4. Roja 51 Eau de Parfum
Review
A rich and sensual bouquet featuring an intriguing selection of florals and fruits, 51 Pour Femme Eau de Parfum is a well balanced oriental fragrance with an unusual twist.
Velvety smooth, elegant and vivacious, the perfume is an amusing admiration of affluence and splendour surrounding the Burlington Arcade in London’s Mayfair, where things are not quite as they seem and hidden behind the curtain.

Such compound fragrance is perfect for warm, fresh seasons and would make an excellent companion during either spring or autumn. With longevity of 7+ hours, it will gradually unfold its beautiful aromas as the day goes by.

8. A Goodnight Kiss Eau de Parfum
Review
A Goodnight Kiss Eau de Parfum is a scent of unexpected powers of kindness and care, the precious affections that make significant changes in our lives.
The precious memory of mother’s graceful figure entering the room to kiss her son goodnight when Roja was 9, inspired him to create this incredible perfume.
On the way to a cocktail party, she looked like a goddess dressed in this elegant gold evening dress. The fragrance lingering in the room after she left, the whiff of powder scent, was what later developed Roja’s interest and love for perfumes.
A floral, powdery composition, where carnation and violet meet together blending in with orris, create this soft powdery accord. The magical, sparkling notes of aldehydes lift the pallet and create an illusion, a feel of a goodnight kiss. The sense of security, love and admiration.
Citrusy bergamot in the headnotes, adds freshness to this rich, spicy bouquet, with a unique, unusual note of rice powder lightly uplifted by spicy, warm base notes of clove, cedarwood and leather.
This remarkably glorious winter fragrance, with excellent longevity of 6+ hours, is a true celebration of small gestures, fondness and power of love. A perfect manifestation of shared emotion, comforting intimate gestures that are the essence of our lives.

10. Rose Pour Femme Eau de Parfum
Review
Rose is a very characteristic and usually a dominating flower in fragrance, which often works as a calming note, highlighting the beauty of other ingredients within the blend.
It is fair to say that this elegant velvety flower totally dominates the perfume. The striking trio of sweet Rose De Mai, Bulgarian Rose and Rose Taif is backed up a little by the bitterness of geranium and is nicely complemented by the citrusy sharpness of bergamot.
Spicy notes of pink pepper, nutmeg and cinnamon uplift the rosy aromas, blending them into a warm, soft bed of enticing base notes. The leathery scent of green birch unfolds nicely whilst the rose starts settling down.
This is the most beautiful daytime summer fragrance and very long-lasting at 7+ hours. However, it is more evening scent for me personally, which I would choose to wear on those enticing summer ‘date nights’ with my handsome fiance.
Rose Eau de Parfum is a revelation of a unisex rose, the modern undertake on fragrance, which is far from the powdery vintage rose aromas we are so used to know in fragrances world,
enhancing the best qualities of this carnal flower.
