After months of waiting, the long-awaited fragrance finally arrived. I have had almost only good experiences with Roja so far, which is why I was particularly excited about this one. As soon as it arrived, I had to test it immediately...
And WOW! It starts with a real explosion of scent from light citrus, soft leather, and above all one thing: vanilla. It impressed me so much that I had to write my first review about it..
Over time, more notes emerge: After the citrus quickly fades away for me, subtle floral notes, amber, and labdanum join in. However, vanilla remains the star of the show, although it now also gets a co-star. Peach! I was particularly looking forward to this as it has definitely become one of my favorite notes, and it fits perfectly here. From here, a certain familiarity with the scent profile develops, and I pondered for a long time where I knew it from... until it finally dawned on me: "Triumph of Bacchus (Eau de Parfum) | Argos." This combination of peach and vanilla bears an extremely strong resemblance to the ToB for me. This is not meant to be negative at all; I think it smells amazing, but well, it is also quite known...
We don't need to discuss price-performance; like most Rojas, this one is also very expensive, and everyone has to decide for themselves whether it is worth the money :) The bottle and lacquer box are, of course, a 10 as is typical for Roja.
Is the fragrance good? Definitely, for me a 10/10.
Should you get it? Well, aside from the bottle, the packaging, and the fact that it is limited, I would say that you can definitely get the ToB for a better price.
