Fetish Roja Parfums 2012 Parfum

So it has come to this, that we are now revealing our fetishes?
Well ha ha ha, that would certainly be interesting, wouldn’t it? However, the fragrance is called Fetish! :D

Fetishes, hmm… Apparently, we pitiable guys have many strange fetishes… Many men start drooling at the sight of a lady's foot, for example (*gag*… by the way, I am NOT talking about myself, but no one here believes me anyway *sigh*), instead of at the sight of other, let’s say, more interesting body parts or so,… which many, especially ladies, find quite amusing :D
Interestingly, this can even be explained scientifically: Because in the brain (of men), the areas for the genitals and those for the feet are said to be very close together, so that there can be sensory overlaps for many. Therefore, it occasionally happens that guys consider women's feet to be the hottest sexual object ever. Who knows how we would behave if something else were in that brain area instead of feet,… nasal hairs for example... then we would probably see guys who are totally into women with nasal hairs sticking out…. Baaaaaah!!!! :DDD

Buuuut:
Maybe Fetish here doesn’t refer to a sexual fetish, but rather something like a fetish in the sense of an idol. So an object that is used for religious or superstitious worship… hmm, well… the feet of you perfumers are probably also worshipped by some guys… uh, and we are back to the other meaning of the word… :D
By the way, Quentin Tarantino is one of the biggest foot fetishists ever, or have you never wondered why there is a close-up of a woman's foot in almost every one of his films?

And now stop laughing, who knows what you ladies are into!! :DD
Let’s quickly move on to the fragrance!

**The Fragrance:**
Even though only bergamot is listed in the top note, you can already smell a lot of other scents right from the start. I would say you can smell a mix of floral notes like jasmine, tuberose, and a bit of sultry ylang-ylang. You can also quickly detect oakmoss, which gives the fragrance a more classic feel. Then it’s patchouli’s turn, which radiates its earthy tone.
The oakmoss becomes noticeably stronger as the fragrance develops, I also smell slight green notes, and a little later, spicier scents. The cinnamon is especially nice and harmonizes wonderfully with the clove. I’m not so sure if I can interpret the castoreum…
In the base, the fragrance initially remains as described above, with a woody note added as a background scent. The fragrance is thus mainly floral-spicy and a bit sweet-earthy. Much later, however, you can smell vetiver the most, as all the other fragrance notes fade away almost completely.

**The Sillage and Longevity:**
The projection is quite good, a few sprays are enough for the fragrance to be well perceived by others, even from a distance. The fragrance is not a knockout, but it remains quite noticeable over a long period.
The longevity is also pretty long, as you can still smell the fragrance deep into the night.

**The Bottle:**
The bottle is rectangular and extremely high-quality, which is likely one of the reasons why Roja fragrances are so expensive. Because everything that looks like gold is real gold plating, even the label applied by hand. Yes, here you can definitely say, “all that glitters is gold!” :D
The cap is handmade and consists of several Swarovski crystals. Due to its massive exterior, it may seem a bit ostentatious to some, but well. It’s not bad. Maybe not the prettiest design-wise, but one of the most high-quality.

Hmm… I don’t find this fragrance worship-worthy despite its name. The scent is not even particularly outstanding, even though it smells quite okay. Sure, all the fragrance ingredients are natural, you don’t smell a trace of synthetics, but it’s just nothing you haven’t already sniffed in other fragrances before. And at significantly better prices.

In my opinion, it’s worth trying, especially if you really like oakmoss and vetiver. Personally, however, the other fragrance notes fade away too quickly for me, so that in the end you almost only smell vetiver.

So, fetish then… by the way, if you had to laugh at foot fetishism, I wonder how you would react if you heard about various even stranger fetishes (and I would love to know how one can even develop such a fetish :D).
Nasophiles, for example, find noses sexually arousing… or there are people who lick something specific for stimulation… no, not what you might be thinking… because the objects to be licked are… eyeballs!! Yes, you heard that right, the eyeball!!! :DD

Eyeballs… I’ll conclude this comment with a quote from the really brilliant police comedy series “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” which Jake Peralta says after he and Captain Holt recover from the contagious disease mumps and are no longer in quarantine:
“Now we can go out and lick eyeballs to our heart's content!”
