An Angry Gorilla in a Tuxedo, who speaks fluent French instead of uttering inarticulate cries, said a connoisseur (an expert in 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 fragrance 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 regional port, gave the fragrance its name.

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

A 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 craftspeople 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 company HELLENICA COSMETICS S.A. (CHEIMARRAS - PARADEISOS - AMAROUSIOU), and we had exclusive sales rights 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.
