Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - M No. 03

A divisive powerhouse with an equally powerful price tag. Fans hail it as Roja Dove's magnum opus, a luxurious spiced leather that leaves a mesmerising trail. Detractors call it overrated, unoriginal, and a cloying mess of conflicting notes. It's not for the faint of heart - or those on a budget.

Our Verdict - Fortnum & Mason The Perfume

This is a bold, complex scent that manages to be both dirty and sweet. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of fragrance, with many finding it an intriguing masterpiece but some not impressed by the repetition of Roja's signature oud-like accords.

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Given its strong projection and exceptional longevity (often cited at 10-20+ hours), M No. 03 is better suited for evenings and special occasions where its opulence can shine without overwhelming. Its rich, spicy leather profile lends itself well to formal events and intimate dates, but the intensity makes it less ideal for casual wear or the office.
