I could listen to you tell stories for hours!!! Congratulations on 10 years! I still have so many of your creations to discover, and I’m very much looking forward to it ❤️
Thank you so much, dear Andrea! Very flattering as I love your stories, also. Stay in touch with Jack and keep exploring my creations! Love to hear how you find them. Rx
I put on a spritz from my preciously small quantity of Roja (Haute Luxe) in celebration of 10 years of Roja Parfums. It felt like such a fitting way to enjoy this video. Congratulations to Roja and the team.
Yes, the lockdown made me explore perfumery like I never did and perhaps never would if I didn’t have such prolonged time away from everything. It allowed me to reconnect with myself and I was able to focus on me for once, as sad as that sounds.. 5 months later, I now own a few cupboards full of perfumes! 4 of them are Rojas that I completely love with Diaghilev being my latest and best purchase by far. Thank you for creating Elysium parfums cologne, thank you for creating Enigma parfums pour homme, thank you for creating Oligarch, and thank you for creating Diaghilev. Diaghilev is so good I was left speechless. I told myself “this is it.. i found you, my last perfume”. I couldn’t care about getting new perfumes anymore after smelling it, its everything I didn’t know I wanted from a perfume, the end of my olfactory rainbow, Diaghilev.. *big sigh*. Congrats on the 10yrs and may we be blessed with many many more to come! 💜
wow this really is quite the achievement, thank you! I am so thrilled to read this and so glad you like Diaghilev so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Rx
I love my Roja Dove Vetiver and Creation-E cologne 😍my mom said Vetiver remind her and me of my dad (may he rest in peace) when he would come in after mowing our and both neighbors yard. The smell of grass and dirt and gas . It's amazing how you made a beautiful scent that reminds of him like that ❤🙏🏽❤ thank you and so much love to you Roja Dove
That is lovely. And it's entirely the magic of perfumery - how it connects our memories and experiences and allows them to come back into our minds. Rx
At 60, I've retired to a small rural agricultural town where the best scent is soap. A few months ago I decided to wear again after a 40 year hiatus. I chose Amber Aoud and Elysium. I'm getting hugged and squeezed every day and loving it. All the best Roja!
After testing Burlington 1819 in a store, i am now saving up for a bottle. It was Magic. I can't even describe the journey of the senses. I now call it one of the best If not The best fragrance of all time for me personally. I can't imagine a better scent for the warmer side of the year. ❤
Congratulations!!!! 10 years is an absolute accomplishment, Roja. Your artistry is simply unmatched. I just got my hands on a few offerings from the Essence Collection and will be reviewing Scandal, Danger and Enigma on my channel.
@@rojadove4680 thank you so much for taking the time out of your schedule to write. It means a lot! I hope I do the fragrances justice. If you like, then by all means feel free to subscribe to my channel, because once I get a raise, I’m gonna get few more bottles from you, sir :)
Congratulations to you and us! It is our luck to have you, Roja Dove, in our time. Because of your presence, we don't have to be jealous that the previous generations had Guerlain's legendary perfumers.
I LOVE watching & listening to you! You look marvelous! In California, I've just had my coffee, toast & raspberry jam with you, sitting at your table in your bright, lively shirt! What remarkable, entertaining stories you told! Congratulations on 10 triumphant years! May you have 100 more - you'll surely discover the secret of youth in a scent & we'll all be clamoring for it. Enjoy this glorious day & thank you for being an inspiring burst of light & joy! That was a fun coffee break - off to work you go. I'm still in my PJ's :)
What beautiful stories to go along with these captivating fragrances and memories. Congratulations on your brands milestone!! Very well deserved achievement, Roja!
Congratulations on making it to 10 years 🙏 and here's to another 10 and then some. I will say that you'll be a part of a major milestone in my own life as my fiancée is planning on wearing Britannia during the birth of our daughter in the next month. It's a fragrance that brings her so much joy and happiness that it will be aroma therapy during the birth 😊 I also plan on wearing amber aoud , I just need to buy it first 😂 Take care and wish you and everyone at your company all the success in the world. God bless 🙏
Wow that is amazing - how fabulous to be a part of such a big day, in a small way. My most heartfelt congratulations to you both. I wish you nothing but the best with your new family. Rx
It’s has been an absolute pleasure to experience your beautiful perfumery sir, and I plan to continue on this journey of experiencing your many creations for many years to come. And of course meeting you in person one day would be any fragrance enthusiast dream come true ❤️
From one fellow Brit to another. I think we’re very lucky to have you Roja. You are definitely up there for me, as one of the best perfumers of our time. Congratulations Mr Dove and Thank you.
I loved hearing about the stories and inspiration these fragrances Roja and I absolutely agree that fragrance has been an enormous comfort and inspiration during the pandemic. My favourite perfume in my entire collection is my precious bottle of A Goodnight Kiss, a fragrance that never fails to move me when I wear it. Thank you for your beautiful creations 🙏🏻
I know you are one of the biggest fans of A Goodnight Kiss and I am so flattered by that. As you know, it's an incredibly visceral, personal scent to me, so I am very touched when people share in its magic. Rx
A monumental 10 years Roja. A heartfelt congratulations on so many stunning creations, each one a triumph. Thank you for sharing your stories and for graciously answering all of our questions in your Q&A's. Here's to 10 more fabulous years to come! 💜💜💜
The way u speak about these things, it adds value to the price tag they come with. Midsummer is a Yessirrrrrrrr for me; I love smelling it off my partner & daughter when the fire it on - a wonderful creation. I prefer Chypre Extraordinaire to Diaghilev, I just cant cut it wuth Diaghilev. Amber Aoud is one I need to add at some point, I loved a sample I was gifted. Roja (from HL collection) is strong, I need to try it abit more I think. My favourite creations from you are PDLN3 & Oligarch, I own PDLN's 2 & 3, Oligarch I shall be picking up shortly. Keep up the good work & congratulations on 10years of wonderful creations.
Congratulations! It’s really is an another milestone for you and your company💜 I can’t wait to discover what’s yet to come of Roja Parfums! Here’s one to 20 years anniversary🍾🎉
What a pleasant surprise to be greeted with another wonderful and informative video. Funny enough, I’m wearing Scandal EDP today! It’s humid today and the lovely fragrance cloud is surrounding me as I type. My favorite is Danger Parfum Cologne, but I have many of your exquisite creations. Here’s to 10 more years and beyond!! You create and I’ll continue to grow my ROJA collection. You are an inspiration and creating the finest fragrances in the world.
Thank you so much for this video Roja! I’ve added A Goodnight Kiss, Amber Aoud and 51 Essence de Parfum to my wish list! 💛💛 I would love to see you talk about more of your fragrances !
Thank you! I promise to keep trying - now restrictions aren't so strict, I will endeavour to spend more time with The Jacks creating content and telling stories for you all. Rx
The dedication for your brand is so inspiring ... for me as a hobby parfumer this is everything. I hope one day I will have created at least one scent that makes me half as pride as you are for your creations! Keep it up! Greetings from Austria!
I love listening to you speak about your art form. I was so glad to hear you speak about Burlington 1819. Its my favorite in my fragrance journey (so far).
We have missed you Mr.Roja, please come back with your videos, behind the scene and your lovely and educating stories. Yours Fetish and creation for Puredistance are supreme. 🍀❤ Congratulation on 10 years, very soon your brand will be in it teen age.
Congratulations on the ten years!!!! Love hearing the stories behind the scents. I can't wait to discover more of your creations. Nothing more magical then wearing your scents
I love hearing about the stories behind your perfumes, it really gives the fragrances more meaning to me. As a side note, I just tried Diaghilev today and I am blown away. Well done with everything you’ve done thus far!
Congratulations Roja!! You are a gent, an absolute legend and bring joy to the world with your creations. And by coincidence my first Roja bottle, Enigma Cologne is due to arrive in the post today, along with some other samples of yours...I'm very excited.
Greetings from Nashville. I have watched this video (and many others of yours) a few times. I find them both insightful and educational. I decided to comment on your statement regarding the Burlington 1819 release and being surprised about folks purchasing a scent that had never been smelled before. Interestingly, I did that with both Elysium offerings, Oceania, Danger, Scandal, and Burlington 1819. Short of ordering a 'decant' tester, Roja Parfum's is not found locally. I have only ordered decants after a full bottle purchase and use them for travel. That said, I'm a professional pilot. And yet, I still don't have the opportunity to run about some city visiting all venues that I would like too. My purchase history is a testament to both yourself and the brand. Most importantly, my awareness and decision making process is due to certain knowledgeable online YT reviewers. I have yet to be disappointed with any Roja Parfum online purchase (Saks and Selfridges).
Bravo!!! Roja Bravo!!! I’m sitting here looking off trying to imagine the opportunities you have been blessed to experience to give the world your experience through smell. What an adventure! I am slowly getting into delving into your creations and can’t wait to try all of these that you mentioned and come back to this video to put my nose to your story…. Thank you!
Congratulations Roja on the success you of your brand. I just smelled your danger pour home perfume cologne and I’m in love all over again with perfumery. Thank you!
Thank you for this excellent video Roja. The pandemic has made me appreciate scent even more. While the world seemed to stop and we were at home, scent provided an escape for the senses. I am currently wearing a Taif aoud.
This made my day Roja! Love hearing you talk so passionately about your creations. I can’t wait to soon get my hands on a bottle of your wonderful fragrances
Congratulations I am making a perfume for men and it is inspired by Cardiff and its city and I cannot wait what's in the future 😍 I absolutely love your brand and the Fragrances that can't even be explained. Keep it up Roja I love listening to you ❤
🥂 My most sincere Congrats to you, your team and your brand. I remember when I first saw your brand years ago in Neiman Marcus. It had the look of luxury at first site. The darkness of your aouds shock me into curiosity. Danger Pour Homme Parfum was my first purchase. And I haven't stopped since. Happy 10th ROJA PARFUMS and Haute Parfumerie.
Happy anniversary! Oligarch and 1819 are two of my most cherished bottles. Thank you for bringing some olfactory happiness to my life and those around me.
Congratulations on this milestone and many more to come! I absolutely love hearing you tell the stories behind your fragrances. I own and love many of your Roja Parfums perfumes and a couple from the Pierre de Valey line. I truly appreciate the love and dedication you put into your creations! Thank you so much and stay well
Congratulations on a decade of making life more beautiful! I look forward to being able to travel to London to visit the flagship and hopefully get to catch up. It's been too long since working together in Singapore and Dubai.
i havent been able to get hold of the others yet but i have samples of danger, scandal, vetiver, enigma and elysium. these r all the very best among all scents ive tried in my life. cheers from Bombay, India
Burlington 1819 is just bright, sparkling and beautiful. With the story of it coming out around the pandemic and selling so well, it's just like us. We've survived Covid and we are living on just like this great fragrance. Im so glad it was made ❤
Mazel tov! Maybe in another 10 years I will be able to afford your fascinating fragrances... until then I continue to be a die-hard fan of your products
Thanks for your beautiful creations till date. Your fragrances ROJA and Chypre Extraordinaire especially lifted my mood especially during this pandemic. I love the others but the two I mentioned for some reason make me feel so comforted anytime I sniff and douse myself with them. Thanks for your creations.. Indeed my personal tag line for your creations is "THE BEST OR NOTHING!"
@@rojadove4680 Oceania! I thought that since traveling will be difficult this year, investing in a scent that can take me away from my beloved Swiss Alps whenever I want, wouldn't be a bad idea as a birthday present for myself! The sample of Reckless Essence de Parfum is marvelous as well :)
The power of your work is undeniable and the scents are so magical and transportive! Thanks for all that you do and congratulations 10 years ! Looking forward to the next release!
Congratulations on your 10 anniversary! You make the most extra-ordinary scents, all with their own character (from what I have tried at Selfridges and Harrods). Enigma is a true gem for me, I cannot speak of how intoxicating and wonderfully warming those sweet Cola notes going into vanilla are! You're a real Legend in the industry. It's always fascinating to have an insight to the thoughts and ideas that goes behind the creation of such Masterpieces.
please do pop in - I promise it is not daunting at all. It is a welcoming, safe space to discover perfumery. My team are all personally trained by me and are happy to show you through the scents. Rx
@@rojadove4680 That is very reassuring to hear because, at 42, I've only just discovered my passion for fragrances and because I'm disabled and unemployed, I'm not a "Normal" customer of The Burlington Arcade so I'm very conscious not to go into shops uninvited. But Vlatko and the others at Lalique introduced me to their world and I've got 2 fragrances from them and there's 3 more I want to get now (when I have money.) Vlatko told me a lot about you and how you're a fan of Lalique so I'm very curious to have a look inside. My main interest, because I'm very new to fragrances, is that I want to smell individual ingredients used in perfumes. I have Illusion Captive 1898 and love it but I don't know why because I don't know what Bergamot, Fig leaves or Cistus Labdanum smells like. So if your staff have the time to school me on what smells belong to what, I'd be very grateful.
@@martinhopley they will of course be able to guide you through the scents to help you better understand not just what it is you like and dislike but what you are actually smelling, as you go. Enjoy! Rx
@@rojadove4680 Brilliant. It's my birthday next month and I won't be able to buy anything from you as I've already got my heart on Lalique Soleil but I'll stop off at your shop to ask your staff to school me on fragrances and what you make so that I at least know they exist for when I want to buy presents or show my Japanese friends somewhere different in London.
It is wonderful listening to these magnificent stories, and the thoughts behind the compositional masterpieces! You are truly a genius in what you do, and I feel inspired every day, just by wearing your creations! Enigma, Oligarch, Danger and Parfum de La Nuit (3), are my favorites, thus far, in my perfume-journey, and I want to discover more from your amazing art. Never stop being you!
Your voice and demeanor are extremely calming and kind. I love your fragrances so much. My favorite is Elixer. It's so soft and unassuming yet flirty and fresh. I admit I am an over sprayer with all my favorites and I overspray this one. I want to smell it all day. I also took your recommendation to layer fragrance then body cream and it has been a game changer. I am in love with all of your fragrances and congratulations on 10 fabulous years. I only wish I could afford Haut Luxe but alas, I need a roof over my head.
Congratulations on your 10th Anniversary! I loved all the background stories you have told. I think I will wear Candy Aoud in celebration of your success. Words cannot express how much I love that fragrance *swoon* 🥂 to another successful 10 years. When Im back in London I will make it pleasure to visit one of your stores with my credit card ready 😂
You're a brilliant creator and thanks for this video... I own Sweetie Aoud, a full size Diaghilev and, my favorite parfum of all time, Chypre Extraordinaire -- lovely video and lovely work!
