Roja Parfums - Roja Haute Luxe
"After searching for my new signature scent for a long time, I decided to make one for myself..."
Haute Luxe is Roja Dove's own perfume. He originally blended this fragrance exclusively for himself, composing a perfume entirely his own from his favorite ingredients and letting it illuminate his personality and sense of style and humor so perfectly that he was asked about it over and over again. Finally, to celebrate his birthday on September 25, a total of 50 bottles of the coveted fragrance, 25 for customers in the UK and 25 for the rest of the world, were released for sale. Today, due to continued high demand, the number has increased tenfold. Of the 500 Haute Luxe bottles Roja produces annually, only half continue to be released for sale worldwide, while the other half are available exclusively in the UK. That the most personal of his compositions has achieved such popularity thrills Roja Dove. As the perfumer's intimate, high-end and rare fragrance, Haute Luxe is a particularly precious scent in many ways.
The fragrance:
Described by Roja Dove as a "chypre wrapped in cashmere," Haute Luxe truly nestles gently against the skin like a delicate cashmere texture. Precious rose and the finest jasmine are contrasted with a lightly powdery, precious iris note. Bedded on a natural chypréa accord centered on the dry warmth of oakmoss, they spread their wings and unfold a gentle, exquisite sound. The opulent foundation of these sublime notes is formed by leather and amber, whose deep sensuality contrasts the balsamic sweetness of vanilla and benzoin. Floating gold flakes - indeed, the least precious of all the materials in this creation - lend Haute Luxe's spicy-soft, powdery character a peculiarly dreamy harmony imbued with serene glow.
