Roja Parfums Nüwa is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Nüwa opens with Bergamot and Lemon, settles into a heart of Immortelle, Rose, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, Birch, and Oakmoss. Roja Parfums's Nüwa carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Divisive and expensive, with a strong cumin note that either captivates or repels. Nüwa is a high-class rose chypre from Roja that sparks intense debate over its merits, especially concerning its price tag and distinct 'old version' spiciness.

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.

Best Occasions

The strong, spicy, and opulent nature of Nüwa makes it less suitable for casual or office wear, where it might be too overwhelming. However, its rich character and sophisticated depth are perfect for formal events and romantic dates, where its intensity can truly shine.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • 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

Nüwa opens with a bright burst of bergamot and lemon before settling into a rich, complex heart of rose and osmanthus, intertwined with the unique, slightly sweet and spicy facets of immortelle, ylang-ylang, and redcurrant leaf. It dries down to a profound, earthy base of oakmoss, patchouli, and vetiver, spiced by cumin and clove, with a touch of ambergris adding a luxurious warmth.
