Forevermore

“Richard Rochon Forevermore Review”

Forevermore is a new 2025 release from Richard Rochon, and the idea is clear from the first impression. This is a citrus aromatic built around grapefruit and mandarin, with sage adding a green herbal edge and palo santo bringing the base into drier, woodier territory. On paper, it reads like a clean modern fresh scent with more texture than a simple cologne style citrus.

The opening looks like the main selling point. Grapefruit and mandarin usually give two different kinds of brightness, one brisk and slightly bitter, the other smoother and juicier. That combination suggests a lively start rather than a soft or powdery one. If you enjoy fragrances that feel polished, airy, and direct in the first minutes, Forevermore has the right structure for that taste.

As it develops, the citrus profile seems to be held in place by sage rather than pushed into something floral or sweet. That matters, because it points to a drier aromatic character. Sage can make a scent feel crisp, green, and a little savoury, so the fragrance likely stays clean and brisk instead of turning candied. The additional description also suggests that the citrus does not disappear quickly, which is useful if you want freshness to remain part of the identity throughout the wear.

The palo santo note is what gives Forevermore a bit more personality. In fragrance, palo santo can come across as smoky, woody, slightly resinous, and softly polished. Here it seems to act as the anchor for the drydown, giving the scent more depth without dragging it into heavy amber, leather, or gourmand territory. That should help it feel more composed than a very simple citrus splash, while still keeping the overall mood light enough for easy wear.

In practical terms, Forevermore looks best for daytime use, especially in warm weather or mild conditions where citrus and aromatics tend to feel most natural. It may also work well for office settings if you like your fragrances neat and restrained rather than rich or attention-seeking. The note pyramid does not suggest a plush, cozy, or sweet profile, so people looking for warmth, creaminess, or strong sensual depth may want something else.

The main limitation is the lack of broad wear feedback so far. There is not enough evidence to make firm claims about longevity, projection, or crowd reaction, and that matters for a new fragrance. Still, the structure gives a good idea of its style. Forevermore appears to be for someone who wants a refined citrus aromatic with herbal bite and a dry woody finish, not a sugary freshie and not a dense evening scent. If that balance sounds right, it is an easy sample candidate.
