Rochas Man Intense Eau de parfum 100 ml

Rochas Man Intense starts out with a strong coffee scent along with the lavender which sits below the coffee. As it dries down, it becomes slightly more sweet and takes on the cappuccino character. I wouldn't call it a strong gourmand type fragrance since the coffee scent makes up part of the whole fragrance. That is, the coffee is there, but you won't smell like a walking coffee roaster. Perfumer balanced everything well. Perfect coffee scent for me. Where Rochas Man Intense fails for me is in performance. The really nice coffee scent is gone in about 3 hours. What remains is a pretty nondescript woody/vanilla skin scent that sticks around for about another 3 hours. If this is the intense version, I can't imagine what the OG must be like. I see no point in buying a bottle.

If you liked the original Rochas Man but wished it had better performance, Rochas Man Intense is the answer. It’s a fixed version, better in every way. This is what the original should have always been – bolder, long lasting, and more satisfying. The projection is just right, and the longevity is phenomenal. It clings to my skin for hours, leaving a beautiful trail behind. It's an EDP after all. The scent opens with that familiar, addictive blend of coffee and lavender, but it’s richer and more robust. The vanilla and sandalwood in the base are smoother and creamier, making the fragrance feel more luxurious, at a low cost. Great for winter/fall days and nights, and also the coldest spring days. Perfect for special occasions or just as an everyday cold weather scent.

I hemmed and hawed a bit; same name, same bottle, same color. In my opinion it is far deeper, and more intense than the first Intense. It is beautiful and has made me intensely happy for the purchase. Just proves you cannot judge a fragrance by its bottle, name or color. I have the old one on my right hand the new one on my left, and while I can notice similarities, the new version is stronger and deeper and thus if you like the former, you will love the latter.
