Strong in the opening hours, projecting arm's length or slightly more. It becomes more intimate and closer to the skin during the extensive drydown phase after 4-6 hours.

πŸ’¨ Sillage

Moderate. It creates a noticeable scent bubble around the wearer for the first 3-6 hours without being overpowering or room-filling.

πŸ† Final Verdict

Roja Parfums Lost in Paris is a masterfully constructed gourmand that delivers on its promise of luxury and longevity. Its journey from a boozy citrus aperitif to a creamy caramel dessert and finally to a spiced, woody amber is compelling and well-executed.
