Rocabar, you're so wonderful.
"A perfume for the nomad in search of the great outdoors." - J.C. Ellena
[...]
Why I have a special weakness for classics and especially French houses became clear to me again when I discovered the Rocabar EdT from Hermès. This happened a few months ago, when I was in a department store and snooped through the scent shelves...
Scents such as those from the Terre range, the many Hermès gardens, the two Voyage treasures or the sisters of the Merveilles line from this house have been known to me for a long time and I have already been able to get to know most of them.
However, until a while ago I was not familiar with some of the somewhat older classics that originate from this brand. Among them were for example the Equipage EdT, Amazone EdT, Bel Ami EdT or also Calèche Soie de Parfum, just to name a few. All of them are really very special scents, which are definitely worth to have them in your collection (if you are fond of classic scents).
Now when I test several fragrances of a similar genre and from the same house over a longer period of time, I usually choose the one that logically smells most unique to me personally. And in this case it was the Rocabar EdT...
According to my research, the name probably originated from a combination of two different languages. It is derived from the English 'rug' (blanket) on the one hand and from the French 'à barres' (striped) on the other hand.
This is intended as a tribute to the traditional saffron horse cover with blue and red stripes from the Hermès saddlery.
[...]
I think the fragrance itself is just great. The initial aromatic freshness, which becomes so unique for my nose, especially with the juniper note, is a real dream. Expressive, clean, pure, noble and damned interesting is my head note.
This fresh beginning is then transformed into an even more intense heart, in which I perceive further sounds of woods and first spices. I especially smell the cypress, which gives the fragrance an aroma similar to that of spruce wood.
Towards the base, it then develops into a sensual, balsamic-sweet and slightly warm charmer, which, however, retains its earthy-woody touch through the patchouli.
As I would characterize this Rocabar EdT as aromatic-woody and slightly spicy overall, I see it most suitable in autumn or on cooler days in spring. Because of its composition I think it is suitable for every occasion. Whether during the day in everyday life or in the evening when going out, with the fragrance you are always sprayed excellently.
It is a classic through and through, which would like to be worn by men.
You don't need to worry about a weak durability or sillage. At least on my skin I can smell it for a good 6-7h. And it is room filling in the first 3-4h as well, before it retires afterwards.
Conclusion:
When the Revered Sir Ellena says the sentence I quoted at the beginning, there must be something about this fragrance. And for me it is also very special...
From the various classics I mentioned at the beginning, I liked the Rocabar EdT best of all, so it has been in my collection for a while now and is - like all my fragrances - handled with kid gloves
I find Rocabar simply wonderful, as basically all classics from the house of Hermès... Only sometimes you have to make a choice, and mine fell on him...

Many thanks for reading it!
