Rocabar 100ml Eau de Toilette Spray

THE CREATION Composed by perfumer Gilles Romey in 1998, Rocabar is inspired by the equestrian world. A contraction of the English word ‘rug’ and the French words ‘à barres’ (meaning ‘striped’), its name alludes to the traditional horse blanket in saffron-coloured wool with red and blue stripes manufactured in the Hermès workshops. OLFACTORY NOTES With a woody, amber character, Rocabar eau de toilette for men combines the warm notes of cedar with lively cypress and enveloping, balmy benzoin. THE OBJECT The bottle, inspired by the lanterns of horse-drawn carriages, has a black cap reminiscent of a riding hat. The back label is illustrated with a design by Philippe Dumas, indicating that it belongs to the Parfums-Fondateurs collection. THE PARFUMS-FONDATEURS COLLECTION The Parfums-Fondateurs collection draws inspiration from the house’s heritage. Each THE CREATION encapsulates Hermès’ imaginary world in a name, a fragrance and a colour. Over the years, Hermès has pioneered a bold style of perfumery, resulting from encounters with exceptional perfumers. A contraction of the English word "rug" and the French expression "à barres", meaning striped, this novel for men takes its inspiration from traditional horse blankets made in the Hermès workshops, with blue and red stripes on a saffron background. Created by Gilles Romey in 1998, Rocabar reveals its most powerful facets in tones of wood, balms and resins, underscored by the full-bodied notes of cypress in its sillage.
