An Angry Gorilla in a Tuxedo, who speaks fluent French instead of making inarticulate cries, said an expert (a connoisseur of fragrance).

It is the third men's fragrance released by ROCHAS PARFUMS.

An unusual blend of aromatic notes, floral notes, and exotic woody notes.

Rochas (1925), one of the oldest and finest perfume houses on planet Earth, created some of the most famous fragrances of all time.

The Indonesian island of Sulawesi (Celebes), whose largest city, MACASSAR, is a prominent port in the region, gave the fragrance its name.

Grey box, its original color, with MACASSAR ROCHAS in black lettering on two lines in the center, on a white-and-burgundy label, with burgundy inner lining.

Beautiful, transparent, heavy glass bottle.

Black cap shaped like a Greek column capital.

The packaging and exceptional glass bottle were designed by French sculptor Serge Mansau.

The heavy, transparent bottle was made by French craftsmen at Pochet du Courval, bearing the HP trademark, a global leader in glass packaging for luxury fragrances.

The product was distributed in Greece by the perfumery HELLENICA COSMETICS S.A. (CHEIMARAS - PARADISOS - AMAROUSIOU), and we sold it exclusively as authorized distributors. 

PERFUMER : Nicolas Mamounas (Nikos Mamounas, a Greek from Egypt, ROCHAS's fragrance design director for two decades), in collaboration with Roger Pellegrino.
