EDP vs perfume / Are you worth it? / Need you + honest opinion
Hello everyone,

today I would like to TALK about the Apex Eau de Parfum and the Apex Parfum in direct comparison.

And don't be silly^^, I had both as a sample towards the end of October (2023) and the differences are subtle but noticeable.

Comparison + what do I mean by that?

Purely in terms of the fragrance structure, the development, as in each stage, it is very similar. Nevertheless, the Apex Parfum has small but subtle (!) differences.

It is denser, develops more slowly (relatively normal with a high concentration) and the H/S is noticeably better - much better, to be honest. You notice the development better and you have the feeling that you can smell certain notes in the Apex Parfum and since you smell it longer + more effectively/ better, it also comes out better.

If you are interested, the link to the review is here - https://www.parfumo.de/Parfums/Roja_Parfums/apex-parfum/rezensionen/319867 .

What do I find better about the EDP than the more expensive perfume...?

Honestly...nothing....!

It's lighter, brighter, fruitier, a little friendlier/more pleasant to wear, but... ! Due to its relatively modest performance, you won't have fun with it for long. And I'll be honest, if I spend 200€ to 300€ which is really "GOOD MONEY", then I also expect certain performance..., but what I get here are 3h to 4h of fun and then have "close to the skin scent".

I know Roja has decent prices and co. in the end, everyone should decide for themselves whether the fragrance is worth it or not. I wouldn't spend it... BECAUSE there is a fragrance that has a small - subtle similarity in the development (in the drydown). And it is the Sauvage Elixir, I am not a friend of the fragrance, not a friend of the line (really bad for me).

What I want to say is that as a designer he usually costs about 4x less and lives 4x to 5x longer and in my opinion this is one of his problems and the fact that there is the Apex Parfum which is better in every area except price...

To whom and when do I recommend it?

Apart from the price thing. It's ok, can be used at any time of year and for virtually any occasion. My tip would be Molecule 01 to boost the performance a little. It is a fresher and lighter version than, for example, the Apex Parfum and you want exactly this lightness - test it and then buy it if necessary, not BLIND.

And now have a nice day/evening, or whatever you read this review, LG the Benny

A Christmas tree hung with pineapples
Love at first sniff!
It's amazing how incredibly authentic, fruity and fresh the pineapple stands out at the beginning! It lasts for about 1-1.5 hours - then, unfortunately, it fades and the wonderful, pleasant scent of a fir tree comes through, accompanied by a masculine scent. In my opinion, it would be nicer if the pineapple remained throughout. Nevertheless, an excellent, beautiful fragrance with a USP. You will recognize it 100% among 1000 fragrances!
You can also smell straight away - right from the start - that this is an expensive fragrance with expensive ingredients. It has real power.
The longevity could be a little longer - that's probably why there's also the Apex perfume. I tested it and it definitely lasts longer.

All in all, a unique fragrance that is second to none.

Old men Dirty Dancing
When I was 10 or 11 my mother took me and my brothers to Dawlish to a caravan park. We went to a entertainment night, where the headline act was Cannon & Ball (sorry non-UK-Gen X and younger UK readers…go on YouTube they were huge in the UK in the 80’s) any way they were very well known acts on that show and the Headliners came on and it was comedy and etc and then it closed out with a song. Bobby Balll came back on stage and started to 'rap' (it was the late 80s) and Tommy Cannon came out and said " Woah woah woha what yer doin? Kids nowadays don't want the rapping, they want the Durty Dancin" (again it was the late 80s and the film had just come out) and they proceeded to sing ' 'I've had the time of my life'. Now you might not know what this has got to do with this fragrance, but if as I suspected this is an attempt to appeal to a younger demographic by Roja Dove and not the dowagers, aged moneyed spinsters and tacky nouveau riche; then sheesh!
In this there is a very similar signature of early to mid 80s powerhouse fragrances , in the opening I could not stand a very prominent citrus, I don't know if it was the pineapple or the lemon, but it did not sit well with me; and this being a Roja it could've been both and other citrus notes as well. I really could not wait for that to disappear. If that had stuck around I would be writing something completely different.

I am surprised how much I like this, its much better than the criticism suggests, and I'm not really a Roja Dove fan (although I do like and respect what he's doing insomuch of recreating a classic style of fragrance) I can see he was trying for a 'younger' demographic but like Cannon & Ball missed the target. Not a bad shot though.

Not for boys and girls
This is a truly extraordinary scent. At the beginning for a few moments, it is fresh, and flawless. And then comes the heart of...lightness. It is like wandering through spring forest or herb garden places next to the woods. The opening crisp is due to citrus and pineapple. The real story told by the bottle bases on the outstanding mix of labdanum, juniper berries, incense, tobacco, woods, lether. And yes, patchouli - so gentle, yet significant, in the set. I love Apex Eau de Parfum from the first sniff.

When you live in a pineapple under the sea, but you’ve converted it to a Harley Davidson showroom.

oh Roja Dove... your mediocre, over-complicated fragrances, inflated ego and insultingly high prices never cease to make me laugh.

Sharp citrus in the opening. Afterwards, it becomes green, tart, herbaceous, spicy and woody. Cypress, fir balsam. Masculine and oldschool.
