United Arab Emirates

by Roja Dove

Roja Dove United Arab Emirates is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Roja Dove. United Arab Emirates opens with Artemisia and Bergamot, and settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Labdanum, and Geranium. Roja Dove's United Arab Emirates carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-led wear.

This one is a classic love-it-or-hate-it Roja, a bold rose-oud with an herbal, spicy edge. Some find it a masterpiece of East-meets-West perfumery, rich and opulent. Others reckon it's a 'musty old lady' scent, overpriced and overhyped. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

About

United Arab Emirates opens with a crisp, bitter artemisia and tart bergamot, quickly ushering in a dominant, rich rose heart. This rose is complemented by spicy clove and a touch of green freshness from redcurrant leaf and geranium, all underpinned by a woody, subtly animalic oud. The labdanum adds a resinous depth, creating a complex, aromatic dry down with lingering warmth and spice.
