What does Rocks smell like?

Rocks wears at a moderate level for both longevity and sillage, though the number of votes behind that is small. It is a men's scent that reads as a light, fresh option for everyday wear.

At first, apple and bergamot give a fresh, lightly sweet start. In the heart, lavender, cypress and clary sage add a spicy, aromatic edge. In the base, woods, sandalwood, tonka bean and suede soften and sweeten it. The overall impression is fresh and sweet with a slightly synthetic feel. Created by Steve DeMercado in 2012, it has a close profile to Bentley Momentum Intense and Azzaro Azzaro Sport.
