Manhattan

by Roja Dove

Roja Dove Manhattan is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Roja Dove. Manhattan opens with Lavender, Basil, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, Coconut, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Pine, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Roja Dove's Manhattan carries a Favourite verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

Roja Manhattan is a divisive blend, loved for its sophisticated tobacco-vanilla warmth but criticised for its weak performance and high price tag. For some, it's a masterpiece; for others, it's just an overpriced candle.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Despite its dominant warm and spicy accords, many find Manhattan to be a surprisingly soft and subtle scent, making it suitable for office wear if applied lightly. Its luxurious and elegant profile, with emphasis on tobacco-vanilla, makes it ideal for evening and cooler weather occasions, particularly dates and formal events. However, its 'cozy' and sometimes 'candle-like' nature might not suit all formal settings, and its minimal sillage pushes it away from typical 'date night bombs'.

About

It opens with a fresh, aromatic whisper of lavender and basil, quickly giving way to a heart of creamy coconut, delicate violet, and warm rose. The base is an intricate tapestry of vanilla and smooth, spicy tobacco, enriched by pine, patchouli, and a medley of cinammon, clove, and ginger. It dries down to a musky, woody warmth, subtly punctuated by a hint of pink pepper.
