Bergdorf
Bergdorf by Roja Parfums is an unisex parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot, moves into rose de mai, gardenia, orange blossom, jasmine, tuberose and lily of the valley and dries down to pink pepper, patchouli, oakmoss, cedarwood, sandalwood and benzoin. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- 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.
- Gardenia Creamy white floral with a mushroomy edge. Lush and old-Hollywood.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
- Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
Dry-down
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
