Gender in fragrance has long been a strictly optional designation, but sometimes it's fun to follow the rules- if just so we can break them. With Rock River Melody, Regime des Fleurs and collaborator Christopher Niquet aim not for gender neutrality, but for an intriguing deconstruction of the traditionally masculine ingredients that make up a classically green spicy wood fragrance.

The result of their labor is a sparklingly crisp and fresh green scent with an immersive depth that, in Niquet's words, evoke "a horseback ride in Fontainebleau forest." The vibrant snap of galbanum with the sweet freshness of tree sap and ivy provide a verdant naturalism to the landscape, while a touch of lush rose and narcissus provides a smooth, romatic counterpart. The spicy wood base boasts the unmistakable royal potency of a classic masculine scent, but a hypnotic amber companion softens the balance, providing a universally alluring signature that lingers for hours. Rich, complex, and unmistakably original, Rock River Melody is a classic masculine, ungendered.

Here's what other people are saying about Rock River Melody...

It's a bit more "spicy" than I was expecting. Ivy, galbanum, and green notes are in there, buried way deep at the bottom. I can't really smell them unless I bring my wrist right to my nose. I think I would have liked this better if it was more green and less powdery. The predominant notes are amber, musk, and sandalwood. I don't get a real rose note, but I would believe it's a very powdery rose. It's a powder done well, doesn't smell like baby powder or talc at all, it reads quietly sophisticated. Eventually, the powder slowly fades, and you're left with a very nice cedar scent. 8/10.

It's a bit more "spicy" than I was expecting. I think it must be the patchouli and sandalwood. If you told me that this had nutmeg or mace in it, I would have believed you. I would say the predominant notes are amber, musk, and sandalwood. Ivy, galbanum, and green notes are in there, but buried way deep at the bottom. I think I would have liked this better if it was more green and less powdery, but this does read quietly sophisticated to me. Over time, the powder slowly fades, and you're left with a very nice cedar scent. It's not too masculine. It's very pleasant. 8/10.
