In 1999, Rochas Man introduced gourmand notes for the first time into the repertoire of traditional masculine scents. The fragrance is a play of contrasts, balancing opposing olfactory notes of lavender and coffee. Rochas Man Intense is an unusual perfume with the unique sillage of someone who stands out from the crowd and knows how to make an impression.

The head notes reveal a citrus duo and timeless lavender. Both milky and creamy, its cappuccino heart, characteristic of the line, delivers an unexpected gourmet element softened by cedar wood. Then, slightly sweet vanilla notes turn up the sensuality of the composition and elegantly express a carnal dimension.

“To create this perfume, I drew on the stunning Tuscan countryside as my inspiration, more specifically the cypress trees that stand proudly on the hills around Siena. Caressed by sunshine, they assert their strong personality whilst refreshing the surrounding countryside. I have always been fascinated by the sacred cypress tree.” Alexandra Carlin, Perfumer.
