Which Should You Buy?
This is a masterpiece that smells like old money - if that money’s been rolled in civet. It’s an opulent, animalic chypre that people either adore for its undeniable quality or recoil from as 'old lady' perfume. Don't go near it if you're expecting modern mass appeal, but truly exceptional if you're ready for its vintage gravitas.
This one is pure Roja decadence. No. 47 is a complex, animalic Chypré that many reviewers compare to other Roja heavyweights like Great Britain and Musk Aoud. It's a challenging, polarising scent that demands attention with its sheer quality and beast-mode performance.
