Established in 1996, Rocky's Barbershop became the first barbershop to open in a mall in Davao. Over the years, it has developed to become one of Davao's leading barbershops. Recently, it expanded its business and launched an exclusive line of fragrances for men.
“It’s about the
finer side of Rocky’s,” said Kay Gempesaw, the marketing coordinator of Rocky’s
Barbershop, “The initial product introduced are the Rocky’s signature fragrances.”
“We thought of
developing a fragrance line for Rocky’s Barbershop because we wanted to offer a
more holistic grooming experience to our customers. We wanted them to look good,
feel good and smell good,” shared Kay.
Rocky’s services
have grown to include hair spa treatments and color styling on barbershop menu.
The introduction of the exclusive fragrances will bridge the aesthetics with
the sensation of freshness seamlessly for a total Rocky’s experience.
“For the
fragrance, we wanted a scent that embodies the “Rocky’s man,” someone who is
confident in his masculinity, strong, fearless, open- minded and optimistic.
Based on these characteristics, we developed two scents, 1996 and Adventure.”
To formulate the
two scents, Rocky’s approached Charabot, a French fragrance company.

“As Rocky’s
recently turned 20 last year making the mall-based barbershop chain the oldest
in Mindanao, we have decided to team up with a fragrance house with a heritage similar
to our company. Thus we have decided to work with Charabot, a company that has
withstood the test of time. Founded in 1799, Charabot is the oldest fragrance
house in the world.”
“In addition,
Rocky’s and Charabot are both family owned companies. As such,
Rocky’s decided
that both families collaborate in the development of the exclusive line of
fragrances.”
The signature
fragrance is 1996, a name selected as a tribute to the year the first Rocky’s
branch in Victoria Plaza Mall was opened.
Classic and
traditional is what the 1996 perfume exudes. It is woody, aromatic and musky
with lemon and lavender on the top notes, tarragon and thyme for the middle
notes and patchouli and musk for the base notes.
“The 1996 will
come in two variations—perfume and aftershave. The aftershave will be the
in-house, after grooming splash of Rocky’s.”
Adventure is the
second fragrance and targets the younger, daring and modern “Rocky’s Man.” It
bears a light and fresh citrus, woody marine fragrance with lime and bergamot
for top notes, cedar wood for middle notes and grey amber and musk for base
notes.
“The scent of
Adventure perfectly embodies the young, “ Rocky’s Man”. It is fresh and full of
optimism.”
