Both are green masculines and they get their green from different places. Kenzo Homme uses sea notes and crushed pine over sandalwood and cedar, so its freshness is coastal and coniferous. L'Homme Rochas builds on blood orange and pineapple up top, then juniper, geranium and basil, finishing on tonka bean, patchouli and moss. Kenzo is the forest one; the Rochas is the fruit-and-herb one, and the sweeter of the two by a clear margin.

The herbs carry it and the fruit does not. Blood orange and pineapple are the first things to thin on hot skin, so the tart, zest-forward opening that defines this in cool air is compressed here. Juniper, geranium and basil hold their sharpness in humidity, which keeps the middle from going soft. Tonka and moss underneath warm up through the afternoon without ever becoming heavy, and a reasonable full-day option, just a shorter-lived one at the top.
