The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Rocabar by Hermès, launched in 1998 and composed by Gilles Romey, is a woody spicy fragrance that captures the essence of modern elegance. The composition opens with fresh and citrusy notes like lemon and bergamot, which cut through to a heart of juniper and coriander, adding an aromatic freshness. As it settles into its base, cedar, patchouli, and vanilla create a warm and enveloping presence that is both earthy and luxurious.

How to wear it

Apply Rocabar generously to ensure that the fresh top notes marry well with the warm base. The fragrance blooms over time, so it’s best enjoyed throughout the day as it evolves from citrusy freshness to rich woodiness.
