I think and to what ive learned and listened about is that the reason that Rojas fragrances are the success that they are is because they are the closest thing out there in the market to the natural and organic way that perfumes where once created before the guideline and regulations of the reformulation procedure that all fragrance products had to be. They are the closest to the vintage formulas that you can possibly find commercially that is without breaking any guidelines and rules ect. Hope this helps😀😀😀😀
Thank you for this honest review! It's wild to me when I see so many fragrance reviewers covering Roja and not talking about how similar the perfumes are to classic fragrances (let's be real, they're often outright copies). Coupled with the astronomical price, this brand is depressingly cynical. Videos like these are why I value your channel so much - I know you will speak your mind and be genuine. ❤️
I’ve read that many people feel like Roja fragrances are basically his version of other fragrances dressed up in fancy bottles...so when you kept saying “I’ve smelled this before” I was thinking, yes you probably have lol. I’m wearing a perfume with peach in it today...not a Roja, so no need to cut a bitch 😂
They have one called Risqué. I bought the dupe from Perfume Parlour and it's exactly the same but three times stronger and probably fifty times cheaper. Ridiculous.
Roja worked for guerlain and actually rose to the highest level anyone who is a non guerlain by birth rose to before the sale to LVMH. My favorite fragrence of all time is guerlain heritage the vintage edt and roja danger pour smells just like it with some interesting castoereum and ambergris. Also my favorite Roja is Diaghilev which is his take on mitsouko. I know all of this and still bought those two i also like his vetiver. If you dont know perfume history and smell danger pour but never smelled heritage or if you have never smelled mutsouko and smell Diaghilev you will pull your wallet out of your pants so fast your head will spin. That being said i dont recommend Rojas to someone new to fragrence. Roja is for the guy or girl who has been into fragrences for a decade and they want to experience rojas take on the classics. I mean how do you improve the greatest fragrences of all time?! Well vintage mitsouko is much different than what they are issuing today. Does Diaghilev smell like vintage mitsouko? Yes and no. But it harkens back to a time before ifra and before the rise of the million and one flankers and rise of ambrone and ambromine. It is interesting if you like to wear fragrence and get into deep intellectual mode and break a fragrence down. ROJA parfums is fun to do that sometimes. Is it worth 500 dollars for 50 ml or 1200 bucks for 100 ml of Diaghilev? Probably not. Even with the highest quality materials in the world he could sell them for a 5th of the price and make money. BUT i dont think the public would be as smitten with Roja if the price wasnt so in the stratesphere. If you think his creations are rips offs for example fetish pour homme smells like bel ami (sort of) and you ferl he is a rip off and want to spend 300 bucks for true niche perfumerie buy a bortnikoff or papillon or tauer or amouage. But if you like the classics and dont want to go on vintage hunts and youncan spend a G without batting an eye there are some Rojas you might like. And the caps are pretty like you pointed out lol -Ramsey
I attended a Mitsouko event a few weeks ago. While I was in the fragrance department of Saks I smelled Diaghilev for the first time. A very weak pale interpretation of Mitsouko in my opinion. The Guerlain people thought the same thing 😉 PS the Guerlain brand ambassador was there with a rare bottle of vintage Mitsouko and sprayed some for me to smell …. Trust me when I tell you …. Diaghilev can’t hold a candle to the vintage formulation of Mitsouko NOR to the current formulation for that matter.
@@Daunou777 i have both vintage mitsouko from the 70s or early 80s albeit its the EDC they dont make anymore & the current edp and about 30 ml of a 100 ml left from my Diaghilev bottle & i find Diaghilev quite interesting. Rojas skill in my mind is his ability to hide the "Naughty" notes just out of reach enough for the concious mind to not instantly reject it but in the background enough to keep wanting more. Diaghilev smells like a "dirty" mitsouko to me. Although our society has become more "dirty" as the years have gone on so it makes sense. If it matters to you i think mitsouko is the greatest chypre ever created end stop. But i still find Diaghilev facinating. If you love Mitsouko & all you did was smell Diaghilev at saks get one of Rojas 7.5 ml discovery atomizers and spend a few weeks to a month with it. I have found most chypre lovers will end up buying a full bottle after that with in a year if they spend time with it. It is really one of my favorite fragrences of all time. But i still dont think its as good as mitsouko 😉 ‐Ramsey
@@RamseytheRam perhaps I shall try your suggestion. Question from whom do you buy your vintage Mitsoukos ? I’m so hesitant with vintages frags. Have a lovely evening
I almost cried when I saw the intro of you removing the Roja Jewel from the cap. As much as I don’t like the bling, it’s how Roja intended his bottle. Amber Aoud, A Goodnight Kiss is beautiful and a splurge, Scandal for woman is a beautiful interpretation of the classic white florals. Rojas’s talent to me is in taking the classics and mastering them into the modern world with high quality ingredients. He’s also excellent at the interpretation of an idea like his middle eastern country series, dighlev, and a good night’s kiss which to me is a woman wearing fur, with her hair and makeup done and a hit of a French scent like Apres L’Ondee or another violet based Guerlain.
I currently have 51 pour femme, ( half price Harrods sale last yr). It reminds me of a much weaker Micallef Ylang in Gold. Your wall decoration always reminds me of Ylang in Gold bottle, with gems.
I have a few Rojas and I love all of them, Enigma Pour Femme, 51, Scanda, Ahmla, Elixir and Danger. I also have a couple travel sizes Enigma Aoud and Midsummer Dream. Out of all of them my favorite is Midsummer dream, it’s gorgeous on my skin, It lasts over 12 hours and more than a week on my clothes, I get whiffs of it throughout the day and night. It’ll be my next purchase. And although you’ve considered it masculine, I believe it’s unisex. I love your honesty and unbiased review. Great video!
@@delinaspritt4222 btw 51 edp is a scent that do not project a lot, it’s not invasive, it’s an intimate fragrance but I know I’m wearing it. Great for working in office or hospitals.
Great video and reviews, Thomas!!! (I'll admit I was nervous when you were attempting to dissect that perfume cap with what appeared to be a steak knife!🤣)
Great to see you hack at the Golden Goose with the usual sense of fun and insight. Blown away by the lack of inspiration in RD perfumes. Let us know how you get on with that gaudy lid. Ha!
That Elixir is the Essence concentration. It also comes in Parfum version. I have both. The Perfume version is a more steady state evaporation and lasts longer. The Essence version evaporates rapidly, giving excellent projection, but quickly vanishes (its also more affordable).
I tried Scandal recently - I thought it was pretty, but I thought it smelt kinda like it could be a perfume/soap/lotion gift set from M&S that I'd buy the mother in law.
Hi Thomas. Another GREAT review. Was waiting for you to mention Diaghilev by Roger Bird 😉. And how you stack it up against Mitsouko. Great comparison of one of his copies to your beloved Samara. Guess his 20 years with a Guerlain left it’s mark on him. 😉
I have a vast Roja collection. I absolutely LOVE his creations. The caps are made with Swarovski crystals. Th eEnigma Aoud is actually a cross between the Homme Enigma (extremely popular) and his Aoud.
This review had me laughing ... if guys went through menopause... hmmm... but you’re too young .... but this did have that vibe🤣🤣🤣! You just weren’t having it from the start! The knife to the gorgeous bottle did make me gasp whilst making my lunchy, Thomas! I love your channel and all of your moods! I’m here for it! Big love from Big D🥰😘😘😘
Though I absolutely adore Roja Dove as a person and could listen to his wisdom, knowledge & slightly naughty humor for hours, I have to admit that ALL his fragrances I tried left me underwhelmed and (regarding the price point) disappointed. All those I have tried reminded me of much less expensive perfumes that I have already smelled before.
God i love how you put them on the spot 🤣🤣your facial expressions are something else. And i love that Seriously why would they charge that much money!!!
Curious, is the set the essence line? Could be the purple bottles? I agree with you, the Danger perfume is the best of the bunch (IMO). Haven't tried risque - unfortunately, that was the one my local NM didn't have. Great Great video!
@@ouch110 They are similar - however, I think the original versions are better (at least the few that I have tried). 51 essence is much softer than 51 parfum, I prefer parfum version (even though it's not that unique). I have yet to try the original Danger parfum. I do love Enigma Aoud (so beautiful). :)
Tom!!! Thank you for reviewing this house! The pricetag alone makes me avoid them, I know they are considered the most luxurious in the world but they cost so much and that is a no for me.
No doubt about that. His Diaghilev inspire by Serge Diaghilev who adored MITSOUKO - IS MITSOUKO!!!! Believe me, Guerlain agrees he copied Mitsouko. Although, there will never be anything like Mitsouko.
Not the greatest or fairest selection I'm afraid, too mainstream. Try Enigma pour Homme Parfum, Chypre Extraordinaire, Diaghilev, Madison, Haute Luxe, Sultanate of Oman, Amber Aoud, etc...
I tried enigma pour homme in selfridges. It was boring :( I also tried the one I see popping up on just about every fragrance group which is Elysium homme and about 6 others in Harrods a while back. I just think they are not for me. We all like different things ! :)
🤣🤣🤣🤣 you are just about the most hilarious perfume reviewer out there..loved "I'm going to cut a bitch". Nope, not interested in paying hundreds of dollars for meh. If he's going for classic at those exorbitant prices then his perfumes would have to smell every bit as good, or better, than my favourite Chanel Les Exclusifs and doesn't sound like they come close!
“Does he love ylang ylang? Does every woman’s fragrance have to have ylang ylang in it?” thank you for saying that since I really don’t like ylang ylang unless it is an Incredibly Subtle player in a fragrance. Not a fan of it generally.
I found this video great and also quite amusing; tongue in cheek? That first bottle looked empty and digging the "jewel" out with a knife was hilarious, though i did cringe thinking you would stab yourself. Years ago on a scent split group I got a decent decant of Diaghilev and being an absolute lover of vintage chypre perfumes this had me, except the price. Never. I enjoy watching your videos and I am a newer subscriber!
O my you did tend to be a little harsh with your views. Rojas fragrances are considered to be the finest in the world and most coveted in the super luxury market. However I will probably never know. I will see out the rest of my day's without ever sniffing let alone purchasing. So sad really for me that is. 😀🤣🤣🤣😀
They definitely don’t smell like the finest in the world if I can spray 10 sprays of one and not smell it after an hour, they also feel like copies of things on the market (samsara) yes they are considered luxury but luxury doesn’t mean they are well, constructed or made of expensive materials. I’ve smelled MUCH better and richer and complex things that are not half the price and don’t have the luxury price tag.
Alexander de Markoff used to have a fragrance named, Enigma. My Mother wore it. I thought it was awful. I don’t care for the names of these perfumes. Scandal, reckless, enigma, maybe he has no personality or thinks other people don’t.
triggering the Roja heads from the start knifing the cap! hahaha, you lil devil "if i see peach i'm gonna cut a bitch!" HAHAHA seriously tho, there are some gems i've discovered. mostly the more middle eastern leaning fragrances (Kingdom of Bahrain, etc) But Diaghilev (a fruity Chypre) is my favorite (way too expensive tho)
Kingdom of Bahrain was amazing. I purchased for special gift for Brother. The price as was being discontinued was so good. £425 slashed to £125. He loved it.
Because I’ve only had negative and underwhelming experiences in the past so, this video was my last ditch attempt to try and find something worth getting invested in. My favourite and the one that smelled the best quality Is a copy of a guerlain perfume… go figure 🤔
I quite like the odd negative reviews, shows honesty & not just saying they love everything. So many YT say oh it's my fav to everything not to offend people.

I was curious too, so I looked it up: Roja Amber Aoud in the 100 ml bottle (couldn't find the Enigma one) is 595 pounds at Harrod's.
Okay!
Enigma is my favourite, the first few times I tried it on paper, I couldn't smell it. I wore it for the day and about 2hrs in, she really bloomed
I had Enigma EDP for a couple of years, barely used it, kinda liked it, poor performance. Sold it recently. Happy to hear it was a meh for you too!
Great UK fragrance house to look at if you like something different is Rook. Extremely well crafted in my opinion and not crazy expensive
“it smells like harrod’s” “meh” LOL…. ur❤️
That was too funny “it smells like Harrods” 🤣😂😅
I have a vast Roja collection. I absolutely LOVE his creations. The caps are made with Swarovski crystals. Th eEnigma Aoud is actually a cross between the Homme Enigma (extremely popular) and his Aoud.
Uranium! That was brilliant. Lovely review, man. BTW, did you manage to get the crystal out?
Sadly no

Could you please review the AOUD line? big fan here :D Amber Aoud, Musk Aoud, Aoud
Enigma Aoud in the 100ml is $595 GBP. Ouch indeed. I love some of them though in spite of the high price point. Try Amber Aoud it's divine.

51 is for the address of Roja's flagship store.

Did you ever get that jewel off that cap? Curious if it was a sticker, glass, or plastic?
Is the Avon Perfume called "Tahitian Holiday"? 👀😂
Mayyyybe?? It was a turquoise bottle
Yessss I just googled it!
I wonder if A Midsummer Dream is an allusion to Mallarmé's Afternoon of a faun.
I’m fine with less expensive brands having the one label on the front, but with the super pricey ones, I feel like you do.
It looks like the label has one of those plastic protective films on it.

In before the duck. Roger Bird is his favorite perfumer.
I wonder If Roja was inspired by his time at Guerlain, he worked there for 20 years before launching his own brand…..
No doubt about that. His Diaghilev inspire by Serge Diaghilev who adored MITSOUKO - IS MITSOUKO!!!! Believe me, Guerlain agrees he copied Mitsouko. Although, there will never be anything like Mitsouko.
@@Daunou777 Absolutely agree. A carbon copy of Mitsouko and absurdly overpriced.
It’s obvious that he holds resentments against Roja disguise is fake is the first perfume bottle that he sprayed that didn’t have anything in it
You need to peel the bubbly bit off the plaque! :) None have WOWed me so far. Midsummer reminds me of Terre D'Hermes
Currently Roja is my no. 1 frag house
Awww, poor Floris. I didn't vote for them either. 🤣
Not the greatest or fairest selection I'm afraid, too mainstream.

You really need to test Roja's on skin. The smell very different on skin than on paper. They bloom and acquire another dimension on skin.
I tried elixir on my skin and it vanished :( also the midsummer one… didn’t go anywhere after the video. But I like danger and risqué!
