Roja Parfums London is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Roja Dove. London opens with Oregano, Bergamot, Lavender, and Sage, settles into a heart of Rose and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Leather, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Roja Parfums's London carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

If you're seeking a sophisticated amber with serious gravitas, London delivers. It's a supremely blended, luxurious scent, though some find it a bit too subtle for the price tag. Expect quiet quality, not a shouty declaration.

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.

This fragrance's warm, spicy, and amber characteristics lend themselves perfectly to evening and cooler weather events. It's too refined and deep for casual wear or sport, and its powerful presence might be a bit much for a typical office setting, though its smoothness keeps it from being overwhelming.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

London opens with an aromatic flourish of lavender, oregano, and sage, quickly melting into a rich, resinous heart of labdanum and a hint of rose. The drydown unveils a deep, complex base, where warm spices like clove and cardamom intertwine with smoky incense, earthy woods like cypress and cedar, and a luxurious leather accord, all smoothed by balsamic vanilla. It's an intricate dance of tradition and modern opulence.
