About This Perfume
Manhattan Eau de Parfum by Roja Dove is a Oriental Spicy fragrance for women and men. Manhattan Eau de Parfum was launched in 2022. The nose behind this fragrance is Roja Dove.

"On this small island of iron and cement, Manhattan can only expand upwards. A visible symbol of aspiration and hope. Despite the noisy and gritty grid of Manhattan, there is a sense of belonging to something cosmopolitan, mighty and unparalleled. An energy that takes root in you. This NYC-inspired fragrance evokes this unmatched sensation. At night the buildings shimmer vertically, against the dark sky. In the morning the sun rises over Manhattan illuminating the city that never sleeps." KEY INGREDIENTS: Heliotrope, Coconut, Patchouli, Tobacco, Cedarwood, Benzoin, Vanilla.

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.
