Fashion Man

Fashion Man by Roccobarocco, a 2009 masculine fragrance composed by Maurizio Cerizza, is first of all gourmand, with strong spicy, woody and citrus sides and a hint of green and floral notes. It pairs a bright, Italian-style citrus opening with a dark, chocolatey heart.

Amalfi lemon, lemon and bergamot open crisply, joined by lavender, clary sage and artemisia for an aromatic, herbal freshness. Coriander, caraway and cinnamon bring warm spice. The core is unusual: Mexican chocolate, dark chocolate and coffee give a bittersweet, roasted richness, and vanilla softens it. Cedar, Virginia cedar, patchouli and musk form a dry, woody base.

This is a sweet, spicy masculine scent with a playful edge. Its chocolate and coffee core suits autumn and winter, evenings, nights out and dates, while the citrus and herbs keep it from feeling heavy at the start. It should appeal to men who enjoy gourmand fragrances but want some freshness and spice to balance the sweetness.
