About This Perfume

Roja Enigma Aoud comes across as soft rose petals dusted with powder and warm amber. It opens with aldehydes and bergamot, moves into peach, Grasse jasmine and may rose and settles on Oud, benzoin and patchouli. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.

This fragrance works across all four seasons and is easy to wear day or night. A good pick for casual days. Released in 2018.

Wearers report that it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.

Is it right for you?

  • Best for: anyone after something woody and powdery for casual days.
  • Sample first if: floral is new territory for you.
  • Skip if: you dislike creamy fragrances.

Around $410.

The Brand

Roja

Roja has 183 perfumes indexed on Scendira, Scendira's highest-priced brand by a wide margin. The six most-common accords are woody (109 perfumes), citrus (56), amber (52), aromatic (44), powdery (39), and warm-spiced (35), built on bergamot, jasmine, rose, musk, patchouli, and vanilla. Prices run $129.95 to $3,500, with a $500 median, luxury pricing throughout. 65% of the range reads unisex. By community mentions, Elysium Noir leads clearly, followed by Burlington 1819, then a tight cluster of Oceania, Apex, and Enigma. Roja Dove is a British luxury perfumer, and the catalogue reflects that: aromatic-citrus openings on a woody, powdery base, in the register of a serious, old-world perfume house rather than a mass-market Gulf brand. Filter by note below, or ask Dira which Roja perfume actually matches what you want to smell like.
