Roja Parfums
Last updated
Britannia opens with a radiant burst of citrus that gleams like morning light on the Thames, its bergamot and mandarin notes giving way to a sumptuous heart where delicate florals like rose de Mai and jasmine mingle with the unexpected sweetness of peach and heliotrope. The composition settles into a rich, enveloping base where warm spices, creamy sandalwood, and creamy vanilla are grounded by earthy vetiver and patchouli, creating a scent that is both timelessly elegant and seductively complex, befitting its regal namesake.

“This is my absolute favorite Roja, bar none. This fruity and rosy burst in the opening settles elegantly down into a sexy powdery dry down with tinge of ambergris running throughout.longevity is insane, as you would might expect from a Roja, projection is quite tame tho, definitely sits quite close to the skin.”
“Nice but as usual frightfully overpriced Roja powdery Floriental. The chypre style perfume opens with a flurry of citrus notes proceeding to a predominantly floral heart comprised of a prominent heliotrope surrounded by notes of rose, jasmine, peach, champaca, violet and cassia. It finally settles on a powdery patchouli base surrounded by ambergris, orris, nutmeg, cinnamon, sandalwood and vetiver. Elegant, discreet and expensive. Feminine leaning with moderate sillage and projection and good longevity. Only for die hard Roja fans others can safely skip. Enjoy!”
“This is a very natural smelling, beautiful, rich fragrance, which only a rich person could afford, erring slightly on the side of the semi-gourmand (with elements a rich spicy cake, but which is not necessarily sweet). On my skin the top notes evaporated within a minute leaving a very long lasting and delightful base. I perceive this as being entirely unisex. It smells like a wealthy person of impeccable good taste who is honest and kind and who means well and gives everyone a warm welcome into their home. I trust this fragrance.”
