Key Of Life EDP
Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - United Arab Emirates Extrait
This one is a classic love-it-or-hate-it Roja, a bold rose-oud with an herbal, spicy edge. Some find it a masterpiece of East-meets-West perfumery, rich and opulent. Others reckon it's a 'musty old lady' scent, overpriced and overhyped. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Our Verdict - Key Of Life EDP
Key Of Life reworks Roja Dove's United Arab Emirates, keeping the floral-oud-benzoin skeleton at a fraction of the price. It reads simpler and less resinous than the original's palace-grade richness, with a shorter, less commanding oud trail.
