About This Perfume

Roja Risque smells like fresh flowers with woody undertones and a hint of citrus brightness. It opens with bergamot, moves into hyacinth, chamomile and ylang-ylang and settles on oakmoss, cedarwood and patchouli. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.

This fragrance is best in spring, fall and winter and is a daytime scent. It suits date nights. Released in 2012.

In the community's experience it lasts through a full day, and projects to about arm's length.

Is it right for you?

  • Best for: anyone after something floral and romantic for date nights.
  • Sample first if: floral is new territory for you.
  • Skip if: you dislike chypre fragrances.

Around $500.

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.
