Rochas Man Intense
by Rochas
Rochas Man Intense presents a rich, warm gourmand composition with a prominent vanilla and soft woody base. The opening features a sweet, powdery accord that evokes a lighter cappuccino or baked brioche rather than a strong coffee note—though some users detect a faint coffee presence, others find it absent. The scent unfolds with a smooth, intimate sillage and a rounded, creamy drydown that carries a subtle lavender and woodsiness, creating a refined, unobtrusive aura perfect for close encounters and evening wear. It maintains the DNA of the original Rochas Man while offering a more mature, dense variation, leaning slightly more vanilla-forward than earlier versions.
