Scent Journey
The fragrance explodes with a photorealistic, bitter citrus medley. The grapefruit and lime are sharp and effervescent, chilled by a significant dose of garden-fresh mint that provides an immediate cooling sensation.
As the initial citrus sizzle settles, the ginger and cumin begin to emerge. While there are no formal 'middle notes,' the transition is marked by a spicy, slightly boozy warmth from the rum, giving the citrus a sophisticated, 'cocktail-on-the-terrace' vibe.
The drydown is where the Roja DNA truly shines. The ambergris provides a salty, mineral depth that anchors the remaining citrus, while tobacco and oakmoss add a masculine, earthy texture. The vanilla and benzoin soften the edges, leaving a creamy, woody trail.
Performance Dashboard
6-8 hours on skin; significantly longer on clothing.
Bright and loud for the first 45 minutes, then pulls back to a polite arm's length.
Moderate; creates a professional and inviting scent bubble.
