He is a magnificent human being.

I must confess... I'm generally not the biggest fan of Roja Parfums... but Diaghilev to me is a true masterpiece. In spite of the outrageous price point, I may have to get myself a bottle.. some day. Also, Roja himself is fabulous and I absolutely adore his style and demeanor.

I have watched your videos on Roja fragrances with great interest, and enjoyment, even though I'll never be able to afford to buy the fragrances (maybe if I sell the house lol). They are, like many of your videos, quite simply great viewing! (Mas too is a very engaging guest.) But I'm posting this comment because I wanted to suggest (if you're reading this) that you do another video with Roja. He's fascinating and informative, and it's obvious that he was really well disposed towards you, can't help thinking that he would be happy to shoot another video with you. You could discuss not only more of his fragrances but also perfumery in general, and his life/career. And yours too, why not!
