A Goodnight Kiss
A Goodnight Kiss by Roja Parfums is an unisex parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with aldehydes and bergamot, moves into rose de mai, orange blossom, jasmine, ylang-ylang, carnation and lily of the valley and dries down to spices, clove, cedarwood, iris, rice powder and leather. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Aldehydes Fizzy, soapy, slightly waxy. The 'sparkle' at the top of Chanel No. 5.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Rose de Mai Softer, honeyed May rose. Expensive and unmistakably natural.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
- Carnation Spicy, clove-like floral. Old-school and a bit peppery.
- Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
Dry-down
- Spices Warm spice with no single spice named.
- Clove Hot, dry and dental. Powerful — a little goes a long way.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Rice Powder Dry, soft and clean. Skin-like and very quiet.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
