How to change fragrances by seasons: a guide to weather and temperature
The same fragrance on a July afternoon and a January evening sounds like two different perfumes. In ...
The year 1980 gave us Macassar Rochas. A masculine fragrance from the chypre family. Its authors — perfumers Roger Pellegrino and Nicolas Mamounas. In eau de toilette — and that's all it takes to fall in love.
The sillage is extremely noticeable — noticeable, but never overwhelming. The longevity is very high — it will be with you all day and well into the evening. France is where this fragrance comes from — and it shows. Macassar Rochas — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The olfactory structure of Macassar unfolds as an expressive line of development, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The signature of Rochas comes through in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette keeps the depth and body this composition needs.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Citrus, Fruit, Green and Wood. The palette also extends to Floral, Whiteflower, Ambery and Leather.
Right at the start you detect grassy-green opening notes: Bergamot, Fruit note, Green Chord and Pine.
When the opening settles you detect Cedar, Clove, Geranium, Jasmine, Patchouli and Vetiver holding a spicy-woody direction.
The internal accord map is driven by these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Musc with each one in a clear role. Additional accords such as Wood, Amber and Leather enrich the profile without taking over. The profile is masculine, which makes the scent profile easier to read. In longevity terms Very high points to a sustained drydown presence.
Overall Macassar holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint.
