Are there any fragrances similar to Macassar by Rochas. I like Macassar but can only find a sample, and since it is so hard tro find, I am looking for a similar alternative. Thank you, Sam

I own some Macassar and I can't think of anything else even close to it. If there is something still in production I'd like to know.

Hey Sam...going after a real heavy hitter I see.

Try contacting this place. It's a mom and pop owned perfume store in the middle of Beverly Hills that I stumbled into by mistake.

They may have Macassar. Their web site is a little disorganized, so I recommend calling them. 310-888-8807

They did have One Man Show too. I don't know that it's scent is like Macassar, but it's the same vein as a very loud, masculine 80s over-the-top powerhouse.

I can vouch for them in that they are a pretty big reputable store.

There isn't much out there like Macassar. I do have a 3.4oz in my collection, PM if you want it.

I find Comme des Garcons Eau de Parfum to be a sweeter (believe it or not) cinnamony version
Ferre by Gianfranco Ferre is somewhat like a lighter version

Smelling all three on my arm tells me that these two are similar only by a stretch though...Macassar is just sooooo dark.

OK...went thru my collection...
And the winner is: Fendi UOMO.

The top is very close to Versace Green Jeans, but give it an hour or so and a lighter Macassar shows up.

Gah! So Macassar is discontinued?? thats a mighty shame! I loved the whole concept...Seems extremely verdant and Oriental!
I get certain vibes from the color of the liquid...*Strange Yet Ironic* Will love to try it!!

Cheers and take Care!

One of the best leather/tobacco chypre ever. A giant of charming masculinity.
