London
London by Roja Parfums is an unisex parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot and lavender, moves into hyacinth, rose de mai, orange blossom, jasmine, labdanum and heliotrope and dries down to oakmoss, patchouli, rosewood, vetiver, cedarwood and sandalwood. 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.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
Heart
- Hyacinth Cold, green, watery floral. Smells like early spring.
- 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.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Heliotrope Almond, vanilla and powder. Smells like marzipan and old-fashioned makeup.
Dry-down
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Rosewood Soft, rosy wood. Gentle and slightly floral.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
