Roja Parfums
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
A brilliant collision of stone fruits and citrus erupts immediately—fuzzy peach skin meets tart blackberry, both brightened by bergamot's sharp marmalade quality. The pink pepper makes a brief appearance, adding a subtle peppery snap that prevents the fruit notes from settling into confectionery softness.
The floral core gradually displaces the fruity opening, revealing itself as a densely woven tapestry rather than discrete florals. Jasmine's honeyed warmth dominates, supported by creamy magnolia and the green-edged brightness of freesia, whilst cyclamen adds a peppery, almost soapy counterpoint. The composition feels simultaneously heady and structured, the competing florals creating a dynamic tension.
Sandalwood and cedarwood provide a woody envelope, their creamy, slightly chalky quality tempered by lingering vanilla and musk. The pink pepper reappears faintly, adding subtle spice to what has become a softer, more sensual composition—though the fragrance never fully abandons its floral character, instead settling into a gentler, skin-scent version of its former intensity.
Elysium pour Femme announces itself as a floral-forward composition that prioritizes abundance over restraint. The fragrance opens with a striking peach-and-blackberry duet, their stone-fruit sweetness immediately undercut by bergamot's bitter citrus bite—a clever move that prevents the opening from veering into jammy territory. What emerges is a composition designed to showcase Roja Dove's maximalist approach: eight distinct florals layered into the heart, each vying for attention.
The interplay between freesia's peppery freshness and magnolia's creamy indulgence creates the fragrance's central tension. Jasmine and ylang-ylang add a honeyed, almost indolic richness, whilst cyclamen's peppery mineralité and peony's rosy sweetness prevent the composition from becoming cloying. Lily of the valley provides a whispered green undertone, cutting through the floral density with its sharp, aldehydic character.
