Sur la route takes the citrus and leather dna, but upgrades it to another level. The opening features a pretty clear hay note, which at first seems odd and quite niche, but within the composition it smells very pleasant. Surprisingly works quite well with the leather accord. After a minute or so, the hay note seems to lose its 'hay' feel, but rather turns into a green grass note now, which pairs well with the citrus. The citrus in here is smooth, rather than sharp. The leather is dry, and not in the slightest animalic or anything. It's quite classy, but very wearable for almost every occasion. I would say the general age for people who will like this is likely 25+, but obviously that won't (and shouldn't) keep anyone younger than that from liking this. I am 18 myself and love it!

This will work in summer, winter, fall and spring, though I would not recommend wearing this when it is over 30 degrees, the leather might come off a little sweaty. It perfoms surprisingly well, I will be getting an easy 8-10 hours from this with around 4-5 hours of average projection, so that's quite good for a freshie!

Even though this one is a little less mass appealing than for example imagination or pacific chill, I was pleasantly surprised by this, as it's not getting any hype really. I believe it is discontinued as well, which is probably because it didn't get any hype. Nevertheless, I really like this and I'm happy to own this as my 5th lv. 9/10

Opens up with a punch of amaretto and almond backed by a very realistic honey. The almond and amaretto quite quickly settle and tone done, leaving room for the honey and 'bread' note... though I find this bread note smells more like wheat or bran. From here on out, the fragrance also has a very creamy vibe, almost buttery. Wouldn't say it specifically smells like cocoa butter, becsause I don't really pick up anything chocolately in here. Nor cherry for that matter. The dust note is also probably bullshit, there is a dryness, which might be that dust note, but honestly it's quite faint and not really distinctly anything.

That aside, this fragrance is absolutely beautiful, and it's not only an art piece, it is a very wearable fragrance that actually smells phenomenal. This is surprisingly very wearable for a gourmand, especially compared to some vanilla heavy gourmands like nishane ani, which I find less wearable than this.

On the topic of wearability, this fragrance is very much a winter/fall fragrance. I would definitely not recommend anyone to wear this when it's over 20 degrees celsius, because you will definitely choke the people around you with the intense sweet booziness. Many will consider this a date night fragrance, but I believe you can wear any fragrance throughout daily life (though not in every season), as long as you dose your amount of sprays right. This fragrance you will probably only need 2-4 sprays of, when it is VERY cold , you could go for 5, but I would not recommend going any higher.

It perfoms quite well, 12 hours on skin, 5 hours of decent projection. Really nothing to be complaining about. The raw materials used are clearly high quality, they smell very rich and dense.

There isn't much more left to say for this fragrance, ofcourse there is a whole story behind it, but there are people (namely the review under me) who can tell that story much better than I can. I prefer to look at fragrances this way, though I find it very fun to read the stories :)

Anyway, amazing fragrance. 9.5/10

Oceania... I blind bought this a while back and this was probably my best one. It opens with a really realistic sprite, although it doesn't smell like a soda. It still smells like a fragrance. It's mainly citruses, with slight floral tones in the background, but those are barely noticable. after around 15 minutes the citruses fade and the florals come through. It's this amazing smooth, yet unisex or even masculine leaning, composition of jasmine, geranium, and violet, backed by some woods in the base and slight ambery facets. After a while, around the 5 hours mark, the juniper berry comes through and enhances the mossy aspect of the fragrance a little too. It smells of pure luxury, words can't really describe that well how well composed this fragrance smells. Roja's DNA is very recognisable here, there are some similarities to elysium as well.

I am a big fan of roja's work and therefore I adore this fragrance too. It's amazing how roja composes these fragrances, he is one of the best at what he does. Absolute peak french perfumery, and he inspires me to one day become my own well-respected perfumer.

Oceania performs quite well for such a light and airy scent, I'll get 8 hours from this usually, though in high heat that would probably drop to 6. It project quite well, but nothing too crazy. People will smell you. It's safe to overspray a little on this, I would say 4-8 sprays. If you're only going to be outside 10 could even work. That is, if you have a lot of money to spend hahaha.

In general, I love this fragrance. It smells of luxury and works really well in high heat. It's refreshing and uplifting and really sets your mood for the day, just like everything roja has made. 9.5/10

Tobacco honey really is what the name says. It's the most realistic honey with a spicy warm tobacco and a spicy clove backdrop. Vanilla, tonka and a slight touch of sandalwood offer support from the background, and aren't really that prominent, though you could definitely pick out that his has vanilla, be it because you can smell it or because of knowledge of perfumery :)

I absolutely adore this fragrance. It was my favourite fragrance of all time for a really long time, which I have since moved on from due to the discovery of new things and slight changes in taste. But, this is still absolutely beautiful and I am really glad to own a bottle, because I will most definitely empty it.

This is so classy, even though it leans gourmand. Wearing this with a suit works especially well, although it can be worn through daily life as well, because why not? I dont understand the concept of pure special occasion fragrances, as long as you dose your amount of sprays right for the occasion! I do think wearing this when it is more than 20 degrees celsius would be very cloying for the people around you, so I would disencourage anyone from wearing this in summer and warmer spring days.

This performs absolutely phenomenally too, I wore this to school once and somebody in the really busy hallway said: 'Wow, someone smells really fucking good here'. I think it's safe to say that it was this masterpiece. This also is my most complimented fragrance, it really is a people pleaser while still definitely smelling more niche than designer-esque.

I think this fragrance is the peak of perfumery, and the masterful blending done here by jelk is very admirable, because it smells so well put together and coherent. Every raw material was well thought about and clearly of high quality. Amazing juice. 10/10

L’immensite is the tygar dna done right. Theres so many of the ginger, citrus, ambergris/ambroxan fragrances out there but none do it like louis vuitton has. Whereas many of them are fresh, airy and slightly spicy, this is warm spicy with citrus backing it. It’s quite simple, and almost feels a little old school (but in a really good way). You can smell the quality of the raw materials very clearly here, and it is really masterfully blended as for all lvs. I could understand people having this as their #1 lv, and I must admit that I have a hard time ordering this, pacific chill and imagination since they’re all just so good!! This fragrance performs really well for a freshie, 8-10 hours easily. Projects really well too, I never find myself needing more than 5 sprays. It’s really versatile, though I do find it a little masculine leaning rather than unisex. That aside, this fragrance is incredible. 10/10
