Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Midnight Poison
A truly iconic, much-missed masterpiece. Midnight Poison is a dark, enigmatic siren that continues to captivate and frustrate in equal measure, with the community still raging over its discontinuation. It’s a polarizing brew, but those who love it, really love it.

Our Verdict - Roja Haute Luxe
This is Roja Dove's personal masterpiece, and it shows. Haute Luxe is a divisive, unapologetically opulent chypre that screams luxury - if you can stomach the price tag and the gold clogging the atomizer, that is. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it scent, often polarising opinions with its vintage vibe and hefty cost.

Season and Occasion Fit

Midnight Poison

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This powerful, dark fragrance is best suited for evening wear and special occasions, with many reviewers praising its allure for nights out. Its intensity and commanding presence make it less ideal for casual daytime or office settings, though some brave souls still wear it there.

Roja Haute Luxe

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong sillage and high cost, Haute Luxe isn't an everyday or office scent; it's too much for casual wear. It absolutely shines in formal settings and intimate date nights, where its luxurious and romantic character can be fully appreciated without overwhelming a room.
