Soapy & powdery doesn't match my preferences.

I'll take the rhubarb and leave the pink diamond bottle for a lady who enjoys it.

Definitely a pink scent for the Pink Panther :-)

Rhubarb is a bit tricky for me.

A bit too powdery. You have to like it.

Sounds very English, less oriental. I’d probably like it.
It’s nice that you don’t categorize all Rojas as strictly good or bad. I’ve noticed that there are many fans and many critics, but few in between.

Eggi37 1 year ago

I rate pretty neutrally :-)
But thanks!

It was quite nice, but it also has more affordable relatives... reminded me of Floris 'white rose' with a bit of saffron.

Translated · Show original

Eggi37 1 year ago

Yes, definitely nice on a lady. But it can be much cheaper.

Yes, with those prices, only the wealthy could wear it every day.

I prefer a different pH value for that.

It's not for us gentlemen.

Seems to have one A too many and the H in the wrong place.

You need to help me out with that.

I always find rhubarb quite original in fragrances.

Translated · Show original

Eggi37 1 year ago

Brings a nice acidity here.

I really liked it because the acidity and soap made it a bit fresher and nicely contrasted with the powder.

Translated · Show original

Eggi37 1 year ago

I think it's well done too, price aside.

I do like the pH level, but it still seems a bit unexciting...

It's nothing really new, but it does what it aims to do well.

Roja is better for men.

Yes, there are definitely cheaper options, but this one is still elegantly crafted.

Yes, another one of those brands that digs deep into the cliché box for "for the ladies," throwing in a bunch of powder, rose, and sweet boring stuff, and then charges a lot for this olfactory wasteland (this annoys me with many brands)....

...is there something from ratiopharm too? :-)
How many more are coming?

Just a little patience is needed still :-)

Also for under 64 :-)

Sounds good... I like rhubarb... 🥰💙

A hint of this breaks up the powdery scent a bit.

I don't feel too girly, but I really like soapy-powdery scents... But this one can't go on the wishlist too...

Translated · Show original

Eggi37 1 year ago

I find the first part nice, but the end might be a bit too powdery.

Indeed, rhubarb can be quite an interesting note. We'll have to see. But it’s probably better suited for a lady. :-)

Translated · Show original

Yes, that's how it's marketed :-)
Rhubarb is rarely well incorporated by perfumers.

Too much of the lady...

Translated · Show original

Eggi37 1 year ago

I think it's well done, but you can probably find it cheaper. 7-7.5.

I don't get any rose-oud; instead, I sense a soapy-fresh rose scent with a lot of powder from violet, iris, almond, musk, and powdery notes. Oud might be better suited for something spicier and darker. The rhubarb acidity is very well done and subtly integrated, like in Midsummer Dream. Quite elegant, especially if the lady likes it soapy and powdery.

Hmm, doesn't sound bad. Except for the rhubarb.

Translated · Show original

Eggi37 1 year ago

That's exactly what gives it that special something. It works well. I'm saying this even though I can rarely stand the note.
