NüWa
NüWa by Roja Parfums is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot and grapefruit, moves into rose de mai, orange blossom and jasmine and dries down to clove, cumin, sandalwood, benzoin, vanilla and peru balsam. Expect around 9 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.
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
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.
Dry-down
- Clove Hot, dry and dental. Powerful — a little goes a long way.
- Cumin Warm, spicy and unmistakably sweaty. Divides rooms.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Peru Balsam Vanilla and cinnamon resin. Deep and syrupy.
