By the editors · 2 min readA short lemon top, then straight into white florals — jasmine and ylang braided with violet, the bouquet loosely held rather than tightly composed. The heart is restrained for Roja's standards, leaving room for the base to do most of the perfume's talking.
That base is creamy and slightly almond-leaning. Sandalwood and orris build a powdery wood platform; almond and vanilla soften it; ambergris and patchouli warm the floor; and saffron throws a thin, leathered spice line across the top. Musk closes the dry-down close to skin. The almond-iris-vanilla axis gives the whole thing a marzipan-and-suede mood — quietly dressed up, not ornamented.
