What a thoughtful presentation by Roja Dove! It would be fantastic to get to smell all those iconic fragrances from the past. What an insolent audience, however.
I wish I was there to listen to this precious lecture. Mr. Roja for sure has much more stories about fragances and about his own scents. I hope to encounter more videos from him.❤❤❤❤❤ thank you so much for sharing ! Cheers !
I started a perfume collection, have always been in love with the art, and emotions of scent, and this has been an incredible speech. As a person who studied classical history in university this speech brought both my love for history and scents together. Thank you
Lovely stories and history! I own Tabac Blond, Mitsouko, and Chanel No. 5, none of the bottles newer than 30 years old. I treasure them so much but do wear them.
Excellent lecture. Full of information and what an absolutely incredible collection he owns. Id say Mitsouko is the greatest perfume ever made. For the greatest perfumer I’d nominate Edmond Roudnitska.
I can't believe this video has no views. Y'all need better branding, advertising, and a better image. People would love to watch this. They either don't know what they're missing, or think it isn't interesting at a glance. I wasn't even into fragrance until a year ago, and now, because of Roja Dove, I'd like to make a career of this when I leave the military (originally it was medicine). The history is interesting, and so is the idea behind it. Come on yall.
What a moving lecture from a well-travelled master of his class. I am moved to tears. Mes salutations Monsieur Dove. @fragrancefoundationuk - Thank you for recording the lecture and making it available to a wider audience on TH-cam.
This genius is offering so much wealth of knowledge and history and the audience is so poorly educated in showing this gentleman the respect he has earned.
This was so interesting. It is so amazing to see the beauty and fineness of the bottles. It's easy for people living in modernity to not understand or appreciate the past and discount so much of the skill and abilities of those living back then. People these days are more likely to say those were created by the Tartarian's and from before the mud flood. SMH. Also, I finally know how to use a blotter strip correctly. XD
Guess I found one of my favorite videos on TH-cam with this! Wonderful. Edit: However, the audience really did seem to be somewhat... inconsiderate, which is actually quite baffling.
i just love everything classy and that is you roja dove i also love knowledge which you have giving to me here so thank you aswell as the fragrance community and i love fragrances . so thank you for expanding my knowlege of the history of fragrances roja dove
Sir it wasn’t Mumtaz Mahal, the queen was MUMTAZ; and mahal means a monument like that Taj Mahal Anyways GEART LECTURE on history of perfumes!! Thanks, I wish I could smell those samples tho, a whole century depicted in front of you.
Fascinating and Envious. Two words to express this presentation. Envious because he paints a picture of better times. Times when society had class and sophistication. And more importantly structure and accountability. Especially regarding men and women and the dynamic between them. There were no social constructs to excuse the poor eating habits and behaviors. Particularly sexual behaviors. This reminds me of growing up with my grandparents who, I was placed under they're custody, as my parents were not able to raise me for multiple reasons. They were from the 50s. We sat down for dinner as a family at 5pm. You ate what was on your plate and moreover you were grateful. You wouldnt dare complain. After all, women and children were to speak when spoken to and only with permission. Respect, integrity, honesty, honor..things i sorely miss in today's clown world of the west. Even his speech is elegant. So well versed and precisely pronounced. A very refreshing video to see. I love the history and way it is beautifully explained. It also reminds me why I love collecting. Fragrances can literally transport you to a different time as well as serve as future doorways for present events soon to become memories. Absolutely beautiful. 👏
You are wrong If you think Arabs invented perfumery! Archeological evidence has shown Kingdoms of Indian sub continent ( currently India) had well set up ancient perfumeries as old as 2500 years ago & possibly even older & made perfumes with rose, sandalwood,Jasmine for their Maharajas & Maharanis & the rich elite when Arabs were still living as nomads!😅 I am an archeologist who is introduced in perfumery.
❤❤❤ You win my hearth from the 1st breath of Ti amo...and now i am so so delighted to hear and see and feel the pleasure to that voyage du parfum ! Je suis ravie ! 💜💜💜 I wish to meet you in person and tell you about my heaven masterpiece !
Great video! I was scared to death he was going to drop one of those rare fragrances.
This speech is better than BBC’s documentary on the history of perfume. 😂 Amazing!
BBC has the worst and the most boring perfume documentary of any documentaries witnessed by mankind
I would have died to be there and smell some of these.
It's a torture not to be able to smell it too 😢
What a rude audience! They have no idea how lucky they are.
I’m not even half way through and I just want to scream, “SHUT UP!!!!” I felt sorry for Roja!
I like how seriously he takes perfume. His enthusiasm is infectious.
What a thoughtful presentation by Roja Dove! It would be fantastic to get to smell all those iconic fragrances from the past. What an insolent audience, however.
Yeah, was hard to watch cuz of the audience. Not gonna lie!
I was napping and awakened and this was playing! Beautiful.
Excellent presentation,
rubbish crowd.
I wish I was there to listen to this precious lecture. Mr. Roja for sure has much more stories about fragances and about his own scents. I hope to encounter more videos from him.❤❤❤❤❤ thank you so much for sharing ! Cheers !
Met Roja at Guerlain kiosk in Saks 5th in Chevy Chase, Md back in the 90's, had a lot of fun that day, lovely Gent.
I started a perfume collection, have always been in love with the art, and emotions of scent, and this has been an incredible speech. As a person who studied classical history in university this speech brought both my love for history and scents together. Thank you
Easily one of the most captivating humans on the planet roja you are so inspiring and you made me cry buckets I hope to meet you one day 🙏🫶🏼✔️
Roja Dove is such an amazing Person, I could listen to him all the time, the way he talks while being funny at the same time. He‘s something special
What a great presentation. Enjoyed the video thoroughly. When Roja reaches for something in the back I'm like... Ohhhh shit.
😅😅😅😅😅😅 me too
Lovely stories and history! I own Tabac Blond, Mitsouko, and Chanel No. 5, none of the bottles newer than 30 years old. I treasure them so much but do wear them.
And this is why Roja is my favourite house and I don’t care the price!
Such a wonderful journey through time
Extraordinary presentation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I noticed he said he has not found an apprentice/heir to his brand/genius. That is sad, I hope someone can take advantage of all his knowledge.
Engaging and Delightful!
Great video! loved it
Amazing lecture ❤ didnt realize that it was Mr. Roja himself untill the end.
I really enjoyed this presentation--super informative--Roja Dove would make a wonderful professor at a university!!
Wished Roja done more of these. Love hearing his knowledge
Starts at 8:55
Excellent lecture. Full of information and what an absolutely incredible collection he owns. Id say Mitsouko is the greatest perfume ever made. For the greatest perfumer I’d nominate Edmond Roudnitska.
I love Roja and his perfumes!!!! Great video!!!!!
When Roja said that he hadn’t met the person he could teach… it struck a chord with me. I’ve always believed I would be great at developing perfumes.
A wonderful and very moving presentation.
1:38:00 Roja Dove mentions the classic BRUT. I never thought I would here him talk about this fragrance.
Oh my gosh those bottles!
He kept his cool very well with his audience.
I can't believe this video has no views. Y'all need better branding, advertising, and a better image. People would love to watch this. They either don't know what they're missing, or think it isn't interesting at a glance.

Agreed (I also got into this stuff pretty recently). Best of luck with your career change!
Loved this and love Rosa....beautiful man. 💗💗💗

This genius is offering so much wealth of knowledge and history and the audience is so poorly educated in showing this gentleman the respect he has earned.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful history. I only wish I was in the audience to experience all the historic scents he shared.
Fantastic! I enjoyed this!!!!!!!
This was so interesting. It is so amazing to see the beauty and fineness of the bottles.

This was absolutely fascinating and fabulous! The knowledge and history this delightful man imparts is wonderful...
Great presentation however the audience were a bit rude. The man is talking, shut up and listen.
i just love everything classy and that is you roja dove i also love knowledge which you have giving to me here so thank you aswell as the fragrance community and i love fragrances . so thank you for expanding my knowlege of the history of fragrances roja dove
I'm absolutely mesmerized! ✨
What an energy and passion an loyalty dose Roja had to this field
The ending and scent memories is so lovely ❤
1 hr 27 min so happy Roger mentions SHOCKING by Schiaparelli
God that’s a frustrating audience. Kind of disrespectful when somebody so knowledgeable offers their time.
Sir it wasn’t Mumtaz Mahal, the queen was MUMTAZ; and mahal means a monument like that Taj Mahal
Anyways GEART LECTURE on history of perfumes!! Thanks, I wish I could smell those samples tho, a whole century depicted in front of you.
Thank you soooo much🙏
Wonderful!
This could have been ten times longer and I would have listened without break.

Good info
I can weirdly still feel british accents in the ambience during the first 3 minutes
Delightful
What a lovely man!!
A real feminist too! Bravo!
Going to get some “Goodnight KISS” sniff....
Astonishing
A Quitessential businessman in perfumery not just a master perfumer in business....Ultimate salesman.

Arab who discore perfume before 1000 years and music
French know the perfume in the 1800
You are wrong If you think Arabs invented perfumery! Archeological evidence has shown Kingdoms of Indian sub continent ( currently India) had well set up ancient perfumeries as old as 2500 years ago & possibly even older & made perfumes with rose, sandalwood,Jasmine for their Maharajas & Maharanis & the rich elite when Arabs were still living as nomads!😅 I am an archeologist who is introduced in perfumery.
This audience is infuriating with their childish conduct
Any how…….
❤❤❤ You win my hearth from the 1st breath of Ti amo...and now i am so so delighted to hear and see and feel the pleasure to that voyage du parfum ! Je suis ravie ! 💜💜💜 I wish to meet you in person and tell you about my heaven masterpiece !
“Hearth?” As in fireplace?🤣
