Roja Dove creates a Fragrance Foundation UK Fragrance!!

Roja created a fragrance just for The Fragrance Foundation UK.... watch the Master Perfumer at work!

[@stayfreshproductions]

This was incredible.

[@KingdomPerfumes]

Yeah I’m just now finding this. Truly enjoying it

[@sjk4823]

Absolutely incredible! I have never been more involved and focused on a video in my entire life. I could watch him work all day. And I’m dying to know what this smelt like.

[@user-SmashHit1234perfect]

Me too bro it was very nice

[@mr.v6088]

Good Job ❣️👍😍❤️❤️❤️

[@pullingthestrings5233]

Not you again

[@youngandrew66]

This is the most helpful lesson I've viewed. He's actually starting from a large amount of alcohol and adding just a few drops. So far in my attempts at hobby perfumery I've been told you mix the formula first. This is a much better approach (albeit more costly on the alcohol front) as I've noticed that smaller amounts of material can smell more like themselves than dense concentrates - a bit like standing too close to the canvas while painting if that makes sense. I shall try this

[@Alph92]

yes, mixing them on an alcohol base is absolutely necessary. as you mentioned concentrates smell nothing like he stuff they are made from so junding your formula without it being in alcohol can be next to impossible. especially when you are looking for that last finishing touch.

[@Grautonparfums]

You are plain and simple wrong. This is NOT how a professional perfumer does his work. And i am sorry to be the bringer of this news, but Roja Dove is not a perfumer. No perfumer on this world would create a perfume by "adding drops" to alcohol. You write down a formula, that you made up by yourself and then you measure everything by weight and not by drops. It boggles my mind that people really think that this is how you create a perfume.

[@solomonobidiegwu3019]

@@Grautonparfums from what information I've gathered prior to watching this video just right now... yes, you are very much correct sir/madam. But may I ask why he may be doing it this way? And if he creates the perfumes for his line this way as well? Because I also found it kind of strange to see him doing it this way too. thanks in advance 🤙🤙

[@Grautonparfums]

@@solomonobidiegwu3019 why he is doing it this way? To look fancy and distinguish himself.

[@solomonobidiegwu3019]

Der Oudist lmao so I guess a better way to rephrase my question would be: if this is the method in which he uses to make his perfumes, and (according to yourself) this method is completely incorrect, then why is his brand so highly esteemed and why do his creations so great? I would assume that if this was an incorrect way to mix perfumes the composition would smell terrible.

[@daniellabuda7744]

I believe, that the raw materials, which Roja Dove uses own exceptional quality and many of them are one of the most expensive in the world. I think, that this, what he did here is just a prototype based on very expensive naturals which help to create Roja's vision of a perfume, the whole construction process is only about to start. I mean, that the aroma-chemicals' support of these thick and luxurious naturals will be indispensable to create something very complex and well rounded. I think, that whole the process will be provided in Roja's labs and very accurate calculations will be done as well. I am pretty sure, that the whole construction process of these marvels is way more complex. An absolute master, a very experienced chemist. I love this vid. If you think, that a perfume construction is that simple, you are very wrong. This was just a relaxed interview.

[@ginosanchez7]

The calmness and wisdom in his voice, the serenity from the background music -- I could watch Roja do this for an hour! I love him and his fragrances

[@BenNCM]

I'm loving Roja's generous spirit in all of his wonderful videos. He really wants people to learn.

[@ahmedelbahja6301]

A true master at work. I have nothing but admiration for this fine gentleman.

[@exitplan2]

As a musician, this reminds me of how we mix albums.

[@ethanzkiperfumecollection]

first time in my life to witness a perfumer made a new perfume just like a painter finishes it's art just wow * and it's not just a perfumer it's ROJA

[@DisbyComics]

A teacher also shows the apprentice how, to be competitive and savvy in the business of the craft; which is done subtly; Representing this Foundation, he chooses the most concise words and teaches easily doing so. I appreciate his use of vocabulary and the fun of his fragrance pinwheel. (Mine looks like an octopus, though it works.). I would like to see this man influence the design his bottle and packaging. Cheers!

[@saskar2948]

This is the most helpful lesson I’ve ever viewed thank you so much sir.

[@DIO_SCENTI]

Roja is the definition of FABULOUS! What a master. Very thankful for these videos!

I really wish i got into this when i was a teenager. What a fantastic career

[@Saphir8]

It is such a privilege to see the grandmaster at work. thank you soo much for allowing us to watch.

[@vernontaxwell]

Agreed

[@ramakrishnamitta7024]

🤣🤣 Roger Bird aka Roja Dove is not a trained master perfumer. He worked as marketing professional for Guerlain. He uses ghost perfumers to create his perfumes.

[@Saphir8]

Still love his creations.. and what is in a title.. "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet"@@ramakrishnamitta7024

[@erich1394]

Amateur flavor chemist here - I appreciate the insight you offered with every ingredient. Learning those fragrance connections is as much a social skill as it is a technical one. The idea that the depth of flavor in raw patchouli would express the concept of "history" really goes to show how synesthetic our olfactory sense is... and how close it lives to memory, both physically in the brain and psychologically in how we process it.

[@ohboy5999]

Incredible, i love people with passion and expertise in their craft, he's a master of his, bravo 👏

he seems like an awesome teacher

Good job Mr. Roja , you look great

Hia 😍😘🤗 Amazing video

[@victoriagrant3652]

Brilliant! With the scents you created, just from watching you it seems like a lite whimsical scent. I would love to smell it! 😌

[@mickeyconnor830]

With that much labdanum, cedar, and an (I think I read) amber base? It's probably not as light as you'd imagine, if you haven't yet gotten your nose on some of these ACs. Labdanum is almost sickly deep and anamalic on its own.

[@MultiSciGeek]

Isn't it problematic/biased to use the same tester paper over and over again? Shouldn't he use a new strip each time he adds an ingredient?

[@laurenbray8314]

Honestly he's probably so used to making perfume that he can get away with using the same strip and not mess up. Idk, maybe it doesn't matter when the strip is being used in all the same materials over and over again. It might not make a difference. All that's happening is adding more and more materials to the beaker and redipping the paper.

[@ThisisFerrariKhan]

I’m pretty sure he stated he used the same strip so he can see what it smells like altogether in unison on paper versus mixed in the alcohol.

[@stujii3986]

You would use a different strip so you can compare the change.This is good when you’re learning and trying to understand how the raw materials interact and work together. However when you already know these things and also know you’re not happy with the blend at that stage then it doesn’t matter. That’s where the experience kicks in

[@annunaki7753]

Now the real question is were those oils prediluted??

Thank you, Roja for a great presentation. One question....at about 4:00, did you describe your starting alcohol grade correctly as being 100 proof (50% ABV)? That means you started with a 50:50 mixture of ethyl alcohol/water, right? Or did you actually use pure ethyl alcohol (200 proof)? Again, thank you so much for a wonderful presentation!
