The Absurd Flower Shop
Today I unearthed a full 2ml vial of Mischief EDP from the sample box. How did I manage to overlook THIS? Thanks to the user who sent me this gem!
This is something new for me. The Rojas I know are all much heavier than this one. Unfortunately, I can't draw any comparisons to the Extrait here.
Mischief EDP is, for me, a VERY floral yet simultaneously fresh and green scent. When I spray it, I feel like I'm standing right in the middle of a flower shop. My first thought: THIS is what a Flowerbomb smells like (NO, this one does not smell like Flowerbomb by V&R at all; I just found the name very fitting). Hyacinths, lily of the valley, and plenty of greenery, just freshly watered. (It seems the citrus top notes are so well blended that this impression is created instead of smelling a typical citrus top note). Of course, the water eventually evaporates or is absorbed by the flowers, and what remains is indeed a long-lasting but unobtrusive floral scent. For lily of the valley, the whole thing smells very transparent. A comparison that comes to mind is the now-discontinued A Scent by Issey Miyake. This is probably due to the hyacinth, which is quite noticeable alongside the lily of the valley in Mischief. With Roja, it smells of course more high-quality - the notes are beautifully blended, the sillage remains consistent throughout the day and doesn't dissipate quickly - and the herbal top note of A Scent is also missing here.
What really surprises me here is that I've been waiting for the base notes for almost 9 hours now. Since the floral water has faded, nothing much has happened. This doesn't bother me too much, but it does surprise me a bit when you consider what is supposed to be in here. But those who know Roja fragrances know that the gentleman apparently always has homework to do when it comes to writing fragrance pyramids. Or he mixes such homeopathic doses of the listed fragrance ingredients that they are hardly perceptible.
By the way, Mischief means mischief, nonsense, rascal. Here, Roja Dove is once again poking fun at us. The scent is very well-mannered and reserved. You probably won't stand out unpleasantly with this.
I would recommend it more to women because it is indeed very floral. Soft-feminine-floral, to be precise. In late spring when it’s not too hot, during the day.
I really like the scent a lot. It matches my preferences for lighter fragrances perfectly. This is something to keep in mind when purchasing. One must like lily of the valley, hyacinths, and flower shops to enjoy Mischief. If that's the case, you can buy it without hesitation. The price is, of course, completely inflated, but on the other hand, you really do have a light and fresh scent here that lasts all day even with a sparing application. And you really don't find that in a reasonably priced segment.
