About This Perfume
Roja Pierre de Velay No. 47 comes across as elegant wood and soft florals wrapped in a warm, powdery veil. It opens with bergamot, lemon and clary sage, moves into ylang-ylang, violet and mayflower and settles on castoreum, civet and Tolu balsam. It reads unisex.
It is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. It suits date nights and nights out. Released in 2017.
Wearers report that it lasts well into the evening, and projects strongly and fills a room.

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.
