Backround information: This fragrance is made by perfumer Maurice Roucel, he is known to have made masterpieces such as Bond No. 9 New Haarlem, Frederic Malle Musc Ravaguer, and Nautica Voyage. This scent is said to be similar to Bond No 9 New Haarlem. The difference being, New Haarlem has more intense coffee notes and some cedar wood is incorporated into the middle.
Recommended uses: Recommended for use in colder weather. This could be either a formal or informal scent. Perfect scent for a date, very sensual and romantic.
How many sprays? 2-3.
Top: Lavender, Green Leaves, Bergamot
Middle: Lush
Basenotes: Amber, Mocha, Vanilla
Presentation: The presentation is pink themed, this is well suited for the cologne as it is a sweet gourmand fragrance. Rocha's box is a radiant pink and the bottle is nicely colored with a tinge of purple at the bottom and the light purple tone from the juice. The bottom opens up and reveals the atomizer, which lets out a lot of juice but not nearly as much as creed sprayers. Only qualm I could see people having is the shape, it is shaped quite eccentrically. However I find the shape comical and it is a centerpiece for conversation when people visit my room and they see the Rochas man sitting on my counter loud and proud, the show stopper.
Longevity: Gourmand scents usually last longer on me. Ive been pleased with the longevity of this fragrance around 8-10 hours.
Projection: This is a strong projector with 2 to 3 sprays people will definitely smell you. The projection in the opening is beast but the last few hours of the cologne, it will wear close to your body.
Scent: The fragrance is beautiful gourmand, a seductive mix of lavender, vanilla, and coffee. The lavender is most prominent in the beginning and it is a smooth enticing lavender. Then comes the dry down which is vanilla coffee and lavender, if you have a sweet tooth this dry down is your one way ticket to candy land.
