Eau Des Rochas Pour Homme and Bowling Green

Thread Starter 
I am wondering how similar Eau Des Rochas PH is to Bowling Green? I purchase BG based on it being a pine/citrus scent but I don't smell the pine and it seems very short lived on me. No comments or compliments either. I am inquiring about EDRPH because it is mentioned having a pine citrus drydown. Trying to simplify my collection (life in general) for 2008 so I want to avoid adding a similar fragrance. I normally don't buy blind but I would have to buy the Rochas untested. Happy New Year to all.

Eau De Rochas to me is a lemony scent, well made and refined, yet short-lived. Never tried Bowling Green though so no comparison of the two. Hope this helps.

In a similar vein, but I find Bowling Green woodier and longer lasting. Eau de Rochas is a classic unisex verbena frag, whereas Bowling Green is a greener, woodier masculine scent that's heavier on the lemon.

The Rochas is one of the nicest "classic" scents imo. It does have a nice lemony edge to it, similar lemon to GFT but not as strong. I haven't used BG for a while, but I remember it to be an 80's type -- nice but nothing too special.
