Xerjoff, is that you? 😄?! I'm completely out of the loop with the new releases from the brand. The 3 phases sound anything but "my thing." So, another unnecessary release?!

Even Xerjoff rarely sinks this low, and that says a lot... :D Interestingly, both the people I tested the fragrance with and some friends of hers who have a much more mainstream taste found the scent terrible. It's really questionable what Roja is thinking...

I only tested it by chance at a friend's place, who wasn't really impressed either, so she suggested I give it a sniff. Otherwise, I would have never smelled it-might have been better that way ^^

I'll probably skip it at that price.

I'll take the liqueur.
For 45 minutes...

I really don't like alcoholic scents, but that was actually my favorite part of the fragrance.

Yes, fabulous. Very of the moment.

Translated · Show original

Mrtangiers 11 months ago

Definitely, but still three levels below average in that regard.

I don't really know what the scent has to do with Paris, but whatever... :D

What a pity... According to the description, I’m the target audience, but if it turns out like this...

Translated · Show original

Mrtangiers 11 months ago

I think there are sooo many better scents out there, so there's really no need to check this one out.

That sounds really bad. I have no words for the price...

Translated · Show original

Mrtangiers 11 months ago

Yeah, I'm a bit at a loss for words too. It's all just marketing to create an illusion of exclusivity, but still, one can deliver a better-crafted fragrance, like Roja often does. It's not even about personal taste.

I'm already out with the hairspray.

Really terrible in parts, it's a shame what the house has become.

I would definitely run away from the hairspray.

That's the Ambrocenide in the top note again, making sure it performs well...

Skip it and save a lot of money... better to get a nice watch.

And for the money, you really get something beautiful that brings lasting joy, I agree with you.

Always nice when fragrances in that price range are so dispensable. 😉

I'm feeling lost too... the motto here is definitely "it can always get worse" 🤷‍♂️

Apparently so. Maybe it can still be topped; Roja will do his best...

Yes, that's really cheeky. When you go to the drugstore and reach for the bottom shelf, there are even better things there.

I should have just washed it off, but I don't think that will work with the DNA either. It felt like it was going to last forever.

*Sorry to all regular readers of my statements for the somewhat unusual style, but I need to be clear here. This is one of the biggest outrages I've ever smelled in the niche market. Even if we try to overlook the price of €1200!/100ml, what remains is a scent that has better alternatives for just €15. The top note is somewhat okay after the hairspray (thanks Ambrocenide), a somewhat authentic orange liqueur with a bit of sweetness. After about 50 minutes, it completely shifts on my skin and smells for the remaining hours like overly sweet, really stinky synthetic caramel, which you just want to wash off. Any designer, drugstore scent, or dupe from the Orient does this 100 times better; it feels so cheap. Roja has always had some misses, and after "Aoud Extraordinaire" a few months ago, I thought that was the low point. Far from it.
