Shut up and take my money! (part 5)
At the first test I was still disappointed, because I had promised myself a different fragrance impression. On the Roja side, it seemed by its presentation much more pompous, glorious, voluminous and royal, at least this image arose in my thought muscle. Although I'm now not the type who stands on above fragrance attributes, the expectation went in this direction and my first sensation of the filling was an extremely emotional "goes so."

Because actually Burlington 1819 is at the beginning a sharp, pungent, tart, fresh, petrol-like cologne, which loses some punch in the scent development only after 20 minutes, becomes warmer and more cuddly. Nevertheless, I perceive it at least six hours very well on me, without it becoming too intrusive.

So far, I can only compare Burlington with another fragrance that I know: A Man`s Cologne by Gravel. A fantastic fragrance, in part. If, yes if, the exceedingly brutal top and heart notes would not be. A classic modern cologne that, after many hours, forms the scent that, for me, results in a cologne with potency and durability- yes, I know, actually not the characteristic quality of a colognes. These exhausting hours At the beginning led me to refrain from buying the Gravel.

In this notch beats for me Burlington 1819, only more pleasant and tolerable. My sympathetic pre-commentator draws parallels with a "musty" sofa in a cocktail bar, in which it smells of fruit (I allow myself to shorten his statements)- I feel rather reminded of a stay in a garage from the 60s, in which English gentlemen (one of them is William Habenborough, short form Will Haben) with their tweed jackets tinker with their sports cars (almost I want to say "old-timers", but in the 60s they were still as good as new). The musty I perceive as evaporating gasoline and engine oil, the fruity component is clearly present- even very tangy and almost pungent, I stress: almost. A bit of light rum, perhaps gin, floats in the air, with which you toast yourself after successful work on the speedster.

With Burlington I have found a wonderfully fresh Herbling, which has done it to me and which I can not really compare with any other fragrance. A masculine fragrance that you can not resent his appearance in the first 20 minutes. A real phenomenon is that after 9 hours in the office, back in my car, I find a pleasantly intense scent aura that I left in it on the morning drive to work. I never had that with any other fragrance before. Not even with Gravel.

Burlington 1819 is for me a cologne with potency and endurance, classic and modern at the same time. As beautiful as "love at first sight" is always with perfumes, I'm glad that even through second and third chances you sometimes only discover the value that a fragrance can hold for you. About the price you can argue, but with pleasure and luxury goods, you may like to leave that out, because you do not really need them to live, but would like.

Thanks for reading and stay healthy!

My best mojito ever ;)
The Mojito with its sweet fruity lime and refreshing mint with a little rum has always been my favourite cocktail, although I rarely drink it. That's why I find it all the more wonderful that Roja has succeeded in capturing the characteristic scent of the mojito in a perfume.

And of course there is much more: the top note can confidently be called a citrus fruit bomb, and in the most positive sense. Super fresh and super complex! I also like the fact that the fresh notes extend far into the heart note, before the somewhat "musty" base asserts itself.

Because the moist and cheerful citrus fruit mix is accompanied by an old couch. This musty aroma is probably intended to remind us of the time-honoured halls of the Burlington shopping centre in London. At the beginning I was not sure if I should like this, but somehow it sets a nice counterpoint and makes the scent look more mature. So the dose of old couch is just acceptable.

Now for the price: 225,- for an average shelf life and silage, that is with actually too expensive for an eau de parfum, although it belongs to the more favorable Roja scents. If you are at home in the Roja world, it should be a bargain for you, but the price still scares me off.

To me, it's a fragrance that's fun. Especially in summer!

The egg-laying jack-in-the-box - citrusy, sour, bitter, sweet, spicy, fresh and tangy
My very first non-designer and thus entry into the niche world

And this fragrance was for me immediately a bull's eye!
Maybe it was of course because I have not heard any more complex fragrances off the whole designer to date. Maybe he is not so good. Many of my friends find the too acidic / sharp and could not understand the magic and elegance that I saw in this fragrance.
Not only was it my very first niche perfume, but it was also a fragrance that ignited my passion and took me on a captivating olfactory journey.
When I first felt Burlington 1819 on my skin, it was like a magical moment. The tangy citrus notes greeted me with an explosive freshness that lifted my spirits and instantly enchanted me.
A short time later, other notes joined in. Spicy ginger, cumin that smells sweet and earthy rather than musty, an acidic tart grapefruit and a cooling mint.
This perfume is about how you imagine the perfect dish.
Everyone knows them:
The 5 flavors (sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami)
You try with lemons or limes to give the food the necessary acidity.
The bay leaf provides the spicy-bitter, a pinch of sugar brings sweetness into play, salt & pepper + the "meaty" umami give dishes an extra dimension and depth.
Now, of course, you can discuss whether you will hear the pinch of sugar in the food. But you just try to meet all 5 flavors. Only then you have the perfect dish.
And so it is with this perfume. It goes in all directions and creates a perfect symbiosis of all areas. Since Monsieur Dove has really created a masterpiece in my opinion.
Let's talk briefly about durability and projection:
Unfortunately, I perceive the fragrance on me after about 2-3h significantly less. What does not mean, however, that the fragrance does not still properly radiates. Be careful when re-spraying. I have then always neatly nachgelegt and thus probably penetrated my complete environment.
But I realized that only late. A work colleague I filled something from my bottle and only then I noticed how long this fragrance actually projects. He distributed the fragrance with only 3 modest spritzes throughout the office. All day. So re-spraying is not necessary. I know that by now 

Flacon:
- Love it or hate it -
I like the ostentatious, almost kitschy Roja flacons with the shiny Swarovski lids. Is just a matter of taste. The label is often glued on slightly crooked, which in my opinion should not happen in this price segment. With my flacon it is only quite marginal, nevertheless, the QS in the house Roja should give there a little more attention.

Conclusion:
Test this masterpiece, fall in love and let yourself be enchanted!

Addictive matureness!

Now, this thing is highly addictive! To be completely honest, this one just blew me away! I am a big fan of orientals but I wanted a fragrance which I could wear through the whole year, especially during the summer but with oriental facets..and that's exactly what Burlington 1819 is!

Lively start with sparkling lime and grapefruit as the first notes you get. Followed by uplifting mint, ginger, oakmoss and cashmere woods..then everything suddenly go quiet..like calm before the perfect storm..then you smell a beautiful blend of aformentioned notes with fresh tobacco dipped in finest rum. Benzoin, labdanum cumin and cedarwood are also prominent in the dry-down, giving this creation a truly unique feel.

This fragrance is ideal for well groomed Gentleman or rugged but stylish one too. Polivalent fragrance with many layers! Hands down, one of my favorite dry-downs ever!

longevity on my skin is good 8 hours and sillage is moderate but veeeery pleasing!

I will be wearing this one a lot!

Burlington 1819: A noble drop "summer" that promises a depth and complexity despite citric!
The Burlington 1819 is a really noble drop; you can smell the high quality - ROJA-typical - already clearly out. Grapefruit and lime exist in different fragrances, but in none does the whole interaction so perfectly synchronized as here. But now to the fragrance and its course:

- In the opening, there is a real grapefruit-lime blast, which smells fresh, but also bitter thanks to the ginger and other ingredients - very successful! A great and intense prelude!

- In the drydown, numerous notes are added, which give the fragrance - freshie untypical - a certain depth and complexity, which is really very special. It becomes fresh-creamy with a small shot of rum, really unique!

- What you should not expect is a projection monster; the fragrance is very close to the skin and projects only moderately at the beginning, after that really quite quickly a close to the skin fragrance. But at Roja is also known; the focus is not to stand out, but to discover and enjoy fragrances for themselves

Overall, a really noble drop and definitely recommendable for personal enjoyment; compliments from the environment, however, you should expect few / none, because the sillage simply does not allow that big.

To me its a complex version of L'immensité (LV) in the opening. Both part their ways in the dry down. It's more mature and sophisticated.

Spiked citrus punch. A bowl of grapefruit zest spritzed with lime, soaking in rum, and just enough crushed mint leaves to open the sinuses.
