Rochas

Rochas Man is a woody eau de toilette for men, which Rochas says embodies everything the modern man wants to be: tender yet masculine, cheerful yet profound. The fragrance is based on the contrast between lavender, jasmine and sandalwood. The bottle contains 50 ml.

What it smells like

• Top notes: lavender and bergamot, an aromatic freshness at the start.
• Heart notes: jasmine and blackberry wood, which Rochas says bring grace and refinement.
• Base notes: vanilla and sandalwood, with a gourmand sweetness.

The fragrance starts off classically with lavender, then becomes floral and, finally, warm and slightly sweet. Rochas says that it thus brought gourmand notes to traditional men's fragrances.

How to apply it

1. Use it on clean, dry skin after a shower.
2. Aim for the base of the neck and the chest, one spray each.
3. Hold the bottle a short distance from the skin, not touching it.
4. Do not rub the skin: the top lavender evaporates quickly and is among the first notes to fade.
5. As it is an eau de toilette, you can refresh it in the evening with a spray.

ProBeauty tip. If you like lavender fragrances but find them too harsh, Rochas Man is a warmer option. Test it on your skin and wait for the base notes: vanilla and sandalwood are what set it apart from a classic aromatic fragrance.
