Thanks for sharing, tabbakh. I happen to agree and I also think Rocabar deserves better press than what its been getting..![]()
We were in DC recently on vacation and I was shopping Bloomingdales. As I walked past the Hermes counter I noticed Rocabar. I almost ignored it, knowing it was an older fragrance, but decided to give it a try. Glad I did.
The fragrance feels very classic and mature, while the berry/fruity notes keep it contemporary. The drydown is slightly pedestrian, but overall the fragrance is very enjoyable and easy to wear.
I think it's going to be a great summer fragrance.

Going to have to give it a serious try now. Never really worked for me on scent strips. I get the idea it's something that has to develop on your skin before you really "get it." Am I right about that?
The coniferous opening is wonderful. Nice spice too. The base has some sweetness but not gourmand/dessert type. For me I like to wear it in cooler temperatures.

And I have to ask this question: that name, Rocabar. . . is it one of the all-time great names for fragrance?
A very understated but alluring fragrance nevertheless.
It has the best opening accord I have ever smelled.
ointments and perfume delight the heart....
