Picasso of discreet animalism
Welcome to the temple of elite fragrance connoisseurs, where you'll feel the banknotes flying off your skin after spraying it on. Is it worth it? Yes and no. It depends on what you expect from a fragrance:
At the beginning, blue lotus and a subtle coffee greet you, the oud is still hidden (is this the punishment?). However, there is not too much punishment in this fragrance, the oud is very well balanced, never becomes too acidic, acts as a contrast to the florality, animalic subtly contained, reminds me of a lion's skin (or my fantasy of the same).
This fragrance is criminally expensive, but it combines florality with animalism/spice with such artistic skill that the sin of acquisition comes to mind.
Conclusion:
Absolutely extraordinary fragrance painting, a Picasso of discreet animalism.

"A rose to end all roses"
It's not often that I would rate a fragrance a 10/10, but this one has it all:
It starts with a light, fresh note of green apple and very soft lavender, combined with a darker rose, with wood and a scratchy oud in the background. WOW! These are olfactory fireworks!
Contrary to all claims, the fragrance is not (!) heavy in the air, nor does it stick to the wearer, but it still lasts a long time.
To get to the point: This fragrance is the actually impossible perfect symbiosis of complexity and pleasantness.
My favorite time to wear this fragrance is when it's snowing or in very cold temperatures. Perfect for a Christmas party, for example, or sprayed very moderately at work at this time of year.
In summer, however, it can probably still be worn sporadically at very festive occasions.
Conclusion:
For me, this fragrance is probably the end of the rose-oud story; no rose-oud fragrance before or after it could add anything significant to it. No matter if there is a zero at the end of the price and no matter which ultra-rare rose from the private treasury of an extremely rich emir would be used for it. For me, this is the true "rose to end all roses". Finito : ).

On another level
Roja's Burlington is not only expensive, it is also different in other ways: it begins with such a tart and authentic but also well-rounded and gentle grapefruit top note, which calls into question any other fragrance with grapefruit in the top note. This is a different level of quality, through and through.
The fragrance also retains its freshness in the middle section, but becomes somewhat softer and lingers nobly and elegantly in the air.
This is a fragrance that probably won't bother anyone, but which seems so extraordinarily noble that once you've smelled it, there's probably no going back to the world of very affordable fragrances. Once you've driven a Ferrari, you won't want to get back into an Opel. The genie is out of the bottle. It is all over. You could probably say that a bit phrase-like.
That's what luxury smells like.
The fragrance is suitable for all areas of application, including work. It can be worn all year round, although spring is probably its prime time.

What an admittedly expensive masterpiece has been conjured up here...
You have to be a bit in the perfume game to appreciate this fragrance. It is a woody-ambery fragrance with a light, subliminal freshness. It can be worn all around, so it is totally universal, even at work it should be absolutely suitable in moderate doses. The fragrance is probably not suitable for young people (also in terms of budget), you should at least be an adult.
About the course:
It starts with a cardamom-sage blend that is so well interwoven that the price becomes understandable. It retains this spiciness, although some tonka bean is added later on, giving it a certain "sexiness". Sweet but never too much and perfectly balanced with the rest.
The bottle is also top notch in terms of design and feel.
Conclusion: The current hype surrounding the brand is probably real.
