Talking all things concentrations and how to apply scent with Roja Dove

[@ChatGDG]

There is a parallel universe in which Roja is the most famous producer of Audiobooks. I literally can listen to him for days.

[@rojadove4680]

😂 thank you! Rx

[@Mr.Brightside8810]

I'm here for the same reason. I could listen to Roja read a phone book. Plus I've learned so much about a passion. Double win

[@bensigl3766]

I'm here for the same reason as well. Came for the fragrances. Stayed for the ASMR. Lol

[@RationallySkeptical]

The producer isn't who reads the audiobook. It's not the author, either. Shockingly, the person who reads the text out loud for audiobooks is....a voice actor. Who knew.

[@kastriotiblood9849]

I can listen to you all day. Such a lovely knowledged person.

Mr Dove, a friend attended one of your workshops some years ago and told me that she had never learned so much in such a short time. I now understand why. You are a superb teacher.

[@rojadove4680]

I am so glad to hear, thank you. Rx

You can always tell when someone truly has a passion for what they do, by the way they express themselves to others. Roja trys to put you in a beautiful moment in time where life is revealed as a scent. Thank you for your passion!

[@redhawkmillenium]

Spray at a distance when trying a fragrance to dissipate the alcohol, and don't bother with coffee beans. Thank you for the tips!

[@franknnoruka8526]

Word......Again, we just heard from the master. Thank for all what you have done for the parfum world exposing us to the exotic beautiful smells from all around the world.Thank you Roja Dove

[@rojadove4680]

Thank you so much! Rx

[@HatovimLeTayis]

Any sales rep in the fragrance industry should study - and then memorize - this great piece of information. I own and love many perfumes created by Sergio Momo, Alessandro Gualtieri, Francis Kurkdjian, Creed and Tom Ford. But your vision, knowledge and artistry are in a world of their own. It’s like you are the sole carrier of this fluid golden magic box - filled with the best insights and olfactory creativity from the past 40 years. Hats off to you, sir!

[@DaniloRod23]

Every single minute of these videos are pure delightful, Roja. Very thankful for the content!

[@rojadove4680]

Thank you so much, Danilo! Hope you are well. Rx

[@thomasa.243]

Hello Roja, thank you for the video. I would say that one reason why people stop smelling after a few fragrances is not only the alcohol but also other aspects play a role. In a shop you typically have a lot of fragrance in the air which blend together and it is hard to distinguish and get the „information“ you want. Another aspect is our brain which is very good at filtering. If you keep smelling the same stuff for a prolonged period our brain will stop processing it as highly as before because a new scent will either mean „danger“ or „something beautiful“ whereas an old scent is already known. (Sorry, this is just me revealing my scientific side 😂) My scent of today is „Roja - Elyssium Parfum Cologne“. Love the scent although I never got into buying a full bottle. 100ML kind of scares me off 😅

[@RationallySkeptical]

I NEED THAT SHIRT! Who makes it? Link? TAKE MY MONEY NOW!😅

[@straden79]

I always sprayed close to the target thinking it would get more of the scent molecules that way, boy i was wrong, thanks alot Roja. Now I am going to go try and spray from far away and see how it goes!

[@andrewlim3284]

do you spray your fragrance far away or very close on skin and clothes?

[@nizyo5807]

Fantastic video! Thanks for the tips on how to apply it properly. I literally spray it on my throat haha. Always wonderful to listen to someone who is so passionate about what he or she does as well. Looking forward to getting my first Roja! Looks like it's going to be Burlington 1819 but we shall see!

[@stayfreshproductions]

This was absolutely wonderful and insightful. It’s good to see you in good health. Question: which fragrance of yours had the pleasure of being your model for this video?

[@LongNguyen-cj7co]

I think it's Roja Haute Luxe 😁

[@rojadove4680]

Thank you, Justin! I hope all is well your side?? It was indeed my own scent, "ROJA", that I was using! Rx

[@stayfreshproductions]

Roja Dove I am well! And that is a very fitting perfume to use! 😁

[@allensmith9879]

This should be 1 of the first videos watched by anyone with a fragrance passion. I learned so much. I wasn’t aware that spraying under the chin and neck area was bad because the alcohol ages thing’s unnaturally. Really a lot of this is common sense when I heard it I was like oh duhhh. Roja is so beautifully well spoken thank you for taking some of your time to educate us and provide some useful tips. Going to be spraying my clavicles rather than my Adam’s apple going forward 👍

[@rojadove4680]

thank you so much for watching! Glad it helped. Rx

[@rvmvadati]

[@YellowBrickFloyd]

[@arlinejernigan]

I have been putting scent in the forbidden triangle, well maybe a little lower, but. that changes now. Thank you for your wisdom.

[@rojadove4680]

Glad to have helped! Rx

[@Hellomodelo]

utter class at its finest.

[@sergemunitz1153]

Hi Roger, it's good to listen to somebody who actually knows the subject they are talking about, rare thing nowadays! :) I would only add that you are basing your guidance here on your own scents that are very high in natural oils: a lot of modern creations have higher % synthetic or isolates added that change the intensity of smell based on %. So it is possible that one EDT will smell longer and stronger than one of your parfums. But then again, who says longer and stronger is better?

[@rappingAK]

The amount of knowledge that i got from this video alone is enormous. Thank you very much!

[@minimalisthealth]

Excellent video. Confident, sophisticated, quietly impassioned but not snobbish. Great knowledge too.

[@disturbed9361]

The legend speaks Himself! Thank you so much.

[@Zakitop10]

"Scent always rises with heat just as everything" that's a clever pun x)

[@justaddlight]

You tell 'em about those coffee beans Roja! 😂 I'm a bit of a coffee connoisseur myself and every time an SA attempts to push those horridly oxidized granules under my nose, I shudder in protest. Thanks to you though, I stopped spraying my neck ages ago. The supraclavicular fossa is definitely the way to go. This was a wonderful video!

[@maximalsakerhet7930]

What do you think about spraying behind the ears?

[@justaddlight]

@@maximalsakerhet7930 Not a fan tbh. I try not to involve the hair or neck. Plus fragrance is essentially an oil that helps other hydrophobics cling during the day, necessitating a thorough daily cleansing. Not the easiest area to reach...and daily hair washing can be pretty rough on the scalp and follicles.

[@maximalsakerhet7930]

@@justaddlight Personally I spray on my neck and behind my ears as well and haven't had any issues. My hair doesn't really get hit that much because I have a buzz cut.

[@RobertLaTuso]

@@justaddlightWhen spraying on the Clavicle area, will you still be able to smell the fragrance from under your clothing (crew neck) or do you need to wear open collared shirts? What spray distance do you use when applying fragrances?

[@justaddlight]

@@RobertLaTuso Spray distance is about 3 inches for every fragrance. I almost always double-tap too. That means I spray twice in the same spot before moving on. That kind of application definitely allows me to smell the fragrance when applied on the clavicle area under clothing, except when wearing heavy winter attire, thick collared sweaters or turtlenecks. A better solution in that case would be to spray the back of the neck right at the hairline (essentially the bottom of the hair), the top of the forearms, or on the top of the wrist where a wristwatch would be. Thus far, barring a few fleeting citrus fragrances, I've found that most perfumes have sufficient projection to penetrate almost any garment at the sleeves and make it to my nose for a good couple of hours. If I get any on the inside of the sleeve (while it's still wet), I'll get gentle wafts for days. Especially while working at my computer. Hope that helps!

[@gazzabethyname]

Wow. Your shirts are amazing. Love this one especially. Learned quite a bit in this video. The smelling of the perfumes alcohol really blew my mind. Did not realise that effect was happening.
