Rocco White for Men

Rocco White for Men by the Italian brand Roccobarocco, released in 2014, is a peppery citrus for men with a warm amber base. Spicy is the word everyone uses; about two thirds also call it citrusy, and a third find it woody, floral or amber-like.

Orange and sweet orange open it with a juicy, sunny sweetness, less sharp than lemon. Pepper and white pepper add a dry, tingling heat straight away, and nutmeg a rounder, slightly woody spice. Jasmine sits in the heart, a soft white-floral warmth that smooths the pepper without making the scent feminine. The base is simple and warm: cedar for a dry, clean wood and amber for a resinous glow that lingers.

It wears as an approachable spiced citrus that suits spring and autumn, daytime and casual evenings alike. It suits someone who likes orange-led openings with pepper for bite and wants a masculine fragrance with a warm, uncomplicated dry-down rather than a sweet or heavy one.
