This man is so incredibly sophisticated. The mellifluous manner in which he alludes to the reasons for where to spray the scent and why is so wonderfully knowing without it being juvenile.
I love your fragrances just discovered them last year and have been completely obsessed thank you so much for everything that you do! Love and respect 💕
Recently discovered your channel, loving your knowledge and passion. My own fragrance collection has grown quickly these last 2 years and listening to your talks is both pleasurable and informative. Niche perfumery is a little out of my price range at the moment but I hope to sample and own some Roja creations in the future.
Mr. Dove, I must say, Elysium Pour Homme Eau Intense…is a pure masterpiece. The scent is absolutely intoxicating and a pure pleasure to wear. This came to be my signature scent after the first wearing. I can’t thank you enough for coming up with this. Cheers!
You are an amazing soul. I appreciate your knowledge, I love your fragrances of which I wear and wisdom you shared in this video. I’ve been trying to find me a bottle of the “Kuwait” you created and I can’t 😩😩😩😩. Bless me with a bottle 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😂
I can’t believe I’ve just discovered Roja. I feel like I’ve been missing out for years! Even better that the creator has made these sorts of videos, I’m a big fan.
This video is great! Only 1 thing, if you say that rubbing your fragrance on your wrist destroys the molecules, wouldn’t it destroy the fragrance if you rub moisturiser over the place you applied your fragrance on?
I’m so happy to see you on TH-cam. You did some videos for a magazine years ago on perfume and I was obsessed with watching them as you speak so hypnotically on the subject of perfume. You’re the David Attenborough of the perfume world.
Finally got to smell your creations while in New York! Absolutely stunning. Most are in a more mature style than what I am used to, but I appreciate their complexity and thought behind each one. I'm savoring the lasting bits I have on my sample cards. Love the work! Glad to also see you on TH-cam more often now!
Love u Roja! ♥️ I only have 4 of your fragrances in my collection and I cherish each one of them dearly! Thank you for making such superb olfactory art pieces! Love from Iran ♥️
Dear Roja Dove, It took me 40yr to appreciate fragrance's. Cant wait to dive into your creations. Waiting on Elysium Pour Homme Parfum Cologne now. Hope we all are so fortunate to try them all! Thanks for your time sir. Atlanta GA.
I really hate that I’m just now getting into fragrances and just learned about this man and his perfumes. Thank you so much for the content. I hope you bring back the Oligarch scent. I would love to smell it. I keep hearing great things about it
Tried the collarbone technique and it really worked with my Hacivat! I always had trouble with its projection when I sprayed behind the ear. It worked so well under my shirt; I guess it was cos the spray points were protected and got constant heat. Lasted almost 12 hours.
for one he's creating amazing fragrances and on top of that he got amazing ways to express, share knowledge and stories and also breaking the misconception we see everyday... thanks alot, really really love that actual perfumer telling what to do and what not to do with his creation.
Your creations are to die for.............literally budget wise..................I have beer budget with champagne taste! 😂 and thank you for making these videos. It's refreshing to see a creator spend time to explain the delicacy of his perfumes.
Thank you for these very useful tips Roja. One question that bothers me, how does applying fragrance before lotion not bruise the fragrance, like when you told us to avoid rubbing it in?
Discovered this video after the manager of Lalique in The Burlington Arcade pointed me at it. I've got Lalique fragrances but don't know how to use them properly so he recommended I look at your video. I HAVE been spraying it on wrong! Thanks for the information! Have subscribed to you.
Pretty useful tips...thank you for sharing some of your knowledge, Master ....I hope that lotion on top works for me because I have very dry skin. Thank you
Some great tips from the Master Perfumer. One thing I used to do was apply a spray onto the neck area behind the Ear lobe as I was told it was a pulse point that radiates the scent. I will apply to the wrist a lot closer now
Oh my..wish I found your channel before! Ive always spraying on my neck..how dumb am I?? Love your perfumes & one day I will hopefully be able to buy a bottle. Lovely😘🙋♀️
Thank you for the tips. I am just getting started in the world of perfumes and nothing seems to catch smell at the stores up here. I got a discovery kit with some of your creations and I am excited to try them out.
I never apply to wrists. The fragrance always ends up gone when i wash my hands or most of it will end up on my keyboard or the bottom part of my long sleeve shirt
“Creation E” Parfum Pour Homme edition is my all time favorite the from the House of Roja. This fragrance exudes nothing but pure class! Thank you Roja for the great tips.
Nothing to do with the content of this video... but I am a huge fan of your work! sir! Oceania, is the work of a genius of the very highest order! Thank you!
Just subscribed Love your creations I smelled Enigma and Elysium they are so goooood,!!! unfortunately I am unable to afford them. Those are great tips thanks for sharing.
Hi Roja . I really do love your job and you are a true artist , but I beg you please can you fix Elysium. Performance and projection it's terrible after 2 hours is gone. I love this perfume so much it will stay with me forever
First of all, thank you for taking the time and effort for making the video. You mention spraying the fragrance on the collar bones. Doesn’t clothing prevent the fragrance for being noticed since it covered? Thank you and kind regards from the Netherlands, Tom
This makes alot of sense. Although for very very weak perfumes i tend to spray on the upper chest area so i can smell them (one can i argue i probably shouldn't have bought them in the first place)
Yeah….I’ve done that….bought a weaker one that you need to apply a bucketful to smell it. Quality vs Quantity is my method now - I have to save up my pennies to do that though!!
My god I thought you were French!!! 😂😂 It makes so much sense applying the cologne first then the cream just like applying serums and finally a cream. Thank you very much Professor Le Parfum :D
I agree with most of what you said until the end ..spraying fragrance and then putting on cream? I don't think cream seals the fragrance in place .. if anything it just masks what you just sprayed.
Dear Roja Dove: thank you for these wonderful tips! I’m a great fan of yours from Puerto Rico. Very interesting thoughts on the body lotion usage! However, if you shouldn’t rub a fragrance in order to avoid overheating the oils, then how should we apply the moisturizer or lotion after having put on the fragrance? I’d like to try this tip, but don’t want to ruin my fragrance. Please let me know how you do it. Abrazos!
Good point - I can see how it seems I have delivered a mixed message, here. When some people apply perfume, they spray the scent very close to their wrists and then immediately press their wrists together. This almost compresses the perfume... it crushes the notes that you have just applied to your skin. The perfume becomes a bit of a cacophony. Instead, you should spray perfume onto your skin from a bit further away, which allows the notes to settle on and then dissipate from the skin, as nature intended. Allow the scent to settle for a few minutes and then apply cream to lock the notes - which have settled naturally- onto the skin. The slight heat from the rubbing sensation will enhance the notes but it won't crush them in the way they get when directly applied and dabbed. Rx
In my humble opinion we need to cherish this man give him his flowers while he's here a true Maverick and gives Insight into his creations and his creative process sharing his knowledge with all those that wish to learn.
Aw thank you - I am so glad you are enjoying my work/content! Rx
“Who knows where that might lead...” 😂😂
Good tips Roja, thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Dude just karate chopped at least three strategies I've heard from multiple fragrance influencers... Now we need to get them together for a debate 😄
I trust this guy over any influencer.
I only trust Mr Roja and Tom Ford when it comes to how to apply a fragrance.
Whom? Jeremy Fragrance? I would rather listen to this guy because he has wisdom.
@@SimplyKnownAsTron Jeremy thinks you spray then spin through it
🤣🤣🤣🤣 true
This man is so incredibly sophisticated.
The mellifluous manner in which he alludes to the reasons for where to spray the scent and why is so wonderfully knowing without it being juvenile.
3:10 The alcohol in a fragrance is not going to damage a moisturizing cream any differently whether you apply it before or after the cream.

@wildebest maybe that's crucial for you..
Lyndii mey best perfume in the world is ensar oud real deer musk no one can do like him king of perfumer
@wildebest This page is not for bent kids, okay? Shoo back to your PS4
That's a lot of sense on the cream/moisturizer tip... another tip, try unscented cream, if you don't want to change the aroma of the perfume.
Roja always comes across as a very nice person...wish I could afford his perfumes... Elysium is awesome
There's better fragrances out there for lower prices.

Thank you so very much, Roja!
From one Roger to another I hope you’re having a great week!

Spray in a downwards motion starting at your wrist and heading down the forearm towards the elbow.
