O? Why not S or B...
To criticize a Roja Dove is almost like a sacrilege, but this fragrance simply invites you to do so. Today, 23.07.2020, it is rated with 8.4 / 10 points and it will surely find its fans. So a warning in advance: Whether the 8.4 is justified or not is a matter of taste. But the value is to be seen purely statistically, namely: few people can afford an RD or ever look into a niche perfumery. Not everyone has access to Roja Dove, and if they do, the number of people who can smell the O will be smaller. And of those... well, you can see where I'm going. Count Zahl sends his regards!
It is already "special" for the normalos and the enthusiast nose. If you look at the pyramid, it sounds really promising: beautiful fine woods, wonderfully introduced by floral and fruity notes. What reads really great in theory is practically more like the job description at Bauer sucht Frau. Imagine a big stable, enter the honorable vault and enjoy the pure nature. Roja already has good hands, so you can't tell if it's cow or horse or more piglets. So it looks ... anyway it smells for the first 2-3h, which is longer than one episode. So you really can't complain about the performance. Sometime in the evening everything calms down and the wood strangling mixture turns more and more into a wood spice mixture.
But, but, but, there are berries and organs, and look.. Yes, there are. In my bathroom, when I wash this stuff off with soap and then try to olfactorically clean it with these synthetic scent fresheners. Yes, synthetics in this case trumps Roja Doves O!
And yes, I know Oud is not for everyone. But there are also oud scents that I respect, which are much more wearable and offer a minimum of decency and non-violence, especially towards Europeans. I would not put oud in this category. So why one fragrance gets 8.4 / 10 and others - admittedly not so artfully designed fragrances - are severely punished, is not quite clear to me. But my moral sense of justice is itching so much that I simply feel statistically compelled to give the fragrance a very low number.
And why O at all? S for stable or B for barn would be more appropriate. But, well, Oh dear might fit, too. Maybe a flanker in 2021 called P. Ugh

Aquatic fresh summer cocktail with endurance
Prologue:
A few words about the average rating grade 5.9.
The Bond No. 9 brand is torn away from the more frequent here - sometimes rightly in view of (too) high retail prices and (too) synthetically turned up performance. But sometimes also wrongly, as in this case. The fragrance is a lot better than the rating given here. Unfortunately, many individual ratings < 4 pull him massively into the trash hedge, although he knows how to please in many places. As a yardstick for comparison: Parfumo also praises various smelly animalistic Zirbet and Oud bombs with an 8er rating into the sky, which remind more of cowshed than of olfactory virtuosity. The bad note has probably also to do with the brand and not only with the perfume: in the beginning I also felt Bond scents as loud, overpriced synthetic bombs. But now I appreciate their DNA too. In cross comparison they often have a good to very good performance and some scents are unique in their own way. The better bonds require some patience and time until the fragrance sorts itself after a provocative or out-of-round opening. With online discounts, they can also reach regions with acceptable prices.
The scent is not necessarily the favourite of fine noses and perfume nobs who want to sniff out each lime leaf individually, including the course of the scent from seed to harvest, tasting and final composting. Gourmet lovers who like cocktails, watch out! And for those who just want a long lasting, cheerful and special summer scent: dare. It pops, refreshes and differentiates itself from many citrus toilets and from the standard Sunny, who wants to please everyone with boring modesty.
To the fragrance:
Morning 8:30
It starts relatively hot with a citric green mix of lime, melon and other fruits. I can't really separate what can be attributed to the guava or the margarita chord. Sometimes a hint of green shimmers through, which reminds me of basil and as soon as I approach my nose the scent, the green is already gone again. His opening statement is, "Wake up people. The sun is already there, here's the party, here's the cocktails. Don't be shy. And don't worry, we're open all day." If he is too sharp at the beginning, patience is advisable - he gets even rounder ;)
Lunch 12:00
The indicated heart and base notes slowly move up and remove the edges of the fragrance in the course of approx. 2-3 hours piece by piece. At no time, however, does one of these sweeter gourmand notes dominate the fragrance. He's on the beach and he's staying. Around noon Coney Island voluntarily leaves the role of the present main actor to the sun, which now stands vertically and pops. The fragrance switches to refreshment for the benefit of the wearer: it invites to a light maritime snack with melon. Additionally it produces a transparent maritime aquatic aura, quite slightly salty without any algal
with sea salt. I get hungry and want to eat melon with Parma ham. Unfortunately there's no such thing here :( That's a point deduction for the location!
17:00
Where many summer scents usually leave only the memory of the former freshness, Coney Island can still be felt. Not bad for the fleeting grades.
20:00 Evening
There is still a hint of aquatic freshness on the skin. Now at the latest it is clear that durability is not just a brand promise, but a reality.
Morning, next day 8:30
Nothing is noticeable on the skin, but the T-shirt still smells clearly from the day before.
Relationships:
The fragrance is not the same, but the theme is comparable to Creed VIW or Tommy Bahama's set Sail St. Barts minus coconut, plus margarita and on a different volume level. At first the decibels separate, later Coney Island asks the two with a slight smile: "How, now already flabby?"
Why can he disapprove:
The Formula 1 like start with loud pricking citrus at high rpm. At first it smells synthetic until the aromas subside. Not everyone likes the melon. He is from Bond No. 9 and thus automatically qualifies as an olfactory enemy image for the bond haters ;)
Rating:
Fragrance: 9.0. Especially during the first few hours it makes a difference and signals "Happy. Summer. Beach. Party. I'm ready! I'm ready! You, too?"
Sillage: in the first few hours the tail initially pulls loose 2-3 meters.
Projection: Not quite as strong as the Sillage but noticeably longer than the arm.
Shelf life: At the top and amazing for a citrus. 8h plus on the skin depending on the situation and temperature. On the clothes can be reached 24h and more.
Flacon: A gorgeous radiant blue. Definitely an eye-catcher.
Price: Bond normal prices are hefty - like their performance - but more often available for half or less online. Given the fragrance idea and shelf life reduced his money fully worth.
Blind buy: for me and adventurous perfumes yes.
Conclusion: Test it and don't let the bad perfume rating discourage you.
