Roja Parfums - Diaghilev
In uncompromising, rich opulence, Roja dedicates an artfully arranged tribute to one of the greatest creative talents of the 20th century. Created for an exhibition on the Ballet Russes at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, Diaghilev is an unusually complex, indulgent perfume that reflects the diverse creative fields and revolutionary spirit of its namesake. In his creation, Roja's fragrance refers to none other than Sergei Diaghilev, who brought Russian ballet to the theaters of Europe, and thus to great fame, in a way that was unconventional at the time. Art should no longer be the exclusive preserve of the aristocracy, and so Diaghilev broke with the prevailing rigid regulations, collected art, promoted artists and paved the way for the Art Deco movement. With newly defined standards, Diaghilev changed the world. Renowned composers and dancers were among his companions, as were the great writers, painters and visual artists of his time. Rojas fragrance tells of an unprecedented historical legacy.
The fragrance
Thirty-three components combine in perfect harmony to create an artfully branching chypré accord. Roja succeeds in creating a faceted masterpiece whose fruity, spicy and leathery notes blend into a special harmony. Tangy citrus notes in the opening and a floral accord that draws from the full, meet juicy fruits and gourmand spicy sounds. Woody notes and leather give Diaghilev a sensual, unfathomable depth. This fragrant symphony composed by Roja stands out from anything that has come before in its complex nature - achieving a justified cult status among perfume creations.
