Not a compliment getter, but nice!

I am quite perplexed why L'Oscar isn't talked about more.

When sprayed it, I immediately sensed a bouquet of different notes.
It opens up with mild grapefruit note which in seconds dies down and gracefully stays in the backround. There is a really beautiful labdanum note which gives almost green leathery creaminess ( it is quite hard to explain), I guess the nice sweetness comes from the mayflower and the mild spiciness comes from carnation. The base has very nice woodiness ( from sandalwood, guaiac wood and cedar), which is very well accompanied by the spiciness of the pepper and nutmeg and also complemented by the earthiness and bitterness that comes from the oakmoss and vetiver. And let's not forget the celery seeds, which is an interesting addition that in my opinion, makes this fragrance more memorable.
It is a very well blended ( well duh. It's Roja) and unique smelling fragrance.

I wouldn't call this a "compliment getter", but if you wear this- you will stand out and make an impression.
I would say L'Oscar belongs in the same category as for example: Creed's Royal Oud, in the sense that if you wear a simple t shirt and jeans, the fragrance will wear you and not vice versa. This is as bourgeois, posh as it gets. You have to be at least semi- dressed up to "fit" this fragrance.

I would say this could be worn easily in spring, fall and winter. Summer could work too, if not too hot.
Longevity and sillage is quite good.
I like it.

Aroma Therapy

I associate this scent with the essential oils diffused into the air during massage therapy. It has tranquil aroma-therapy-like qualities. A touch of pungent sour-like citrus freshens the scent, especially in the opening, but it is quickly dominated by cistus (incense-like, resinous), a very warm bouquet of spicy-fresh florals, all of which are anchored by Roja's signature opulent woods. The scent can be described as citrusy, resinous, warm, spicy-fresh floral, smooth, herbal, earthy, and peppery.

Hello Merchant of Venice Dalmatian Sage, is that you?

The headline summarizes my impression after about 20-30 minutes. L'oscar pour Homme was one of the Roja fragrances that really interested me, but unfortunately, I have to speak of disappointment again. This time, not in the form of the scent being bad, but in the form of seriously, is Roja Dove today Dua? L'oscar pour Homme only differs from Dalmatian Sage for 10-15 minutes due to a slightly different top note with grapefruit.

I really can't describe L'oscar pour Homme at all. The fragrance pyramid is not reflected in the scent at all. I smell sage, citrus, vetiver, and a bit of leather (the leather makes a small difference). Unfortunately, I see an 85-90% similarity between L'oscar pour Homme and Dalmatian Sage. L'oscar pour Homme also has the same development as Dalmatian Sage, only the Roja is a bit denser and deeper due to the higher oil content. I simply find it difficult to describe a fragrance that completely deviates from the fragrance pyramid, especially because it makes it harder to recognize individual notes. The fragrance pyramid has always helped me have a kind of red thread when testing a new scent.

I really cannot recommend anyone to buy L'oscar pour Homme, unless someone is looking for a Dalmatian Sage with better performance, but to pay a 5 times higher price per ml for that is of course possible, but I was really taken aback because paying €285 for such a dupe is not okay for me.

The longevity is good at 9 hours, as is typical for Roja, and the sillage is good at about an arm's length. L'oscar pour Homme only becomes close to the skin after just over 8 hours.

I simply cannot give a better rating due to the astonishing similarity.

Every Sinner has a future

The Hotel L'oscar London has been lavishly restored and designed by star interior designer Jaques Garcia. With its opening in May 2018, London gained another boutique hotel, this time with a very close collaboration with Roja Parfums. Thus, fragrance candles from the brand can be found in each of the elaborately designed rooms, which celebrate the opulent style of the Baroque. Everywhere there is velvet, leather, and precious woods. Upon closer inspection, everything reveals itself as a skillful interpretation of Baroque in our time. Modern materials and quality meet overflowing aesthetics that touch all the senses.

"Every Saint has a past, Every Sinner has a future."

The motto, so to speak the theme of the hotel, leaves room for imagination. After all, the building in Holborn was previously used as a church. So it is hardly surprising that the collaboration with Roja resulted in not just one exclusive fragrance, but one for each gender. Which of the two poles is that of the Saint or the Sinner, I gladly leave to you (when the opportunity arises) to decide.

In terms of composition, L'oscar pour homme is clearly a Chypre. The (pink) grapefruit starts citrusy-sour and only minimally fruity. And yet very fresh. It is especially refreshing to not have bergamot presented as the opener. Right from the start, the floral accords announce themselves quite prominently, to say the least, almost a bit "loud." However, after a few minutes, everything organizes itself very skillfully, and it should be said that one should (like) (garden) cloves. They dominate the described burst at the beginning.

The Mayflower (better known as lily of the valley) smooths the somewhat angular clove and, together with the grapefruit, creates a fresh-sour-floral bouquet. After a short time, resinous notes come into play, very subtly. Both galbanum and cistus contribute balsamic, slightly woody-smoky notes. They accentuate the described bouquet and give it depth. Something darker. Really beautiful.

The pepper (from the base) radiates punctually into the composition and repeatedly adds a touch of spice, with a slight sharpness that fits very well with the clove. As the fragrance develops, green-herbaceous notes of moss and vetiver slowly complement the woody base and round off the scent in a masculine direction towards the drydown.

L'oscar pour homme is, for me, a daytime fragrance, like most EDPs from Roja. It fits perfectly for the office or even in the beer garden. It performs well between 6-8 hours and is very easy to dose with the sprayers. It leaves room in the evening to wear another fragrance (depending on mood and occasion).

Despite its masculine tendencies, I would also attribute unisex potential to it if you like herb-floral Chypres. Whether you are a Sinner or a Saint with it, I leave to you. Both are contained in this fragrance.

PS: The fragrance can only be purchased at the hotel itself (in London) or via email ([email protected]) for 245 GBP (+shipping).
