the urge to disappear into a haunted glade and become local folklore

Roja Midsummer Dream is the olfactory equivalent of the urge to disappear into a haunted glade and become local folklore or of how your body isn’t a temple, it’s the moss-encrusted altar where primitive rituals once unfolded. But we are a soft, suburban people, and I think this sense of longing is tempered with the fog of nostalgia for something we’ve never possessed –and quite frankly, might not be equipped to handle. So sure, be the cryptids or feral forest witch you wish to see in the world or become one with your inner family of raccoons, but also remember that you don’t actually like the cold very much, and getting your hands dirty isn’t your idea of a good time, and a dark moonless night where the only sound is that of your own frantic breath, and the invisible scurrying of nocturnal creatures would be better spent dreaming indoors under a downy granny quilt. Roja Midsummer Dream is the best of all these worlds– a gentle elven chypre, an ancient amber that hums like skin warmed by forgotten fires, the faint rust of autumnal spice, and the phantom sting of bitter grapefruit in the golden memory of sun-dappled woods. It's like a gentle ghost story of arboreal elegance told under the soft glow of glittering fairy lights, except, unfortunately, the ambient lighting costs four hundred bucks, and the only ghosts you might encounter are the missing funds in your bank account. All this existential exploration, this whispered communion with the primal self, sounds delightful, but I’m afraid I prefer my delights slightly less expensive. These enchantments are best enjoyed in my dreams, where perhaps money grows on moss-covered trees.

A Magical Potion

When I moved to Japan some time ago, I learned through research that wearing strong perfumes could be considered disrespectful in certain settings. To adapt, I chose two fragrances for my 6 months journey Creed Aventus and this one.

There isn’t a more evocative, happy, and nostalgic fragrance that takes me back to some of my best memories: a summer in Tokyo.

It’s like a magic potion. The top notes open with zesty citrus and the bright resinous touch of elemi, giving it a sparkling, spicy uplifting feel. Then, the heart brings in soft florals, orris, with an earthy edge grounded and elegant, like the gardens of Japan. Finally, the base notes of warm, powdery woods and musk wrap you up in a velvety embrace that lingers beautifully.

It’s an earthy, powdery masterpiece, a true Midsummer dream. Shakespeare said it best The course of true love never did run smooth but this fragrance might just be the exception. And if you’re after compliments, this one’s a « panty dropper ».

Ethereal Forest Moss Soap

This one is certainly unique and special, although not quite right for me. It opens with an extremely bright and clear resinous floral citrus that's not sour or juicy at all. Imagine Elysium Eau Intense, except its a Spring edition. It behaves more like a breath of fresh Spring air than your typical citrus juice fragrance. I enjoyed wearing this phase as it felt very uplifting, magical, and calming.

As the mid approaches quickly, it takes on a vintage mossy floral soap quality. Perhaps its the oakmoss note, which I would associate with vintage women's perfume mixed with the bitter white florals that remind me of soap. Unfortunately, this phase of the fragrance smells completely wrong on me. I simply have no desire to smell like great-grandma's soap. As it continues to dry down, it becomes more of a clean and earthy vetiver with bitter soapy undertones. While I can appreciate the quality and creativity of this fragrance, I don't enjoy wearing soapy fragrances or vintage feeling fragrances.

Love at first sniff

A midsummer dream is a calm fresh citrus/vetiver fragrance with a spicy touch of cardamom. Absolutely stunning, i want to wear this everday, but please don’t tell the rest of my collection! Great performance without getting to much or cloying. And do we need to mention the bottle? I don’t think so. 10/10
