The full profile.
Roja Reckless smells like spiced florals with woody leather and a bright citrus opening. It opens with mandarin orange, orange and bergamot, moves into neroli, Grasse jasmine and may rose and settles on musk, coriander and sandalwood. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum works across all four seasons and is a daytime scent. A good pick for date nights. Released in 2011.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.

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.
