roja seems genuine. whenever i see him interview i always feel better about giving him all of my money. i am just a cook so roja parfums are a real treat
Roja is a wealth of information and a natural communicator 🙏this was a fascinating watch 👀 what a story behind these. I own 3 from roja , Fetish ,diaghilev & elysium.
I must confess... I'm generally not the biggest fan of Roja Parfums... but Diaghilev to me is a true masterpiece. In spite of the outrageous price point, I may have to get myself a bottle.. some day. Also, Roja himself is fabulous and I absolutely adore his style and demeanor.
Loved this video, the stories behind fragrances are so interesting and are exactly like a photo or video but in the form of scent. The chemistry in this video between you both I found to be enchanting and extremely natural like two friends sharing experiences, it definitely didn’t have the perfumer and interviewer feel.This is one of my favourite of all time videos of yours because of the perfect ambience it relays ,another gem not only for you to treasure but for us all to enjoy also 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks so much Nigel, that means a lot. I had a great time meeting Roja and it's down to him that there is an easy going and relaxed atmosphere. I love that my channel is a sort of document of all these great experiences I'm having. If nothing else it's nice for the Grand children to watch one day 🙂
Hmmm, only got my nose on Diaghivel when it comes to these 5 choices, which I really dislike, it smells like an old lady to me. I was expecting something awesome considering the price and the fact that I love any other Roja perfume I've tried, but I guess it just comes down to personal taste and it's one the few scents I ended up disliking.
you are literally the best fragrance reviewer, much better then jeremy etc, you have your own vibe and professionalism in it. Keep on work can't wait for your fragrance release
Incredible content again Chris, Roja's enthusiasm is contagious! He absolutely loves what he does and is still humble about it. The connection between the 2 of you was there for all to see - can't wait to tune in to FM again 😂
Perfection. It turned out even better than I imagined. Only one problem: I wished the vídeo was 2 hours long. One of if not the best review/interview/first impressions vídeo I've seen. Fantastic job brother.
I wish it could have been longer! Thanks for the prep on this one mate. In the end I flipped it into a Top 5 minutes before I met Roja. In the end I think it worked out best for everyone.
I enjoy every single second of this video. The passion, the love, the joy for perfume from Mr Roja really does overwhelm me. An absolute pleasure to watch. Thank you Chris for this stunning video :)
Chris, I saw this video last year. Too bad I didn't comment then. This is the most inspiring short fragrance interview video I've seen in fragcom. Mr. Dove should consider doing a follow-up visit with you. You are just perfect for this. I don't know if you'd consider polling your subscribers to get him back by popular demand. He is a magnificent human being.
Just Brilliant, Roja is a fascinating man, a British icon for creativity. Wonderful job Chris in securing the interview, the story’s he weaves around his Scents are so imaginative Your emotive responses were spot on, love his shirt too!!.
I loved this video.. This is the second video I've watched which you produced and I'm impressed with your articulation. Roja Dove seems to be very down to earth. Great perfumer which is an extention of his persona.
Great interview, I enjoyed listening to him about how he creates his fragrances. Seems like a very cool man. Thanks Chris for doing this. Have a great Sunday bro!✌
Amazing how lucky you were to have this experience. Now my favorite house for multiple reasons. Roja has a warm heart and reflects that into his work in creating his wonderful fragrances. 👍
Diaghilev Oligarch H the Aoud Musk Aoud Vetiver Extract Amber Aoud was a long time favourite and no doubt will be again. RP will always be my fav brand
Unusually I shy away from such high End fragrances. But, the way he described. “Great Britain”. Wow sold. I can smell it from his powerfully elegant words.
I love his personality. Can’t wait to be somewhere where I can smell Roja’s creations. They are at the price range where I need to smell before I purchase.
This video is priceless. Roja is such an engaging character, there's no snobbery or arrogance about him, his warmth and enthusiasm are infectious. I have watched your videos on Roja fragrances with great interest, and enjoyment, even though I'll never be able to afford to buy the fragrances (maybe if I sell the house lol). They are, like many of your videos, quite simply great viewing! (Mas too is a very engaging guest.) But I'm posting this comment because I wanted to suggest (if you're reading this) that you do another video with Roja. He's fascinating and informative, and it's obvious that he was really well disposed towards you, can't help thinking that he would be happy to shoot another video with you. You could discuss not only more of his fragrances but also perfumery in general, and his life/career. And yours too, why not!
I've watched numerous interviews w/ RD & he comes off as incredibly likable & it's not phony in the sense like he's doing this for the camera, more so than this is who he is which is great to see.
Love this guy! Good to know he uses more than 80% natural oils. Purple is also my favorite color. Good to see it incorporated into the bottles and juice color
My goal is to own a Roja Dove fragrance one day! I love the chemistry and friendship between the two of you. This man deserves the support and his passion for fragrances shines through and through. And of course, you already have my support and subscription, Chris! I’ve loved fragrances my whole life. Thank you so much for bringing us this content!
@@FRAGMENTAL Don't mention it. Roja seems like he's very easy to get along with. Also, thank you for putting me on to Roja Dove's fragrances. I'm unsure as to how I would discover his brand otherwise.
Totally agree Roja is maybe the only fragrance that really performs different on skin. Huge fan of his well done blend that give always different vibes during the way to drydown. I have Elysium and a decant of Enigma because I'm not a big fan of this scent , but it's just a matter of personal taste too much flowery , the opening of roja parfumes is a magical experience everyone should try if you love scents.
Is that your Dad? 🤔 Joking aside.. Really interesting video, really interesting, this could be the start of a series "FM meets.." I could listen to Mr Dove talk all day.
@@FRAGMENTAL I'm probably not the only 1 of your subscribers that would like to see more of it. Things like this make your channel different from others and more appealing.
What a interesting and lovely man. I love to listen to him. He truly is a genuine genius. I am lucky enough to have half a dozen of his wonderful fragrances. I have been obsessed with fragrances for many years and this is the first time I have ever left a comment because it is such a brilliant interview.
Excellent interview FM! I am curious, what are your top 5 Roja Parfum fragrances FM? Thank you! The top 5 from my collection are: 1. A Midsummers Dream (EDP) 2. Danger (Parfum) 3. Creation E/Enigma (Parfum) 4. Elysium (Parfum) 5. Scandal (Parfum) HM. Elysium (Parfum Cologne - Blue Bottle)
Just got my first discovery set of Rojas Parfums and sniffed some of the mentioned fragrances while listening to you guys. Its such a nice first try, because I got Rojas thoughts on it while enjoying it.
Wow! Wonderful video... Roja fragrances are expensive and out of my budget but I must say owning one is on my bucket list 😁... Haven't smelled alot but so far Elysium and Enigma are my favorites, numbers one and two respectively.
I had limited set up time and framed up before the bottles were on the table. I'm not a professional interviewer or camera operator. I shot this after not sleeping the night before. I'd just stepped off the plane after a long journey. I had to think about my questions, the dual mic set up, the focus, the lighting and I had to find the energy to present to camera. All things considered I hope that you can forgive me for not angling the camera down slightly.
I am a perfumer and All my inspiration comes from perfumers like ( ROJA, ALESSANDRO GUALTIERI, ALBERTO MORILLAS, FRANCOIS DEMACHY and TOM FORD FRAGRANCES)
At first, I saw the length of the video and thought I would jump through to the important time stamps, but after a bit of hearing Roja speak I found myself watching every second of the video. I would love to have Roja Parfums in my collection one day
Now is Roja asking where FM purchased his t-shirt or is Roja hitting on him by asking FM where did he purchase his muscles??? I wasn't expecting that at all 😮
On Haute Luxe: If Gold Schlager can afford Gold and his ingredients are not even in the x10+ range in terms of price compared to the gold, this might just be the craziest profit margin on the market
Roja's perfume patter is top level. He's the Jeff Koons of fragrances Edit: Well done on getting this video made. I appreciate a good sit down with industry insiders
Excellent Video Chris , I love the fact Roja gives up time (has done with a few reviewers) to make content with you. Roja,s Partum's are the Penfolds Grange - Rolls Royce of fragrance world.
