Roja Parfums Burlington is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Roja Dove. Burlington opens with Bitter Orange, Grapefruit, Mandarin, and Lime, settles into a heart of Musk, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Cedar, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Roja Parfums's Burlington carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a real love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Some reckon it's a masterpiece of modern citrus, pure class in a bottle, while others find the cumin note absolutely vile, smelling of burnt rubber or body odour. It's a divisive one, so sample before you splurge on that hefty price tag.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

While some find its projection considerable, others say it's understated, making it potentially suitable for the office. Its complex, citrus-woody profile and subtle spice lend themselves well to dates and casual wear, though the polarizing cumin note might be a risk for formal settings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Bitter Orange
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a zesty, tart explosion of grapefruit, lime, and mandarin, brightened by a cool mint. This invigorating citrus then develops into a warm, spicy heart with a hint of ginger and cinnamon, underpinned by a complex base of rum, tobacco, and grounding woods like cedar and oakmoss. A touch of ambergris and musk lends it depth and a subtle, 'dirty' edge.
