Roja Parfums Chypré Extraordinaire is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Roja Dove. Chypré Extraordinaire opens with Bergamot and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Cedar. Roja Parfums's Chypré Extraordinaire carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Roja Dove's Chypré Extraordinaire is an utterly gorgeous, complex chypre that divides opinion. Some laud it as a masterpiece, while others are left cold by its hefty price tag and perceived lack of originality or performance for the cost. Worth a shot if you're not paying the full whack.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

It opens with a bright, aldehydic pop, quickly transitioning into a rich floral heart where rose, violet, and peach mingle with creamy ylang-ylang and plush plum. The dry-down reveals a sophisticated, mossy base, underscored by civet, leather, and patchouli, with hints of sweet vanilla and amber providing a luxurious depth that develops beautifully over time. It's a journey through classic chypre territory with a modern, fruity twist.
