Like or dislike haute luxe, that's the thing here
Very interesting high-quality scent, he has something very special, do not know how to describe it, a sprayer and you are a small fragrance bomb not over-smellable
Memories and comparisons with Chanel no. 5, with Gold Woman, with Diaghilev are awakened.

Ylang-ylang is always present, intense and unsweet.
One likes HL and becomes easily addicted or not.
In the clothes and in the hair sticks a wonderful warm base, Ylang-Ylang, golden warm and creamy.

But he does have a bit of a granny smell, at least at first.

Please forgive me for this short comment, it was too long for a statement, but I would like to express how I feel about Haute Luxe.

Thanks again for the bottling, I will never afford it

Very helpful Review 7  
Haute Luxe Triumph
Yes, the price is outrageous - $3,500. Yes, the whole idea is overblown - actual gold flecks, I'm told at the counter. Whether in the bottle or the actual liquid, I didn't get. I wasn't paying attention. My nose had taken over my brain. Today, clearing my desk, I came on the scented paper in its envelope and had to write a review because I'm once again concluding this is the best thing I've ever smelled. By genre it is both a proper chyre (bergamot, labdanum, oakmoss) and a near-proper oriental (bergamot, jasmine, amber, vanilla), missing musk. The chypre element is deepened by addition of the faux oakmoss note now in vogue because of EU regulations (patchouli/vetiver). I mixed both the pure chypre accord and the faux one during my on-going Learning Chypre sniff fest to experience them and what's here is authentic. The spice in Roja is delicious, the cedar entrancing, the florals an olfactory garden of sophistication. It's as if Roja Dove decided to take the best in perfumery and push them beyond magnificence. For 10 years this was Roja Dove's personal perfume. It wasn't on sale. Now you could still say it isn't really on sale. There was only one bottle at Neiman Marcus when I went there a day in advance of his visit. You have to order it online at his site or go to Harrod's in London and there's no guarantee it will be in stock, I hear. Roja perfume (which at the counter they called Haute Luxe) is the best of the best I've smelled in my two years as a perfumista. Wear it and be assured only a handful on the planet will smell as good as you. I didn't love love his other fragrances. Innuendo is my favorite of the women's line. Diaghilev is wonderful among the men's. But as soon as I get an extra $3,500 I don't need for anything else, I'm getting on a plane, flying to London, getting in one of those Hackney cabs and driving straight to Harrod's. They called him Professeur de Parfum during the years he worked at Guerlain. With Haute Luxe, Roja Dove proves he deserves that title.

The 7.5 ml Discovery Atomiser I ordered on the website arrived today and fully justified the price with its great beauty--notes of far greater quality and depth, a composition far more brilliant than any of the hundreds I own. Only two or three stellar vintages (Shalimar extrait, for one) are even close to the same league.

Masterpiece!
I went down to Harrods Roja Dove Haute Parfumerie and i tried this one. Was totally blown away by this out of world parfum. Yes, the price is very hefty, but the sheer quality of the parfum justifies the price to me personally, someone else may think otherwise. This parfum reminds me of the movie 'Perfume The Story of a Murderer', underrated classic must watch film.

Beautiful, Intriguing, hilariously over-priced
I bought a little 3ml sample that I’ve been wearing around to get my thoughts.

It’s a bit of a hard scent to wrap my head around because I’ve never smelled anything like it. It’s quality is apparent the moment you catch a wiff, the material’s chosen are of the highest quality and the blending is superb.

The scent, to summarize it, is very mossy, spicy, slightly sweet, salty, slightly floral and very old school. This is not for a man under the age of for 40-45…it does not smell youthful or playful in the slightest bit. This is for someone successful, sophisticated, well put together and confident. This definitely isn’t for women either, it’s too masculine.

It’s a beautiful scent, i enjoy wearing it, but i feel as though it’s wearing me…I don’t feel “comfortable” smelling like this in public. I’m only 28 and I’m not doing the fragrance any justice. The longevity is nearly eternal but somehow doesn’t overwhelm which is interesting. The sillage and projection is always kept in check. No one i asked said it smelled good, everyone said it smelled “weird” or like an “old man” or like “an old lady”.

Is it worth $3500 usd for a bottle? No…but if you have a lot of money to burn, why the hell not. This is THE endgame fragrance, there is nothing more opulent or outrageous out there.

Overpriced but good
I had a chanche to test this in Dubai Mall. I is poudre with lavendel and some eastern ingredients. The quality of the ingredients is really good. Not bad at all, but definetaly overpriced.

Initially uplifting and spicy, a warm and powdery, gently leathery, oriental-spicy Chypre, balanced by a smooth, resinous earthy-woody base.
