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.
