Sensual Seduction with Roja Parfums Elixir

“Fragrance is like a magical elixir: Invisible, a single drop can transform you into a goddess. It has the power to make you feel irresistible, confident, and seductive – where anything is possible. This magical elixir exudes effortless sensuality – giving you the power to light up a room, to leave an impression, and to get what you want.” – ROJA DOVE.

I couldn’t agree more. Fragrances have power to uplift the mood and personality. Even if you dress up well but if you are not wearing a fragrance, you won’t feel ready or complete. Fragrances not only change your own mood but also affects others’ mood who are in that room. This fragrance in particular has the power to make you feel irresistible, confident and seductive. This fragrance leaves an impression which is why this is special!

Created By British Perfumer Roja Dove, Roja Parfums is widely recognised as the world’s most luxurious fragrance house.

Roja Dove is renowned for working with only the finest quality materials; from Rose de Mai, Jasmine de Grasse and natural Ambergris, all costing considerably more than pure gold, through to handmade, silk-lined boxes, and Swarovski encrusted, 24 carat gold coated caps, and candles with their fine fragrance grade oils mixed with the finest wax and painstakingly poured by hand, everything is made without compromise.

Each scent is made in England, and Roja Parfums is a true testament to the beauty of British perfumery.

I have to mention that I have been following Perfumer Roja Dove’s interviews in media for few years now and wanted to try fragrances by him for the longest time. This is the first one in my collection and I am so pleased to receive this.

Elixir Ingredients

Top Notes: Bergamot

Heart Notes: Lily of the Valley, Geranium, Rose de Mai, Jasmin de Grasse, Ylang Ylang, Heliotrope, Violet, Raspberry, Peach

Base Notes: Violet Leaves, Cinnamon, Cedarwood, Casmir Wood, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Orris Sur Cèdre, Orris, Ambrette, Musk

Opening is beautiful and sparkling for me like a champagne and then a joyful bouquet of flowers specially Rose comes through in a soft delicate manner. Fruity notes give the airy quality to the fragrance and vanilla at dry-down gives the sweetness. Violet and Heliotrope gives the powdery impression while the precious woods add warmth to the fragrance.

The composition is sophisticated, feminine but not fragile and will turn heads. The fragrance is light, airy and juicy at opening but it blossoms on the skin and adhers with a good longevity.

Sillage & Projection

Sillage and projection wise it is pretty powerful (not heady) for first 2 hours or so. It is noticeable by others and you get compliments which is great. Gradually it softens but still stays all day on skin and for many days on clothes.

Overall thoughts

It is the concentration of Essence de parfum and has Oriental Floral vibe with dominant soft, romantic and delicate rose note. I also get a lot of peach from this fragrance. I wore it on valentines day and have been wanting to wear it everyday but it is a special occasion fragrance and you don’t want to waste casually.

The fragrance works really well on clothes as well. It lasts for days on my clothes so I like to spritz on my skin as well as my scarf , sweater or blouse.

If you want to invest in just one luxury fragrance, this romantic sensual fragrance will be a good choice. The sophisticated blend of this fragrance is rich and complex.

It conveys feminine vibe but is powerful at the same time. It works in any season and will be a compliment-getter for everyone (crowd-pleaser). The fragrance would be great for a Formal event when you have dressed up nicely. Perfect for Date nights and close encounters :).

Roja Parfums Elixir Essence Pour de Femme is available via Roja Parfums and Selfridges in the UK.
