׳Dirty׳ Chypre Perfume

There is a lot to say about this legendary perfume.

It is definitely not for everyone, you definitely can't wear it too much.
You have to adapt yourself and your outfit to this perfume, choose the place you wear it to with tweezers.
But definitely, a celebration of royal and 'dirty' Chypre.
Suitable for cold days.
A really high-quality perfume, compared to the Chypré Extraordinaire I personally like the chypre Extraordinaire more but I have both.

Another perfume that really reminds me of Diaghilev is this perfume Freefall - Etruscan Water.

8/10.

Simply A Breathtaking Masterpiece...

*This is a review of the Parfum version of Diaghilev.

Diaghilev opens with an amazing orange-laced luscious rose floral accord with a very slight dirty cumin-like undertone. As the fragrance enters the early heart phase the very full rose remains, now joined by relatively indolic jasmine and slightly powdery iris supporting florals with a minuscule measure of early patchouli driven sweetness before hints of leather and sharp vetiver quash it. The vetiver grows in intensity throughout the dry-down until by the end of the heart phase it is a solid co-star to the rose. During the late dry-down the rose finally dissipates, leaving the sharp vetiver and supporting leather to take control, with a surprising quantity of slightly powdery oakmoss underpinning the base accord. Projection is outstanding, as is longevity at nearly 15 hours on skin.

Let's get this out of the way straight off, Diaghilev is an amazing composition that conjures up visions of deep animalic's like Onda Extrait by Vero Profumo early, then leather-laced vetiver from the base of Puredistance M (another great Roja Dove composition), while infusing the composition with a similar captivating rose to the one used in Lalfeorosa by O'driu. Successfully channeling aspects of those three greats, Diaghilev is as close to a "sure thing" for lovers of those masterpieces as you will find. The bottom line is the approximately $1000 per 100ml Diaghilev in its parfum concentration is a masterpiece through and through, earning a corresponding 4.5+ stars out of 5 and an extremely strong recommendation. The near $10 per ml cost is quite dear, but compositions of this quality are extremely rare, meriting one to at least try to get their nose on a sample to witness near-perfection in a true modern day chypre composition that keeps close ties to the classics.

Is quite interesting that the differences between the original Dighilev composition and the relaunched parfum strenght are, somehow, the same differences between Mitsouko and what is known to have inspired Mitsouko, the legendary Coty Chypre. The Original Diaghilev is more muscular, dry, almost masculine, putting much more emphasis on the moss and on driest citrus and flower aromas. The Parfum, however, is like a classic Mitsouko with a nod to current chypres (it comes to my mind, besides the Amouage one listed on the similarities, Gucci Rush too). It fills the driest sections of the first version with soft peachy tones and sensual flowers that blooms on different moments on skin. The spices also seem to be more intense and dirty, but the scent itself isn't dirty. It's complex, abstract, very sensual but in a refined way. It's not a kind of fragrance that is on trend anymore, but i guess that there is always space for some high quality chypre (too bad that it's so expensive!).

Not for beta males.....

Just as the title suggests, this fragrance is not for beta males. If this is you, stop reading and go pick up Daisy Eau de Toilette or something along those lines. If you get smacked, punked and disrespected on the daily, again, not for you. If you constantly get your cookies taken..... not for you. If when you speak, people stop and listen attentively, you're in the right place! Diaghilev Parfum is, in my opinion, the quintessential fragrance for the alpha male, the leader, the "by any means necessary" type of guy. A timeless, dominating chypre that screams "I'm in charge and everybody knows it." Only to be worn with a suit and tie, Magnanni on your feet and nothing less than a Mercedes-Benz. I love this fragrance!

The Chypre to end all Chypres

Diaghilev by Roja Parfums is the ultimate Chypre, a true masterpiece in the world of fragrances. It’s one of those scents that feels impossible to fully describe because of its extraordinary complexity and unmatched quality. For me, it even eclipses the legendary Mitsouko by Guerlain—an homage that feels as bold as it is well-deserved.

From the moment it opens, Diaghilev presents a beautifully orchestrated blend of freshness and animalic undertones. These notes stay gracefully in the background, perfectly complementing the lush, peachy heart of the fragrance. The result? A luxurious, finely tuned composition that radiates sophistication, taste, and elegance. It’s not just a perfume; it’s a work of art meant for those who see fragrance as something more than just a pleasant aroma.

As for performance, Diaghilev doesn’t just deliver, it dominates. With incredible longevity and a sillage that makes a statement, this is a scent for anyone looking to leave a lasting impression. For lovers of fine perfumery, it’s a must-experience creation that embodies the essence of true luxury and craftsmanship.
