Roja Parfums Reckless is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Roja Dove. Reckless opens with Citrus, Bergamot, Tarragon, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of White Amaryllis, Rose, Jasmine, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Roja Parfums's Reckless carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Reckless by Roja Dove is a divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it perfume with a split personality. Some find it a sweet, elegant floral, while others are repulsed by an unexpected savoury funk. Testing before buying is an absolute must.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its complex, warm character and the potential for a powerful sillage make it a strong contender for date nights and formal events, though perhaps a bit much for a conservative office. The 'reckless' sweetness makes it suitable for some casual wear, but not for sport.

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
  • 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

Reckless opens with a bright, aldehydic sparkle, quickly joined by a complex floral bouquet of jasmine and ylang-ylang, given a fruity lift by peach. As it settles, a powdery warmth emerges from orris and tonka bean, underpinned by an earthy, slightly animalic blend of vetiver, castoreum, and leather. Clove and cinnamon add a subtle, refined spice.
