Description
Hermes Rocabar is a sophisticated and subtly seductive fragrance for men, crafted by Gilles Romey and launched in 1998. The name Rocabar, a contraction of 'rug' and 'a barres' (striped in French), draws inspiration from traditional saffron-colored, red and blue striped horse blankets crafted in Hermes' saddlery workshops. This woody spicy scent features top notes of cedar essence, juniper, coriander, lemon, and bergamot. The heart unravels Italian cypress, cedar, cardamom, carnation, and violet, while the base notes are a rich blend of Canada balsam, benzoin, oakmoss, vanilla, and patchouli. Rocabar is a luxurious and assertive fragrance that never goes out of style, perfect for evening wear. Its most powerful facets are tones of wood, balms, and resins, underscored by full-bodied notes of cypress in its sillage.
