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

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.

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.
