Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Semi-Bespoke No. 5
This one is pure Roja opulence, for those who appreciate the finer things. A pity it's gone, as it's truly stunning but with a price tag to match its luxurious scent profile.
Acquired
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.
