Fruity-floral prelude on a fine-woody amber base
With oud I'm skeptical, because it can act on European noses but something rabid. In this fragrance, however, the note is very well incorporated and pleasant to wear.
Shortly after spraying on, I smell apricot and peach, I thought. But after a short time I realize: this is not apricot, this is osmanthus! A coveted and highly priced flower, which is accompanied by woody-green fragrance nuances in addition to the aforementioned floral-fruity apricot.
In fact, I have real osmanthus in my little lab, so I assume there is real osmanthus in this fragrance. I find it all the more surprising that this fragrance note does not appear in the fragrance pyramid.
A small imbalance follows after 5 - 10 minutes, when a phenol-like smell comes through, which probably comes from the contained woods. Once you have the phenol-like runaway behind you, the warm woods slowly show up with the fine-spicy well-dosed oud note. Well perceptible, but not overdone.
In the base then further woods and light amber, caressed by delicate apricot - which is probably produced here by synthetic fragrances - but just does not smell synthetic.
Overall, for me a successful fragrance, which (except for the imbalance in the top note) smells very balanced and is equally suitable for males and females. Good durability, later rather close to the skin.

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...

Mango / Shower / Rhubarb
When I read a book by Jean-Claude Ellena I became curious. He had written about his inspiration. The moment when he reached for a mango in an Egyptian garden and inhaled the delicious scent right after picking it.
And during the day the fragrance...
