Roja Parfums Vetiver is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Roja Dove.

Roja Parfums's Vetiver carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Roja Dove's Vetiver is a divisive scent, hailed by fans as 'the ultimate' yet slammed by critics as overpriced and unoriginal. Expect a battle in the comments section nearly as rich as the fragrance itself.

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.

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
  • Eugenol from Nutmeg
  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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

This Vetiver unfurls with a vibrant burst of bergamot and lemon, quickly settling into a sophisticated heart of jasmine and rose. The base is where the magic truly happens, with an earthy, green vetiver taking centre stage, complemented by spicy caraway and pepper, woody guaiac and cedar, and a mossy, amber depth that ensures a luxurious, lasting impression.
