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.
