Mango / Shower / Rhubarb
When I read a book by Jean-Claude Ellena I became curious. He had written about his inspiration. The moment when he reached for a mango in an Egyptian garden and inhaled the delicious scent right after picking it.
And during the day the fragrance comes up with a wonderfully creative green mango. But you only take it in the top note. After that the fragrance remains citric-green and reminds me personally of sherbet powder, followed by a rhubarb note that lasts for a few hours.
Now neither effervescent nor rhubarb is listed in the fragrances, but grapefruit is. N Jean-Claude Ellena writes in another book that as a grapefruit note he likes to combine orange with a synthetic fragrance called Rhubofix. I suppose that's where the rhubarb note comes from.
All in all a creative fresh fragrance, with unfortunately only average shelf life. And not quite as fresh as some cologne, but still more of a summer scent.

Shortly after spraying on, I smell apricot and peach,...

My best mojito ever ;)
The Mojito with its sweet fruity lime and refreshing mint with a little rum has always been my favourite cocktail, although I rarely drink it. That's why I find it all the more wonderful that Roja has succeeded in capturing the characteristic...
