OrientalWhat does Désir de Rochas Homme (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Its longevity is rated moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. It is made for men and has been discontinued.
It starts fresh, citrusy and fruity, with aniseed adding a light sweetness. In the heart, cardamom and cocoa bring a spicy, gourmand note. The base of vanilla, cashmere wood and cedar dries down woody and warm, with an oriental feel.
