Grapefruit, Leather and Blackcurrant: Meet Elysium

Grapefruit, lemon and lime might suggest a straightforward citrus fragrance. But Roja Elysium Pour Homme has more around that fresh opening.

Lavender, thyme, apple and blackcurrant feature alongside pink pepper, vetiver, cedarwood, juniper berries and leather. Quite a list. The citrus brings freshness, while herbs, woods and spices contribute to the rest of the fragrance. If citrus and aromatic woods appeal to you, Elysium is one to compare.

Check the full version and concentration before ordering. Don’t assume every Elysium bottle contains the same composition simply because it shares the name.

Scandal Pour Homme: Why Rhubarb?

Rhubarb can bring a tart, tangy character to perfume. In Roja Scandal Pour Homme, it appears alongside lemon, bergamot, spearmint, lavender, basil and tarragon.

Rose, jasmine, violet, cardamom, clove, nutmeg, patchouli and tonka bean also feature. Mint and herbs give it an aromatic character. Rhubarb adds tartness, while spices and deeper base notes bring another side to the fragrance.

If you enjoy classic aromatic colognes, take a closer look at Scandal. And check the brand when shopping: other perfume houses use the Scandal name too.

Elixir Pour Femme: Raspberry, Peach and Rose

Roja Elixir Pour Femme combines raspberry, peach and rose with vanilla. Raspberry brings fruitiness, peach adds a softer fruit character, and rose contributes flowers. Vanilla brings warmth and sweetness.

If fruity florals are what you normally wear, Elixir is one option to explore. There’s also Elysium Pour Femme, which features blackberry, peach, peony, violet and musk.

Both have fruit and flowers, but the combinations differ. Compare the surrounding notes rather than choosing only because both feature peach.

Vetiver Pour Homme: Named After Its Central Note

What does vetiver smell like? The fragrant material comes from the roots of a grass. It can have dry, woody, earthy and sometimes smoky qualities.

That gives you a starting point for Roja Vetiver Pour Homme. Lemon, bergamot, celery seed, pink pepper, caraway, nutmeg and woody notes feature alongside vetiver.

Celery seed adds an aromatic element to consider among the citrus and spices. If you prefer earthy woods to sweeter vanilla fragrances, compare Vetiver Pour Homme.

Aoud Extraordinaire: Oud With Candy Floss?

Roja Aoud Extraordinaire has quite a combination of notes. Mango, peach, plum and pineapple appear alongside rose, jasmine and orange blossom.

Then there are oud, amber, leather and vanilla, with candy floss and toffee adding sweeter aspects. It’s a useful example of why an oud fragrance needs more than a quick glance at its name.

Oud can sit within dry, smoky compositions or alongside fruit, flowers and gourmand notes. If you’re interested in Aoud Extraordinaire, consider whether those sweeter elements appeal to you too.
