close to the skin but it will last a decent amount of time. Luckily it's cheap so you can reapply as needed. Overall this is an amazing cologne Solid 9/10 fragrance in my book! Thank you Rochas.

Nose Note #651 I already have a review for Eisenberg J'ose which was my first perfume ever which I've worn all year long. It's astonishingly similar to this. Judging by other fragrances I've tried from Eisenberg - it's just another small European dupe house. If you are looking for a coffee fragrance, I think you'll be disappointed. This doesn't have realistic coffee. I would have never even thought this is supposed to be coffee. To me it's just some enigmatic sweet dark accord with lavender. Imagine JPG Le Male, but with this "coffee" note - I'd get something close to this, but less sweet. This is more than mildly sweet, but not very sweet. It performs much better than average, but it's not crazy. I think for 1999 this was groundbreaking, just like Le Male - one of the fathers of the modern trend for masculine super sweet scents. Perhaps it's a little easier to wear than Le Male. 9/10, just superb. I'd say this is a must-try

Let me begin by saying that this costs 35 euros for 150ml (100+50) where I live. That is an absolute STEAL. This is such a nice comforting scent for that price point. The smooth vanilla and cappuccino notes make it very attractive and sexy. This was the first fragrance I tried with a coffee note, and I instantly fell in love with it. It's a very warm and masculine scent. It definitely does NOT smell like 35 euros. If I smelled this on someone without knowing what it is, I'd assume they're wearing a more expensive fragrance. But what's holding this back from a 5-star review? That would be the projection and longevity. It's a shame that it doesn't last very long on my skin in colder weather, only around 3 hours. I also don't love the bottle design, some say it looks like a bullet but that's not really what comes to mind. I have yet to try the Intense version of this, hopefully it's better performing! ^ Edit: spoiler, it is

At first I didn't like Rochas Man much. It's my first coffee fragrance, so it took a little bit of time to get used to it. After a few days, I started genuinely liking it. This is a great blend of coffee and vanilla that makes you smell like a dessert. I was amazed that the fragrance was released over 25 years ago, because it still smells very modern. You are not gonna feel like a grandpa with this one. The projection and longevity are moderate. This perfume becomes rather intimate after some time, which is not inherently bad, it just depends on what you are looking for. Many people criticize the bottle design for some reason. Yes, it could be used as a dildo, but are you gonna mention real drawbacks? If a bottle design makes you feel gay, you have got some problems. Overall, it's an insane value for the price. For around $30, you get a unique and pretty versatile scent that won't leave you dissatisfied.

Overall it’s a very pleasant scent. The opening smells like a custard pastry with a sweet cappuccino sitting in the background. After a few minutes I can smell the raspberry and floral notes and within 30 minutes it turns into a vanilla and sandalwood mix on my skin. The scent left on my clothes is one of freshly laundered cloth, which is nice. Definitely a nicely layered experience, but the longevity is no more than moderate for me. It’s projection is not particularly powerful either, but I would avoid over spraying it as I still believe my own personal body scent should be part of any fragrance. I would put this scent in the unisex category, but as a bloke I am happy to wear this for outings to the coffee shop or casual and family get togethers. The price is low for this quality scent and the layered transitions make me happy. It’s a big thumbs up from me.

I’m a big fan of this one. It’s been in my collection for a long time (long before I really had a collection). Before reading the notes (or even caring about notes), I always felt it gave off a creamy chocolate vibe. I now see that there’s a coffee note, which I can definitely pick out. It blends quite nicely with the vanilla to give off that chocolate feel I so enjoy. The lavender gives it a slight powdery aspect, which I really like alongside the sweet creaminess of the coffee and vanilla. As my collection has grown, so has my appreciation of this fragrance. It offers up something unique to anything else I own, and I find myself reaching for it often in the fall months when I crave a cozy, sweet scent. It’s definitely a fragrance I’ll repurchase when my current bottle runs out.

This perfume is very beautiful and dear to me. Sweet and fresh at the same time. There are few such perfumes that are like that. Coffee, wood, citrus fruits, vanilla beautifully blended. I don't know, this perfume always confuses me, because sometimes it's more fresh and sometimes it's more sweet. Something that everyone should own, because its price is beyond ridiculous. I love him because he makes me happy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 6/10 Perfume performance - excellent when compared to the price. It probably lasts 6 hours, it all depends on weather conditions and skin. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 8/10 Perfume rating - a wonderful gentle and smooth perfume. Something that could be worn when going on a date with a girl. Edible and gourmet perfume. You will be irresistible :)

Rochas man... ...when it came out I found it very unique as it wasn't and still isn't very common to incorporate a coffee note to fragrances. I still believe it is quite unique in nowadays saturated perfume market where it seems to be more popular to follow trends rather than being a little bit different. The most prominent notes are definitely the coffee/cappuccino note which is tickled by a subtle raspberry note. Users who can't pick the note should get their nose checked or return the bottle because it might be from a bad batch. The coffee/raspberry note blends nicely into a vanilla and soft wood note during the dry down. It is not as strong as it used to be which is ok considering that it is a lot less expensive nowadays.

Sweet, charming, relaxed, subtle. A great fragrance for men and women who just want to smell good. They are not trying to impress anyone, just pleasing themselves. Anyone who adopts Rochas Man as a signature sees no reason to fork out hundreds for the latest over-hyped niche thing. That's a very chic decision. On the longevity issue, Rochas Man lasts all day on me with a couple of small sprays. As others have said, you might lose the scent yourself but others will still smell it on you. (I find Bvlgari Black behaves that way too.) Try adding a spritz to a scarf if you want to prolong it. And - that little scimitar on the flap of the box - hilarious! Has no-one noticed it? It pops up briefly in the video ad too.

Freaky bottle design, spicy coffee, with an elegant sweet but mature dry-down; what's not to like? This is my go-to on an errand day. If you're not a fan of coffee I feel like, although strong at first, it tends to mellow out rather quickly. It will linger on your clothes for WEEKS! I have a sample of Halloween X Man (I believe that's the name) and THAT is an intense coffee scent - rochas man is like its darling, twink, cousin. I say twink but, at the end of the day, it remains unisex in my opinion (as scents are bc they are not people). PLUS the price is SO good for such a slayage of a scent. I'd recommend it for those who love a strong coffee note with some spicy complexity.
