Cola-drinking Diver

He dives into the depths of the Atlantic. It is stormy, causing the water to bubble. He gets thirsty for cola.
The deeper he dives, the more it bubbles. Suddenly, a whale appears from a distance. It comes closer but does him no harm. Shortly after, it swims away a bit but does not disappear until the end of the dive.

Scent impression:
Right from the start, the full blast of cola hits the nose. Welcome to Roja Enigma. But still a bit different. More classic cola and fewer cherry cola associations.
At the very beginning, it is extremely intense and not for someone who cannot handle the full onslaught of impressions. Moreover, there is a sharpness and bubbling in the nose, genius.
After a while, quite a bit of clove and nutmeg comes through for my taste, which is fortunately replaced by the ambergris, making the scent aquatic, salty, and slightly animalic, which I really like. In the drydown, it becomes milder and individual heart notes gradually say goodbye. After several hours (about 4-5 hours), the base stands alone. Here I mainly get oakmoss, which ultimately makes the scent fade beautifully.

Longevity:
There isn't much negative to say about the longevity. Especially since I categorize the scent as an aquatic or freshie. Even though the scent is much more than "just" an aquatic or freshie. It is far too complex and multi-layered for that. It’s not a Megamare, but still has excellent longevity that easily lasts me throughout the day.

Sillage:
The sillage is good. Especially in the first hours, it is even excellent. Even with one spray, it fills an entire room. During the drydown, the sillage also decreases, which is quite alright.

Bottle:
The bottle is fantastically beautiful, like most of Areej's. Even unpacking it is always an experience in itself. You somehow feel the luxury and it makes you happy just to hold the bottle in your hand.

Conclusion:
A very unique scent that definitely isn't for everyone.
Nevertheless, in my opinion, it is one of the most wearable ALDs and definitely worth a try.
