Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - RDP21 Limited Edition

If you're a Roja super-fan with deep pockets, this limited-edition release is a must-have. It’s a beautifully blended, modern chypre that takes the best bits of Roja's back catalogue and refines them. Expect serious luxury - no ordinary daily driver.

Our Verdict - Pierre de Velay No. 25

A divisive one, this. Fans call it a masterpiece of complex green citrus, oozing luxury and class. Detractors find it too green, or generic and overpriced. If you're after a classic-smelling, masculine citrus-aromatic with a modern edge, then this could be for you.

Season and Occasion Fit

RDP21 Limited Edition

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Office Casual

Its exceptional longevity and sillage, combined with its sophisticated and luxurious profile, make it highly suitable for dates and formal events. While versatile enough for the office or casual wear with fewer sprays, its premium nature and rich character mean it truly shines in more elevated settings.

Pierre de Velay No. 25

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its sophisticated aromatic and woody character makes it suitable for date nights and casual wear, projecting an air of understated elegance. While it has presence, it's not overpowering for office wear if applied sparingly. Its complexity and luxury lean make it less appropriate for sporty, high-energy scenarios.
