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

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

The product is dark golden in color and differs slightly from the first edition: it has less leather (birch tar) and more patchouli and musk.

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.

Black box, with MACASSAR ROCHAS on two lines in the center, in white and burgundy, with a burgundy inner protective insert.

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 artisans 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 SA (CHEIMARRAS - PARADEISOS - AMAROUSIOU), and we had exclusive sales rights as authorized distributors. 

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