Hermes Rocabar is a lively and warm perfume. The woody conifer note of fir, cedar and cypress followed by warm notes of vanilla and resin remind us of a horseback ride in the forest. The fragrance of Rocabar is built like a tree, starting with a top note of leaves, followed by the woody note of the trunk, and finally by the earthy note of the roots. This is why Rocabar is qualified as "powerful as a tree emerging from the earth and reaching up to the sky." This is an eau de toilette. Rocabar is in the Woody Spicy fragrance group.
Notes of bergamot, lemon, coriander, artemisia, cardamom, violet, orris, carnation, patchouli, benzoin, vanilla, oakmoss.
From scentbound - "Rocabar is still a decent fresh-woody scent with a rooty-resinous dry down that strays away from the modern fragrance cliches. It is an elegant fragrance that speaks of class and sophistication, even though its volume has been turned down to a whisper."
From - basenotes - "The opening has clean cedar/sandalwood notes for a drier, cooler feel mixed with a not-too-sweet vanilla and something a little warm and spicy. That cool vs warm dichotomy is what makes this otherwise pedestrian scent a little more interesting to me."
