The Monolith of Happiness
“Rochas Man” needs no introduction, just a reminder for the sleazy noses of the aficionados: it’s the prophetic and hieratic monolith of gourmand haute perfumery, a masterpiece by Maurice Roucel.

This new flanker is - happily - a more intense version of the original - in eau de parfum concentration - with all the naturally consequent goodness of that: More richness, creamier, warmer and with a few small tweeks that make it finer than ever.

It continues to maintain the distinctive character of its kind, discreet and respectful projection - which is so pleasant and seductive -, but with more charm and duration. This release is masterfully balanced: suggestive, long-lasting but at no time excessive, invasive or "noisy".

Just as “Rochas Man” has been one of the fragrances that has given me the most compliments - and results - in my entire life, I already anticipate this release is my new “unicorn” date fragrance (for intimate, very close encounters); this scent of sweet coffee with vanilla, combined with lavender and soft woods, always helps me feel good and happier.

The original is a little fresher and more “airy” than this one - despite its enormous similarity -, so they are not redundant: You can use the OG during the day and apply a few sprays of this one when you leave work and go to the movies with a pretty and loving mate… DYKWIM?

… So feel good, be happy and make people happy too. ;)

The EDT, fixed
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.

Better than the Original
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.

Nicely balanced coffee fragrance with disappointing performance
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.

Close to the original
After more than 20 years, Rochas Man Intense (2002) is back. At least with the color of the fragrance, the bottle and of course the name. For me, the Rochas Man Intense was already a small youth love. I did not have in my collection, but I was already in love with this sample I had of this version. Unfortunately, this Intense version was no longer available when I earned my own money. The original Rochas Man Eau de Toilette wandered nevertheless into my collection, since this is also really good and also very much in this direction goes. The DNA is very similar, the Intense was more delicious and also a bit gourmandig-sweet.
Now it is back at least visually and from the name. Sometimes only marketing, especially since the pyramids can already differ greatly. A bit "renovated" this Intense version was also, but goes more in the direction of Intense than the original.

As a new release, this was clearly overpriced with around 70€ a 100ml. Since I would rather grab the original, since this is always available at fair prices. But even still some months this new Intense is strongly reduced. One gets this around the 30€, where one can access without hesitation. Who finds a slightly sweeter version of Rochas Man tempting will find here.
Unlike the original, the official pyramid is very slimmed down and kept small. Coffee was exchanged for cappuccino which comes across very pleasant-gourmandig. The vanilla makes this cappuccino really nice and sweet. Not sticky-sweet, but just delicious and pleasant. The tart coffee cappuccino note is a great tart contrast to this sweetness, which go great together. Also, that lavender sweetness Rochas Man is known for is very nicely noticeable, especially in the opening. Not slaying, especially since the sillage is not really beastmode either. A subtle woody nuance is also present, but rather in the background. The base is rather subtle with a pleasant sweet-woody cappuccino note.
Performance is so-so, not really Intense. Right not for a Gourmand where you could have gotten out much more. For the price around 30 € but okay and a great option for in between. Sillage is 2-3 hours quite good, then the fragrance weakens significantly.

For fans of coffee gourmands already a great option. Who owns the original Rochas Man does not necessarily need this flanker now. I find him thoroughly pleasant and by the not too strong sillage also versatile.

I wish Id love this, but the vanilla smells so cheap and tacky that I get a headache. I'll give this away for sure.
