EXPLORING ROJA DOVE PARFUMS SAMPLE SET

[@earlygreek4594]

Several years ago, might have been a Thursday, I was watching an epic Eugene rant. Thought to myself "hmm...this man needs to get some Roja, take a sniff, smile, and be done with it." Excellent video. And the points made by your guest, if people listen closely, are refreshing to hear. Take care and hope all stay safe and healthy.

[@fragranceasart1737]

Daniel is a great complement to your channel and I’m really enjoying this format. Great depth and analysis. No frills.

[@shq1723]

Yeah I've heard about all the Robertet gossip but the way I see it is that they source the materials for roja and he creates the scents. People forget that perfume is mass produced, it's not as if Roja watches over every single filing of every bottle, even with the exclusives that have 100 bottles or so. For sure they need to mass produce a formula Roja creates and make sure there are enough raw materials to go around. People instantly forget this when criticising Roja and they should really understand how hard making a perfume really is. Roja is awesome at what he does, he uses expensive materials and anyone questioning this or having an opinion otherwise accusing of materials not being good or Roja being fake etc, imo, knows nothing about perfumes or how they are made.

[@tommymilton1193]

FINALLY!!! A review without the list of ingredients next to your camera for you guys to tell us what you're experiencing. Especially ROJA. Awesome review fellas. Your knowledge of the fragrance game really stands out for those that really pay attention to detail.

[@jura_rose]

I own two of his Parfums colognes. Danger and Enigma. They are absolutely beautiful, and excellent quality the juice and the bottles. I got a free 7.5ml discovery atomiser of Parfum de la Nuit 3. It is stunning as well, a masterpiece. But I am not sure I would have the stomach to pay £995 for a bottle. Even at half that price I would be hesitant. But if you have the money and money is no object then it is one heck of a fragrance, wow. Danger does smell similar to Guerlain Heritage. BUT it is better quality and slightly better blended. I think this adds to the performance and smoothness. I can tell which is more expensive, which is better quality. I am a Guerlainophile and I love Roja Parfums. I think he is making some of those Guerlain greats but how they should be, in light of the LMVH takeover and how watered down many Guerlain fragrances have become. Take Mitsouko, Diaghilev is a better Mitsouko, or is it just how the vintage Mitsouko extrait used to be? I think Roja is making the best most luxurious perfumes as he is a Guerlainophile himself. He worked for the company for a long long time and knows more about the company than most of the family, allegedly. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery and Roja is taking inspiration from what Guerlain used to be. He used to wear Mitsouko as his signature scent for years. Until he noticed it had changed and wasn't the same. So he made himself Roja Haute Luxe. I personally wouldn't own a bottle although it's stunning. I think it is so expensive as only 250 bottles are made each year. It's not mass produce so is more exclusive, and hence pricey. I think there is a lot of hate towards Roja, but have these people really smelled the quality or are they prejudging. Fragrance like Chocolate or wine used to be luxury. Guerlain Vetiver was a luxury but now is available for £30 for 100ml. People like mediocrity and more money in their pocket. I know many who will buy 10 fragances that all smell like shower gel for £80 a bottle. That's £800 worth of fragrance that all smell meh and boring. For that they can buy a bottle of Diaghilev. Which is much better, although in lesser amounts. That's my perspective

[@kathrynimhoff344]

Diaghilev is the most stunning fragrance in my large collection. Absolutely agree....a perfected Mitsouko. The price point is too much of a bite from my wallet but I do treat myself to more generous decants from time to time.

[@danielbryan7619]

I have elysium which is great but enigma smells awful in my opinion

[@Perizaddancer]

Yay! Love when you have guests and Daniel is a great one. Thanks for great content

[@stephiehung]

I learned so much about Roja Dove parfums in this video! I don't think I would have watched through someone else's video on the same topic. It was fun seeing the both of you smell these together. :)

[@Saxeh]

Thanks a lot for this video, guys. It's probably the most verbose and articulate descriptions of a variety of Roja's creations in one video. Of all the fragrances you sampled, I only own Creation-E Parfum and have the Parfum Cologne version of Elysium, and they are both fantastic. The rest of them have all piqued my curiosity before, but now I'm almost certain I would love the majority of them. From your reactions, I think that Great Britain is the one that got my attention the most!

[@seunbejide4475]

This video really warmed my heart. Looking back two years ago with my love for Roja dove fragrances. I always hoped you’d try a few and really like them because they are some of the best well crafted perfumes on earth. I’m soo happy watching this today.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

This was great! Thanks guys 👍🏻

[@JONATHAN-db2ry]

Great timing of this video as I've been wading into Roja decants and samples recently... And I've really been taken by everything I've come across.... Stand outs for me have been Fetish... Diagalev... Pierre de Valey 1... Roja by Roja... Musk Aoud... Elysium ... And was gifted a full presentation of Kuwait Aoud Parfum and it's simply stunning.... Roja is on another level... Unapologetic luxury and quality and complexity. Thanks for this Eugene. I would mind another look at some other offerings from the house ✌️

[@kathrynimhoff344]

Another great show. Took out my Roja samples and followed along. Like Daniel, I find the names confusing. Quality all the way. SOTD Danger Parfum Cologne which reads as strong as extrait to me. Perfect for a rather hot Autumn day.

[@lifestylebylorilynn8279]

Love you guys together! Great conversation for the true fragrance lover.

[@seunbejide4475]

Been waiting on this video for months.

[@metalsmithnick8714]

An interesting tale is that his partner was disappointed by the reform of a famous vetiver (guerlain) so Roja made it for him including the oakmoss again ☺

[@angelaboyer6794]

This one also sounds amazing- there are 3 I will fall hard for!!

[@jensmith1291]

I’m glad someone else gets a huge violet note in the opening. Interestingly I get incense less and less the more I smell Haute Luxe. I also a very prominent ambergris note the whole way through, especially the dry down

[@mohamedsow8935]

Another great video! I love Amber Aoud by Roja and I have several other Rojas on my wishlist so your take on these was very informative and useful.

[@stevenweix4330]

I'm glad you reviewed these without knowing the notes / prices... Much more authentic!! I own Diaghilev and Chypre Extraordinaire... Both are show-stoppers and really one-of-a-kind... Worth the price in my opinion. What did you think of Haute Luxe..?? I haven't tried it... Did you know the 100ml is like... Over $3000 usd!?!?

[@aromafromheaven]

Great honest impression,my favourite from roja is sweetie aoud

[@Nicebitoftucka]

I've got (in order of favorite to least) Reckless Creation E PC and Pour Homme Diaghilev Fetish pour homme Oceania Scandal PC Elysium PC "O"

[@eugenet7473]

I own them all and I love them all. I only hope Roja will eventually be sold at Holts or at Saks here, in Toronto.

[@timetomuskup2]

It’s considered a Fougere Elysium. Very modern man Fougere. I love it. One of my best summer scents. Great video. Great guest. Thanks for sharing this video. Oh I remembered that roja said that he still uses real oak moss. He said there’s something in Oak moss that caused it to get banned so he extracts the banned part of oak moss so he can use real oak moss. Roja has a channel and talks about a lot of great things.

[@Alexander_Tronstad]

Yeah, he takes on the cost of removing the allergen from oakmoss to use the real stuff. No wonder his perfumes are expensive. But I think it's great someone does this!

[@timetomuskup2]

Absolutely agree

[@Blog4Justice]

Terrific collaboration; Daniel's insights are very cogent and entertaining.

[@mikev880]

Great video. Wish these were readily available to sample in Canada.

[@litespeed65]

They are best purchased directly from Roja’s UK website- free shipping and free 7.5 ml bottles above 190 BP.

[@bmikesmellz9244]

I bought a bottle of Enigma the winter of 2015 because of all the reviews mentioning a cognac cherry coke aroma. I dowsed myself blind using the controlled sprayer after quickly getting dressed post hot shower and I had to strip down jump back in the shower scrubbing it off for a half hour. I smelled like horse shit and wet hay or smelled as if I slept in piles of equine dung. I gave away the bottle on eBay within a week and a year later I requested a sample from Josie at Osswald’s out of curiosity and sprayed it on dressed before a night out in January and it was magical. I do believe my sense of smell matured over the year but I believe the fragrance needs not to be over sprayed and applied on dry body in cool temperature. Enigma has been one of my favorite winter night fragrances since my second experience. As far as Roja, I have to say his brand is no gimmick and I’m a fan of his work. Always a pleasure to watch and listen to your perfume talk and reviews.

[@kanger80]

Roja Dove is not a clone house, he is more of a craftsman. He is not there to break new ground, instead he is focusing on making ultra refined creations that stand out.

[@jaimydejong3880]

I love Enigma ( creation E )! It is great!

[@cls63amgwagon34]

Daniel may be my favorite recurring guest, other than your wife, she has such great insights! I’ve watched that Hermessence video a ton as I love that collection and love hearing people’s reactions!!! Hope this isn’t creepy!!!

[@litespeed65]

Damn! 10- 7.5ml bottles free, I’ve paid for Haute Luxe and Enigma. I want to buy one of his full size bottles, maybe stretch for Chypre Extraordinaire.

[@bigmisscabbage643]

Would you say A Goodnight Kiss reminds you of any specific vintage fragrances? Got a sample recently and love it but can’t figure out what it’s inspired by…🤔

[@klausmuller4102]

And which one was the favorite for you? And your guest?

[@Francisah]

I'd really like it if you'd talk about Serge Lutens more.

[@mariannepilgaard2524]

Wonderful video! I think you may be referring to Oceania (not Britannia) in the end. Britannia is a lush, rich, powdery fragrance and no aquatic notes.

[@MasterClasster]

Ah yes, you're right. My mistake!

[@nickk8829]

There are two concentrations of most of the pour homme range he got rid of the Eau de Parfums so now it’s pure Parfum or Parfum cologne which are edps that have the freshness of a cologne

[@poobin1]

Great video your pal knows a lot get him back on .... thanks 😊

[@MasterClasster]

Correcting myself, I said Britannia at the end there as an aquatic and I meant Oceania.

[@Alexander_Tronstad]

Hm... did you guys mix up scandal and danger? Descriptions would fit better if they were flipped. Love both those.

[@RichMitch]

Wonder who the perfumer is

[@Gonzalo_K]

The Master Perfumer of the Masters Perfumers

[@nickk8829]

You guys should definitely look up the note pyramids and the descriptions

[@MasterClasster]

I actually just looked them up now after we recorded to see out of curiosity how close we were and I think we got quite a few of the main families/accords, maybe not all the exact notes but it's surprisingly hard to really pick out specific notes on blind sniffs.

[@nickk8829]
