A hint of orange in the opening with lavender and a powdery dark cocoa. Soft gourmand with benzoin and tonka bean in the drydown.

So hard not to resist you
Ah Roja, you and your high-priced fragrances. In hawking you are a king, only to advertise the independence of your fragrances, you do not always succeed (excellent). Yes, it's easy to claim, if not easy to analyze, what makes your fragrances stand out from others in terms of quality. You come across as too embarrassed and turgid, which is not exactly to the advantage of your commercial intentions. Anyway, a lot of things seem...well...somehow strange, if one disregards your partly exaggerated self-dramatization, which you try to fade out* completely. Your well-heeled clientele may not care, of course, and should if in doubt. A rogue, who thinks evil thereby.

Sophistication is certainly as little to deny you as a shrewd eye for value - that has not remained hidden even your biggest critics. And yes, with Amber you have really managed a big hit, far from your mostly overpriced average goods. So you present us here a wonderfully balanced gourmand, only the name might cause irritation. But more about that in another place.

Amber opens first with a clearly in the foreground cocoa note which, so much is to be anticipated, finely resolved can hardly be. At least nothing qualitatively comparable has been presented to me so far. A characteristic aroma consisting of malty, slightly caramel nuances, refined with a not too sweet vanilla: Great!

The base is indeed quite sweet, but initially wins through the lavender and in the later course of the fragrance thanks to the spicy resins, but especially by the increasingly strong patchouli, a rather darker character, which is quite beneficial to the sillage and probably also the last doubters upset, who had already feared at the beginning of a too heavy base. No, here detonates nothing in the candy store of your confidence!

Enveloped by a light sandalwood note unfolds after 4-5 hours, the labdanum along with the benzoin, which gives the gourmand orientation an oriental impact. For some, this phase could certainly have turned out a tad more voluminous to do justice to the name that Roja has prefixed his Extrait.

In the drydown, the resins then gain the upper hand. The benzoin gives the march route and knows how to please: very creamy, warm and delicate - cuddly like a second skin. A dream.

As Heritage Collection (again) available Amber is definitely worth a look and for lovers of cocoa-like fragrance compositions anyway an absolute buy recommendation. I love him!!!

The sillage turns out especially in the (no longer available) extrait version excellent. Since 1-2 sprays are enough, anything beyond that: without guarantee. Durability? Also extraordinary: He fades - depending on humidity and heat - only after 10-14 hrs on my skin.

A masterpiece of Mr. Roja Dove

Olfactory orgasm
You can say that on the headline, can't you? At least that's how it is!;)
The tragedy on the box... there's no scent anymore.
Roja-typically naturally exorbitant in price and because the fragrance is never produced, it gets even worse.
But what a stroke of genius, warm, spicy, gourmandig, always flattering..., I just missed myself, uhh, in love! How cheeky, how beautiful you are?!!

I don't like to break up the individual components, this masterpiece is too ingeniously complex.
I just feel like "Gollum"..., meeeeee a sweetheart!!!!
And even if you looked like that, that scent would rip everything out.
Mr. Roja, thank you very much for this masterpiece and at the same time a curse..., aaaaaaber the best go first.

And I pause for a minute of silence in view of your beauty...
