About This Perfume
Roja Pierre de Velay No. 1 comes across as warm amber and rose petals over creamy sandalwood. It opens with bergamot, moves into rose, jasmine and orange blossom and settles on saffron, agarwood (oud) and ambergris. It reads unisex.
It is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. It suits date nights. Released in 2017.
In the community's experience 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 amber forward and warm for date nights.
- Sample first if: amber is new territory for you.

Around $500.

The picks up close
Roja Isola Blu (Parfum, 2023) carries bright citrus and herbs melting into creamy vanilla and woody warmth, starting with lime and bergamot before juniper berry, cedarwood and grass take over. Bright citrus with warm spice and woody smoke undertones is what Roja Burlington 1819 (Eau de Parfum, 2020) delivers, opening on grapefruit and mint and drying down to ambergris, tobacco and oakmoss. Roja Elysium Noir (Eau de Parfum, 2025) reads as warm amber with a whisper of fresh citrus and leather underneath, with lavender and bergamot first and ambroxan, juniper berry and pink pepper at the base.
