Fragrance Through The Decades

[@ExplorerMedia]

This speech is better than BBC’s documentary on the history of perfume. 😂 Amazing!

[@jankucera8505]

BBC has the worst and the most boring perfume documentary of any documentaries witnessed by mankind

[@emmagutierrez1408]

What a rude audience! They have no idea how lucky they are.

[@wilmatitzgreaux5086]

I’m not even half way through and I just want to scream, “SHUT UP!!!!” I felt sorry for Roja!

[@danieljohnson1924]

I like how seriously he takes perfume. His enthusiasm is infectious.

[@robinsonkrusoe164]

I would have died to be there and smell some of these.

[@marialopes9365]

It's a torture not to be able to smell it too 😢

[@egyptianmauworld2433]

Wished Roja done more of these. Love hearing his knowledge

[@AlanHudgins]

What a thoughtful presentation by Roja Dove! It would be fantastic to get to smell all those iconic fragrances from the past. What an insolent audience, however.

[@aarond9563]

Yeah, was hard to watch cuz of the audience. Not gonna lie!

[@mannyvidsnyc]

I started a perfume collection, have always been in love with the art, and emotions of scent, and this has been an incredible speech. As a person who studied classical history in university this speech brought both my love for history and scents together. Thank you

[@Oudlover69]

Roja Dove is such an amazing Person, I could listen to him all the time, the way he talks while being funny at the same time. He‘s something special

[@cortneyperfume_madness480]

Great video! I was scared to death he was going to drop one of those rare fragrances.

[@markkotishion2379]

Met Roja at Guerlain kiosk in Saks 5th in Chevy Chase, Md back in the 90's, had a lot of fun that day, lovely Gent.

[@marialopes9365]

I wish I was there to listen to this precious lecture. Mr. Roja for sure has much more stories about fragances and about his own scents. I hope to encounter more videos from him.❤❤❤❤❤ thank you so much for sharing ! Cheers !

[@gazzabethyname]

What a great presentation. Enjoyed the video thoroughly. When Roja reaches for something in the back I'm like... Ohhhh shit.

[@marialopes9365]

😅😅😅😅😅😅 me too

[@williammackay3321]

Easily one of the most captivating humans on the planet roja you are so inspiring and you made me cry buckets I hope to meet you one day 🙏🫶🏼✔️

[@TheCrystalAnunna]

I was napping and awakened and this was playing! Beautiful.

[@carolcaruso6641]

Lovely stories and history! I own Tabac Blond, Mitsouko, and Chanel No. 5, none of the bottles newer than 30 years old. I treasure them so much but do wear them.

[@2WheelsForever]

This genius is offering so much wealth of knowledge and history and the audience is so poorly educated in showing this gentleman the respect he has earned.

[@ninobach7456]

Starts at 8:55

[@ikechukwuokpala2946]

And this is why Roja is my favourite house and I don’t care the price! Such a wonderful journey through time

[@shallbee.]

Extraordinary presentation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@oeautobody3586]

Engaging and Delightful!

[@susanharris6158]

When Roja said that he hadn’t met the person he could teach… it struck a chord with me. I’ve always believed I would be great at developing perfumes.

[@Dlc299]

I really enjoyed this presentation--super informative--Roja Dove would make a wonderful professor at a university!!

[@TheGoldenBosses]

Excellent presentation, rubbish crowd.

[@KarlovaDesign]

Great video! loved it

[@gregmason2760]

Excellent lecture. Full of information and what an absolutely incredible collection he owns. Id say Mitsouko is the greatest perfume ever made. For the greatest perfumer I’d nominate Edmond Roudnitska.

[@cristinamagurean]

I love Roja and his perfumes!!!! Great video!!!!!

[@iyemblessed2870]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful history. I only wish I was in the audience to experience all the historic scents he shared.

[@user-wu2pg5zh2r]

This was so interesting. It is so amazing to see the beauty and fineness of the bottles. It's easy for people living in modernity to not understand or appreciate the past and discount so much of the skill and abilities of those living back then. People these days are more likely to say those were created by the Tartarian's and from before the mud flood. SMH. Also, I finally know how to use a blotter strip correctly. XD

[@wildflowerapothecary2594]

Loved this and love Rosa....beautiful man. 💗💗💗

[@leomedrano3332]

I noticed he said he has not found an apprentice/heir to his brand/genius. That is sad, I hope someone can take advantage of all his knowledge.

[@katprete2640]

I'm absolutely mesmerized! ✨

[@howardleekilby7390]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@IrishsusieO]

Fantastic! I enjoyed this!!!!!!!

[@gorgeousgeorge3947]

A wonderful and very moving presentation.

[@yaseralqadi2278]

What an energy and passion an loyalty dose Roja had to this field

[@spcooper94]

1:38:00 Roja Dove mentions the classic BRUT. I never thought I would here him talk about this fragrance.

[@whatwouldjudydo_]

The ending and scent memories is so lovely ❤

[@user-se2vv8ez3p]

i just love everything classy and that is you roja dove i also love knowledge which you have giving to me here so thank you aswell as the fragrance community and i love fragrances . so thank you for expanding my knowlege of the history of fragrances roja dove

[@shaun4792]

Wonderful!

[@janmo4848]

What a moving lecture from a well-travelled master of his class. I am moved to tears. Mes salutations Monsieur Dove. @fragrancefoundationuk - Thank you for recording the lecture and making it available to a wider audience on KZbin.

[@afinelita]

Thank you soooo much🙏

[@islandspicehawaii]

Phenomenal.... mahalo

[@margorobison6584]

This was absolutely fascinating and fabulous! The knowledge and history this delightful man imparts is wonderful...

[@DocHoliday444]

Guess I found one of my favorite videos on KZbin with this! Wonderful. Edit: However, the audience really did seem to be somewhat... inconsiderate, which is actually quite baffling.

[@ameyer3408]

Oh my gosh those bottles! He kept his cool very well with his audience.

[@afz3003]

Great presentation however the audience were a bit rude. The man is talking, shut up and listen.

[@liliyasaroma100]

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤

[@noelpaj1399]

❤❤❤ You win my hearth from the 1st breath of Ti amo...and now i am so so delighted to hear and see and feel the pleasure to that voyage du parfum ! Je suis ravie ! 💜💜💜 I wish to meet you in person and tell you about my heaven masterpiece !

[@wilmatitzgreaux5086]

“Hearth?” As in fireplace?🤣

[@scenthack7834]

Good info

[@Rhodares]

Delightful

[@ameyer3408]

What a lovely man!! A real feminist too! Bravo! Going to get some “Goodnight KISS” sniff....

Astonishing

1 hr 27 min so happy Roger mentions SHOCKING by Schiaparelli

[@ex2tt7yaa2vy9dyhvw5u]

I can weirdly still feel british accents in the ambience during the first 3 minutes

[@atticus9845]

I can't believe this video has no views. Y'all need better branding, advertising, and a better image. People would love to watch this. They either don't know what they're missing, or think it isn't interesting at a glance. I wasn't even into fragrance until a year ago, and now, because of Roja Dove, I'd like to make a career of this when I leave the military (originally it was medicine). The history is interesting, and so is the idea behind it. Come on yall.

[@moeaboulkheir]

Agreed (I also got into this stuff pretty recently). Best of luck with your career change!

[@jamesthetford5390]

Fascinating and Envious. Two words to express this presentation. Envious because he paints a picture of better times. Times when society had class and sophistication. And more importantly structure and accountability. Especially regarding men and women and the dynamic between them. There were no social constructs to excuse the poor eating habits and behaviors. Particularly sexual behaviors. This reminds me of growing up with my grandparents who, I was placed under they're custody, as my parents were not able to raise me for multiple reasons. They were from the 50s. We sat down for dinner as a family at 5pm. You ate what was on your plate and moreover you were grateful. You wouldnt dare complain. After all, women and children were to speak when spoken to and only with permission. Respect, integrity, honesty, honor..things i sorely miss in today's clown world of the west. Even his speech is elegant. So well versed and precisely pronounced. A very refreshing video to see. I love the history and way it is beautifully explained. It also reminds me why I love collecting. Fragrances can literally transport you to a different time as well as serve as future doorways for present events soon to become memories. Absolutely beautiful. 👏

This could have been ten times longer and I would have listened without break.

Sir it wasn’t Mumtaz Mahal, the queen was MUMTAZ; and mahal means a monument like that Taj Mahal Anyways GEART LECTURE on history of perfumes!! Thanks, I wish I could smell those samples tho, a whole century depicted in front of you.

God that’s a frustrating audience. Kind of disrespectful when somebody so knowledgeable offers their time.

F*ck Off! You are welcome

[@benfield7631]

Any how…….

[@2WheelsForever]

This audience is infuriating with their childish conduct

[@codysikels4156]

You couldn’t edit out the 6.5 minutes of nothing at the beginning?

[@kangaroonick57]

you couldnt just skip it?

[@codysikels4156]

@@kangaroonick57 I did in sections, after the second time choosing where I thought the intro should have stopped I decided to post about wasted time

[@yasseralshahrani8278]

Arab who discore perfume before 1000 years and music French know the perfume in the 1800

[@user-cz7sb1ow5d]

You are wrong If you think Arabs invented perfumery! Archeological evidence has shown Kingdoms of Indian sub continent ( currently India) had well set up ancient perfumeries as old as 2500 years ago & possibly even older & made perfumes with rose, sandalwood,Jasmine for their Maharajas & Maharanis & the rich elite when Arabs were still living as nomads!😅 I am an archeologist who is introduced in perfumery.
