Roja Enigma - My Favourite Fragrance of all Time!

[@Francisah]

I love when perfumers describe their fragrances with stories and mood rather than notes and ingredients.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Absolutely and this what I wanted to learn about. Notes are just small parts of the bigger picture. It's the overall finished blend that is the important part.

[@carlover4239]

Exactly why I love the Margiela Replica line.

[@kob9777]

I am so, so happy he described it. Everyone is telling me it smells like straight out of the bottle fizzy coke. And I don't get that. I get coke mixed with something dark (earth, or wood or ... something). Now I know it is the cognac and tannings from the wood that I am smelling. Which also helped me to understand why if it is supposed to smell like pure coca cola is still considered a winter/fall scent rather than a summer scent. Thank you Fragmental and Roja for clear that up for me. Was scared my nose was playing tricks on me:-)

[@matthewneufer1758]

All creations have a story behind them .

[@FRAGMENTAL]

**The winner of the Enigma atomiser is Jonathan Lister. Well done, I hope you enjoy it!**

[@saadabdullah4245]

With you on this.enigma is one of my favorites of all time too

[@FRAGMENTAL]

@waftingwafting Thanks mate. I find his storytelling quite mesmerising.

[@juliefeathers]

FRAG-MENTAL wondering if you had a winner yet 😬

[@danilopez5658]

Any new winner? 👍

[@uzumbuzu]

Any new winner Chris??

[@jcf4548]

*Bloody hell Chris, this may be the ultimate fragrence review video. You will give alot of people money trouble with this one.*

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Well thanks! Sample first folks!

[@kylemccurdy]

Loved the insight behind the creation of this. Fascinating he bases his fragrances around characters in his mind.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Yes I found the story of the enigmatic man very interesting!

[@DaVincisAlchemyst]

The few times I’ve seen Roja Dove on camera I’ve very much enjoyed listening to his descriptions of fragrance. Such a fervor and passion for it, it’s awesome!! So cool that you were able to interview him, it must have been awe inspiring. Thanks for the vid! I would love to experience Enigma if you don’t mind shipping to the states 😁. Cheers!

[@stayfreshproductions]

So cool! Fantastic review, and how incredible (yet not surprising) that Roja took time out to sit with you and explain the fascinating insight behind this scent. I still haven’t smelled this one! It’s been on my list for ages. Thanks for sharing this moment, Chris.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Justin, Roja is so kind and gracious. Not only that, he is immensely proud of his creations and his company. A real class act.

[@runningscents2532]

That was a real joy! wish more youtubers would interview perfumers.. would love to get me som roja. sound beautiful!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

I'd love to interview more perfumers!

[@dougbrown9048]

This is my favourite too, I never get bored of it. It may not be the biggest compliment getter but it's so interesting

[@TheFragranceApprentice]

10/10 Video, including the man behind it is just fantastic! Roja making Fragrances extremely deep and inquisitive. One of the most interesting interpretations of Fragrance creation I've heard, obviously Roja is a true artist. Thanks so much for this vid Chris!

[@danield.stanisic4744]

I have a good mind to procure a bottle for myself, although I cannot but help feeling overcharged at £375/€450,00 for a mere 50 ml bottle. One more thing: I do have my doubts about Mr Dove being the actual perfumer behind his fragrances; some credit him with being the creative director, which stands to reason, but a master perfumer… neither Sergio Momo of Xerjoff nor Roger Dove strike me as anything of the kind.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks MJ. Shooting this video was just the start of a mind blowing Milan trip. To sit down and talk about my No.1 with it's creator was such a privilege. I will never forget it!

[@ildikofulop3240]

The best thing to hear is when the master speaks about his creation. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@remoschmid6525]

i LOVE the fact that you didn‘t do clickbait and just gave us the interview as a surprise. you‘re a great guy and i really enjoy this channel. cheers from switzerland

[@zoltanmpapp]

It is a joy listening Roja explaining his artistic process, while adding these technical but very accessible notes on the craft of perfumery. After this video I ended up watching a bunch of videos of Roja, and he is fascinating, you just want to hear more and more. I haven't smelled any Roja perfumes before, but I will probably correct this mistake soon.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

He tells a wonderful story

[@tomeis8499]

Such a pleasant surprise to see Roja in one of your videos! You've come a long way Chris, I still remember watching your very first videos. Keep at it champ

[@Le_Trouvere]

I'd absolutely adore the enigma discovery fragrance. Great video, always love to hear Roja's stories behind the scents.

[@jilanihammad]

The greatest fragrance of all time! Love the video, and thanks for making this fragrance even more special for me with that Roja story

[@Rob-ys6ot]

I got hold of a sample of this fantastic scent! Roja's speech made me melt! Something very very special! Utterly awesome!

[@eselecrown]

Hey Chris, thanks for another great video. The inclusion of Roja Dove was truly a surprise. My first time actually hearing him talk about one of his creations. I would love to win this one. Thanks again for sharing.

[@jeromebarnes5779]

This is one of my favorite fragrances ever. Roja you’re the goat

[@jonathanlister173]

I love listening to the clear passion of both Chris, as a wearer and a fan of the fragrance, but also Roger as the creative mind conjuring the imagery behind the scent. You can close your eyes and imagine the scene depicted. You can almost taste the cigars in the air and the liquor in the glass. Yet another fantastic edited piece by Chris. The content just gets better and better. I bore people to death at work telling them about Chris’ pages and reviews! 😂 I’m the fragrance expert in my small world but I always tell them what Chris is saying too!! 👍

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Jonathan I'm thrilled you enjoyed the video👍🏻

[@livemusicalgarve]

What an absolute gentleman, wonderful informative interview, thanks Chris and Roja..

[@BestBrandsPerfume]

I just tried Roja Elysium for the first time a few weeks ago, delicious. They are quite pricey around here in the states.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Yes it's high end luxury and that is reflected in the price. Love Elysium 👍🏻

[@iansamuelson3666]

Wearing it tonight. I love to hear Roja speak about his creations.

[@tysonkiernan4871]

In Australia we do not have one retailer that stocks roja parfums, so i am yet to sample any of his creations. This video has influenced me to get started so i've just ordered a decant of elysium, its the only one i can get my hands on at the moment. Seriously cannot wait to try enigma. Love your work Chris! Keep the quality videos coming!

[@dextercharles5084]

I'm sure this was an absolute joy making this video about your fragrance love. Ive never had the chance to experience Enigma so winning this would be amazing. As always, I appreciate the content. Thx

[@FRAGMENTAL]

This one was very special.

[@franciscobrazao2246]

Finally a deserved video on enigma! Roja is such an amazing person, bring him back if possible with other of his creations!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks. More with Roja coming soon 😉

[@nasenaffe620]

Wow what a fantastic description of a fragrance, I'd love to try enigma.

[@mercedesbenzs600bash]

Buy a 10ml sample,it's not for EVERYONE..

[@kylecslankard2700]

It's clear how passionately you feel about Enigma in this video! That passion has me intensely excited about this fragrance! My favorite video you've done yet!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Well that's a lovely compliment. I think I agree with you on it being my favourite.

[@sumanth13]

Absolutely adore this scent, definitely transports you to someplace else and it is indeed exquisite

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Indeed it does!

[@yas7519]

I subscribed recently and I have to tell you your channel is great. I really enjoy when your family participates. But interviewing such a great creator on your favorite fragrances is just WOAAAA... Thanks for sharing this unbelievable moment!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks for subbing. It was unbelievable to me to!

[@adamdreid]

So fun to get some time with someone as talented as Roja Dove. Lucky you, and thanks for sharing it with us!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

[@BenWalker01]

Great video as always; this one in particular seemed to be a next level in terms of slickness and production 👌🏼 Enigma is added to the never ending list!

[@TheRobertG]

Is this the ultimate Christmas perfume? I just got this today. A blind buy because of this content and the story about the mysterious person. The Enigma. I’m looking out side my window and I can see the lawn is full of snow. This scent gave me a Christmas feeling I haven’t felt in a long time. This perfume was very kind to me

[@jeongwoohyeon9464]

Great one, Chris! Love how Mr Roja interacts so much with the fans that love his creations. He seems like a very charming man who really believe in what he does and how his creations (children; as he mentioned in another interview) touches people in many different ways. Look forward to more videos like this! Kind regards, Chris J Hyeon

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Chris 👍🏻

[@marsym9568]

Really professional review 🌠🌠

[@MFDOOMSMASK]

What an amazing video mate!!! It's one thing listening to a reviewer talk about a fragrance but it's something else listening to the creator talk about the inspiration behind this. Kudos mate. Very insightful

[@Greggieboy76]

This was superb Chris, awesome, awesome video. Couldn't you just listen to Roja talk all day. I'd listen to him reading the phonebook.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Greg. Yes he's a superb storyteller and extremely proud of what he's created.

[@scentmemories1047]

I had a chance to sample Enigma a few days ago at Bergdorf and I absolutely love it. Roja will be there next Saturday and I can’t wait to meet him and speak with him about some of my favorites from his house. Great video mate.

[@pauledmonds4141]

Extremely interesting back story, wonderfully descriptive narrative which conjures up clear imagery. Really enjoying learning about fragrance composition on this channel. Many Thanks.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Well I'm glad you see my channel as an education 👍🏻

[@pauledmonds4141]

As Spock world say “ fascinating ”

[@deanboman]

Great story and atmosphere, I am waiting soo much to smell this one !

[@garyflint5824]

Nailed it with this video Chris ! Roja is to me a genius a gentleman and the Da Vinci of perfumery . So lucky to meet him !

[@FRAGMENTAL]

I agree Gary👍🏻

[@leelogins3982]

Awesome video mate , I have to agree Enigma stand alone fragrance perfectly blended and especially like the way you delivered video without initial revealing Roja. Done very humbly. Excellent work.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Really pleased you liked it Lee, cheers!

[@dejusblog3733]

Yes you did it 😍 because of you to guys I heard of enigma and fell in love instantly!

[@tomclowes5874]

Possibly you're best video yet Chris. Well done for asking for the meetup and full marks for Roja for agreeing. Kudos to you both

[@tomclowes5874]

Although my wife just said her favourite is still that water one you did a few months ago

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Tom. Tell your wife the Roja special effect was a lot more expensive than the water effect 😉

[@matthewarnold8288]

I absolutely love Roja’s passion. My favorite is his Parfum de la Nuit #1 but I’d love to try Enigma! Thanks for offering!

[@michaelmilner2090]

Congrats on getting to meet, interview Roja Dove. I have Dua & Alexandria renditions of Enigma; they have fantastic, realistic, best-I've-smelled cognac notes, rich opulence with just the right amount of sweetness. Great stuff. Roja's Oligarch is the best fresh scent I've smelled. Thanks for posting.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Michael 👍🏻

[@markusuerschels1455]

*Great in-depth review, Chris & a pleasant surprise to hear Roja himself talking about his perfume! Have a chilly sunday!* ☕😁👌

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Markus. It was fascinating listening to Roja talk about Enigma.

[@philippschulte3264]

In terms of video quality, you are definetely one of the most underrated channels out there. Really enjoyed the review.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks so much 🙂

[@tracya2138]

Wow what a treat this video was! Adore your reviews of course but to also hear a maker describe his vision and inspiration! Just wow what a treat! Loved hearing about your fav fragrance!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Tracey. It was a treat for me also!

[@hipper7017]

The way you describe how well blended the scent is and the picture painted by Roja has really peaked my interest. Would love to try this perfume and many others by Roja!

[@chitownedc2137]

OmG....what an incredible one on one with the talented Mr. Roja Dove. It would be an honor to win such a super fragrance like Enigma.

[@andrewthomas3270]

Wow Chris this is the Best Scent Video I have ever seen, is it possible you can make a few more like this please so informative. 😊 Both you and Roja makes me Need to Track this one down. Keep up your Excellent Mate. 😊

[@FRAGMENTAL]

I'll do my best to make more like this👍🏻

[@fatbrad412]

What an incredible video! Meeting Roja Dove must’ve been surreal. I would absolutely love to get my nose on the real deal. The inspirations I’ve smelled have been nice but I’d love to experience the real thing. Amazing video as always!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Yes very surreal at first!

[@brucevanhoose3647]

I enjoyed the video and that you went to the perfumer behind Enigma. Great explanation and story behind the idea, Roger is so animated in his story telling. I love his excitement. Count me in on this one. Thank you for another great video, this is one of my favorites.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Glad you liked it Bruce👍🏻

[@mohamedrabbani6253]

ENIGMA ❤️ thank you so much Chris for introducing me to this fragrance! I’ve watched this videos at least a 100 times to the point that I’ve memorised the entire lines of you and Mr.Dove 😅 I tried the Parfum Cologne and it wasn’t a love at first sniff for me ! But I gave it time and started loving the dry down so much! After a couple months blindbought the PARFUM version because of you ! And now I have 9 backup bottles !! This video is genuine and so is my love for Enigma now !!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Doesn’t sound like you’ll be running out anytime soon!

[@patoloco5617]

Another well done, creative video. Really enjoyed the interview with the Roja. Cheers!

[@aaronwong97]

Appreciate how passionate you are in your reviews!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

I appreciate you watching👍🏻

[@VeeLo28]

The quality of these videos are insane. Great video and great story by the perfumer, it was interesting.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Wow thanks 🙂

[@TheScottap]

Fantastic to hear from the man himself! Great to hear the story behind it.

[@RyzFragz34]

What a great video! So nice to hear Rojas description. I really enjoyed watching😊

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Ryan. Also loved seeing R in your video recently!

[@richardrohloff4876]

What a wonderfully entertaining and insightful video. Enigma is my favorite cold weather fragrance, but I might wear it anyway tomorrow with temps in the 70s.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Richard

[@EverymanFragrances]

Brilliant story telling from Roja and brilliant video making from Chris! Great stuff! 👏🏻

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks bud! I was a very lucky boy getting this opportunity.

[@raphraph7591]

you’re pushing the boundaries of perfume review videos each time with new concepts. great review.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thank you. I love the variety!

[@malcolmtaylor1821]

This video just makes you want to buy a bottle, excellent job Frag-Mental

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Malcolm

[@MP-ej9pw]

Great video and with these designers truly being artists it was wonderful to hear the inspiration and creativity behind this scent.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thank you!

[@hesmellslikerome]

Great video Homeboy.

[@bellesativa]

I wish all fragrance reviews were like this. Great lighting, sound, editing, and focus. Enigma has been on my wishlist for sometime but never quite got around to testing. I think it's the 2 names, Enigma and Creation E that I found confusing. Looking forward to more with Roja Dove. Would love to enter the giveaway, thanks.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Much appreciated, thanks!

[@Ashkarelessar]

Really nice to see the actual perfumer joining in the perfume review. What an authentic review Chris! Great review.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thank you. Enigma is special to me and now even more so.

[@richbeaman]

Wow, what a treat to speak to Mr Roja Dove himself! Would love to sample this fragrance that you consistently talk about as it intrigues me beyond doubt (guess that's the enigma!) Keep up the good work Chris. Great content and a fantastic informative channel. 👍

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Richard. It certainly does have a mysterious and enigmatic quality. I hope you get to try it.

[@justaddlight]

What wonderful imagery from the man himself! Such an extraordinary piece this one. For me, it always conjures up a dark brown leather couch my grandfather used to sit in when enjoying a nice glass of the warm stuff. Surrounded by stained wood and a haze of golden light from an antique lamp nearby, half of his face was in shadow to emphasize the mysteriousness of the whole affair. It's my favourite of Roja's entire line and a stunner to wear to an elegant party. Great video Chris!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Wow your imagery rivals that of Roja's. Lovely stuff.

[@RJ-ld8ns]

That story was so behind the fragrance was so beautiful and interesting, honestly you can see his absolute passion. Count me in!

[@MrHwallach]

Yes I totally agree with you, looking forward to taking this opportunity further and smelling this delightful fragrance.. Really rubs me up the right way and having Roger dove talk about the story behind it makes me feel confident I'd love it even more. cheers

[@FRAGMENTAL]

He certainly has a skillful way of wrapping his words around a scent.

[@MrHwallach]

@@FRAGMENTAL hi yes love the video roga does on where you should be wearing a fragrance in the clavicle and moisturiser worn over the fragrance not before. Cheers frag mental

[@MrHwallach]

Any winner yet Chris..?

[@MrHwallach]

@@FRAGMENTAL any winner yet Chris?

[@oldschoolfunkster1]

I have smelled clones of it and really enjoy the blend. Never smelled the real deal, but I can almost imagine the richness. Unfortunately I will be never able to pay Roja prices, hence the copies. I'd be ecstatic if I won this atomizer with real Enigma. Love the video, by the way. Very informative. Should do more like this. U.S.A.

[@DragonbladerUltimate]

Literally, I have just got this scent - This is a hidden gem and I absolutely love it - it's all me in a bottle.

[@TalknReview]

Awesome video Chris, loved the surprise guest and nice to get that understanding behind the creation. I think sometimes we don’t think that a lot of thought or inspirations happen for these fragrances, so was good to see the passion. Would love to smell it. Solid as always. -Nik

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks as always Nik👍🏻

[@djsilent01]

This video just made me love Enigma even more. I don’t know how, but I will have an actual bottle one day.

[@rajuncajun2818]

Great colonge and one of my favorites. He is quite flamboyant with all the jewelry

[@mogacipriandan]

Super video as always. And the fragrance...had a “micro” decant and can’t get enough. Smells like haven to me. Fantabulous!

[@maciejzajac986]

That's exactly the type of content I am looking for! The backstory makes for a complete picture, not only knowing if ladies like it, not that it's a bad thing ;-). The more I know about this scent, the more I dream about having a chance to try it, especially given that tobacco is my favourite note, comforts me everytime. Waiting for more stuff like that!!!

[@UnknownChap]

I love this stuff! I'll be picking it up later this year but won't really be needing it until autumn at least👌 I own fetish by roja , well actually had 2 of them because i smashed a full bottle.of it so i had to buy it twice 😢 count me in for that discovery 😍 Fantastic to hear from roja himself! To hear from the person who created and inspired it is always better. It seems to lead to a deeper connection and appreciation for the scent itself. Stellar as always 🙏

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Yes I now have that deeper connection which makes it even more special. Smashing a Roja is next level upset 🙈

[@UnknownChap]

@@FRAGMENTAL honestly wanted to crawl into bed and hope it was a bad dream! Trying to find a silver lining , i didn't need air freshener for months😂

[@bradfragz7950]

I love the knowledge you bring to us with these fragrance reviews. I'm just now getting into niche and would love to receive this it has some of my favorite fragrance notes. Anyway hope I am the lucky person that receives this and can't wait for your next video.

[@jazz_bob_90]

Thanks for the very special review that shows how personal our relationship to fragrances can be! I have tried quite a few Roja Doves, but not this one.

[@thephilsweet]

It's great to see and hear from the perfumer behind a fragrance. Not what I was expecting at all, he came across as a really cool guy. And judging by the shirt, not short of self confidence himself 😁. Next level perfume matched with a next level review. 👍

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Much appreciated Phil. Roja is a funny and charming gent. It was a pleasure to be in his company.

[@bradgro2921]

This is one that I've been interested in trying for a long time. I didn't like Pure Havanne as much as I expected due to finding it overly sweet. I realize Roja Dove is at much higher level though and I can't think of anything negative I've ever heard about Enigma. Really awesome that you got to sit down with him to discuss the fragrance. It just shows how far you've already come as a reviewer.

[@scentmonk7324]

Would love to get my nose on Enigma, your passion for this fragrance reminds me of why us fragheads are into fragrances.

[@sixthsunnews872]

Just tried enigma last night. Omg its probably my favorite smell as well! It's truly amazing abd the silage ob this stuff is insane. Love it!

[@jonmichael02302]

Wow... i thought he was superimposed at first... BLOWN AWAY! AMAZING JOB! I have always wanted to try this one.... I've got to get my hands on it after that look on your face after he handed it to you to smell.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Yes that CGI Roja cost me a lot!

[@itskyyuuuu]

Absolute banger, and an amazing video :) Roja is a true gentleman I very much enjoyed that. Thanks for putting in the overtime for us Chris!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

You're welcome. Roja was such a pleasure to be in the company of.

Well, that was pretty captivating! The sourcing of the different materials in perfumery always fascinates me. Roja seems like a nice guy and very approachable.

Very captivating. Roja is wonderful!
