ROCABAR by Hermès cologne for men was introduced in 1998. The masculine scent is inspired (like many of Hermès other products) by an equine theme in keeping with the company’s roots as a saddlery when it was first established in 1837. The scent has top notes of juniper berries, cedar leaves and lavender, nut and nutmeg-cinnamon accords. The heart has notes of cyprus from Italy and two types of cedars. Base notes are Canadian fir trees and vanilla pods.

One of the world’s most oldest foods, these nutritious nuts have been linked to love and fertility dating back to ancient Greece and Rome. It was customary to serve stewed walnuts at weddings to bless brides and grooms with fertility and good health. Packed full of omega-3 fatty acids, which keeps sex-hormone production at its peak, also boosts the immune system. All the more reason for a mid day snack!
Rocabar starts off with juniper and pine needles that punctuate the orange-citrus top notes. These top notes are nestled in a rich and luxurious base of leather and vanilla that has a touch of chocolate. Hermes fragrances have an equestrian theme to them and this has that classic outdoorsy scent of saddle leather and fresh-cut hay. Works well most of the year, except in summer during the daytime when Rocabar may be a little too heavy. Otherwise, a relatively safe purchase for anyone. Reminds me a bit of Stetson, if it were much classier and had fresher top notes.
This is what imagine a very successful man wearing. it's strong and bold but sweet underneath. extremely good.
Of Hermes' main line of colognes for men (Equipage, Bel Ami and Rocobar), Rocobar is the easiest to like but perhaps the most difficult to love. It's a snap to get one's nose around it, as it is a smooth blend of vanilla, cedar, pine and juniper, of good construction and excellent quality. Equipage and Bel Ami can be a little off-putting at first, for different reasons (Equipage starts off floral with carnation, and Bel Ami begins smoky and rough), but their development is more enticing. Nevertheless, Rocabar is a worthy addition to the line, and an excellent present to those who are less adventurous in their fragrance choices
I started using Vetiver Carven Cologne for Men by Carven in 1957. I was introduced to it by a friend and bought it at Filene's in Boston. I live in Minnesota and have found it hard to get. The last time was at the Mall of America. I even had a friend pick up some in France when they were traveling. It is the best cologne that I have ever used and friends ask me what is that cologne you have on and where can we get it. Keep on importing it. Thank YOU!
