Im sure they use real, expensive ingredients but regardless the markup on these are way to large. Makes you really appreciate people like Aaron who are completely transparent with their expensive ingredients and price their products accordingly.
Some are worth the price, some are not. A goodnight kiss, which is well over 1,000 usd is totally worth it for the finest orris in generous quantity I have ever smelled. The AUODs to be honest are worth it if you like the other ingredients that make the composition, otherwise, you can just get a middle eastern Aoud. Amber aoud has a stunning rose in it which makes it worth the price to me.
Not gonna mark it... love the ATH fragrances, and love it when ATH takes no prisoners, independent perfumery and opinion, all day every day. Works for me. One Love.
Still have 50ml from 2020. If there ever was a legit, authentic, properly dosed, quality Oud, it's ATH for sure! That sucker lasts for days and smells deep and rich, and the price was super reasonable. Boss Bitch is another oud/rose/sandalwood masterpiece!
Thank you for the review as always! I'm excited to try this eventually, I've smelled the Amber oud one that they had in the sample box and it was pretty good. Thanks as always and congrats on 95.6 k!
i think Roja parfumes are crazy overpriced. For me they even does not cost a half what its priced. Instead of making better longevity and drop the prices they doubled up them. Its something crazy. Pure marketing
@@Noga128the cap alone costs more than that , there are about 80% naturals in Roja s fragrances and that shows in the price, in addition the bottles which are of a incredibly high quality. Please show me where and how you can produce these Fragrances for 20$. To you it might not be worth the price, but for a lot of other people it is.
Aaron is a true gentleman.Eventhough i can imagine what was going in his head,he decided to not be negative and not mark it. I guess the formulation is too simple,uninspiring and cheap for the price charged.
Roja explained in a video how he achieved the clear essence of the "Crystal Aoud," and Aaron nailed it in his first example. It fractionally altered to isolate certain aspects of the scent and color. Always appreciate ATH reviews. I own 13 frags from his 2020 era of work, many sold out and discontinued, and they're an essential part of my collection.
We need another video with your favourite fragrances at the moment Sir 😉 an update. You smell so much fragrances would be difficult for you, but it is very interesting for us that following you.
I’m not a fan of Roja. Bought a bottle and thought it fit one area of my life which I don’t do very often so I gave it to a buddy that loved it. You have every right to be an oud snob your stuff is rather good
Did you reference P- Chem?! You just made me have a flashback. Loved organic chemistry! HATED physical chemistry! Thank God I don't have to use quantum mechanics anymore!
I was completely appalled at the near €800 for such a small amount of juice. I get that it’s excellent quality but I’m almost certain most of that darkness is artificially added coloring agents which will end up staining clothes. I sprayed it on wrist in a shop so I could scrub it off in case it wasn’t to my liking, and it left a yellow spot on a white shopping bag in just a few light accidental swipes. It’s a very wearable oud for sure, but not at that price.
Interesting how you mention ethyl maltol. I swear in one of rojas videos he said that he doesn't enjoy ethyl maltol. I never tested those fragrances out but im sure it is detectable in small amounts
Imo, Roja is masterful at blending the scents, they typically perform poorly and the value ends up embarrassing. Simultaneously, Roja has hard-hitters that are nearing nuclear and offer unique profiles even in 2023. I think overall Roja is THE brand for the hardcore/rich casual crowd - rookies will go to Marly and Creed, those with deep pockets will get themselves a Roja. Is it worth it? In some cases, sure; but largely no.
I have amber aoud crystal and musk aoud crystal. They are both pretty amazing but the musk aoud is so much more versatile. The straight aoud never sounded that appealing.
I agree with what you said about people buying it because they know it's expensive, they buy it just to say they have it. I think Roja Dove creates good fragrances but he absolutely takes the piss with the price and it really isn't worth it.
I went to a shop that sells Roja fragrances in Singapore and for that price tag, i am not impressed. I like the way u breakdown the notes and construction in your videos, niche UA-cam content. I would suggest Sohan from Penhaligon for a review. See u in the next video Aaron !!
It's also crazy how many people think roja is the actual perfumer, he's the brand not the perfumer same with Tom ford etc. At least Frederick malle is humble enough to put the perfumers name on the bottle out of respect
Any hater of aaron that says he doesn't know what he is talking about please people get them to watch this video, anyone who has smelled aarons range knows that man is talented
Roja is pretentious and sadly I even think the owner is a bit pretentious aswell. The prices are bonkers and not affordable at all and I thought creed was over priced!.
@@SR009s That wasn't the whole point I was making it is more of a annyonce of the silly prices some fragrance companies charge. I feel it is mostly about prentiousness and bs marketing with unicorn crap or whatever. Obviously it is my opinion and you can have your own views on it and disagree with me.
I should have watched your review before blind buying crystal aoud. Waste of money . Pour quality fragrance. Will not even make it to designer. I’m done with this house!
I love a lot of Roja's frags but honestly I find the price completely ridiculous.
Ya I saw the price and immediately realized I probably will never get a bottle. Maybe a sample. But never the full bottle.. 760$ is just too much … 😢

That’s why discounters and fragrance groups exist.
As well as so many thinking he's the perfumer 🤣🤣

Your Oud is one of the best oud fragrance I’ve ever tried.

I much prefer Amber Aoud to this
i think Roja parfumes are crazy overpriced. For me they even does not cost a half what its priced. Instead of making better longevity and drop the prices they doubled up them. Its something crazy. Pure marketing
I bet that manufacturing one bottle of this crap doesnt cost more than like 20 bucks, its like apple in fragrance world
@@Noga128the cap alone costs more than that , there are about 80% naturals in Roja s fragrances and that shows in the price, in addition the bottles which are of a incredibly high quality.

This is the fragrance that took me down the wonderful rabbit hole of perfumery
Maybe do a comparison between the Aoud line-up: Aoud, Amber Aoud and Musk Aoud🤔.
Loved the review, thanks for educating us Aaron!
Aaron loved the Amber Aoud ones!
Aaron is a true gentleman.Eventhough i can imagine what was going in his head,he decided to not be negative and not mark it.
I guess the formulation is too simple,uninspiring and cheap for the price charged.
Always exciting when Aaron reviews a Roja!
No mark? That’s a first 🫡
Roja is my favorite house, Diaghilev & Great Britain are my top bottles
Diaghilev is absolutely perfect
Have never been a fan of Diaghilev. Great Britain is stunning, though, and Haute Luxe is still the greatest perfume I have ever smelled
Those are two of my favorites of his along with Good Night Kiss.

Roja - sweetie aoud is the only his fragrance which is worth of the money. Cause it is very unique.
a fair price would be between 150-200 for a bottle. £595 is just ridiculous
We need another video with your favourite fragrances at the moment Sir 😉 an update. You smell so much fragrances would be difficult for you, but it is very interesting for us that following you.
Wait .. what?!? There’s no ooo la la whipping through the base?!? Definitely a no go for me too 🤣🤣
Looking forward to this one 👀😁
Thanks for the review! I would love you to review Oud Maracujá by maison Crivelli it’s a really nice fruity oud combo
Thanks Aaron 😊I hope you review much more female perfumes😢 women love u come on ❤❤❤
this one is unisex
@@merlinschumacher8371 I meant female fragrances 😊
Hi Aaron, thank you for the great review, as always.
What is on your t-shirt - what kind of molecule is this?
Thanks
I’m not a fan of Roja. Bought a bottle and thought it fit one area of my life which I don’t do very often so I gave it to a buddy that loved it.

Haters still would try to say he doesn't know what he is talking about 🤣🤣 some of his range is the best out there imo
This is one of the most gorgeous masterpieces from the house in my opinion, I must say I completely disagree with this review but that is my opinion.
The quality of Aoud blows me away. Nothing comes close, an amazing fragrance.
Sounds like Roja employees are voicing their opinions
@@RogersMJPNo, I’m just a fragrance enthusiast.
@@Kasakee2that's what an employee would say...
@@RogersMJPLook at the negative loser who doesn’t achieve anything in life
I was completely appalled at the near €800 for such a small amount of juice.

NEW AARONNN

Please review roja Burlington 1819
Thank you Aaron.

Roja is not a perfumer he's the brand it's crazy how many people think he's the perfumer same with Tom ford 😂
Once I heard the pricing, I lost any interest in ever trying to acquire either of these. I'll still watch the review for educational purposes, though!
Sweetie aoud is the best one by far
I have amber aoud crystal and musk aoud crystal. They are both pretty amazing but the musk aoud is so much more versatile. The straight aoud never sounded that appealing.
The Aoud is basically the same as amber aoud but with an amped up rose
I like aoud, clean and classy, I get a bottle at low price so it's fine.But full price is just too hi, it is what it is
I love smells like Blvgari Tygar and Sauvage. What would you recommended?
I love those fragrances, both of them! Send them towards me if you don't like them and if you don't need the bottles! 😀
Check out how expensive these are in Australia.
Right. This fragrance is a very nutmeg, and oud heavy.
when are you going to ship to europe again? would love to try hard candy elixir!
I agree with what you said about people buying it because they know it's expensive, they buy it just to say they have it. I think Roja Dove creates good fragrances but he absolutely takes the piss with the price and it really isn't worth it.
I haven't found not a one roja I like
In your videos a couple years ago you used to want perfumes to have more “filth”….has that evolved or is “dirty” different than filth?
Aaron, what mic do you use?
I have this and i hate the sweetness of it. it doesnt stand upto to the hype. But then the hype for it is real. read it as you like
Roja Aoud. Easily my favourite fragrance.
I thought you liked dirty and dark??
I’ll take the Amber Oud Crystal off of your hands. I’m here for you. 😊
More Roja!!😊😍
I went to a shop that sells Roja fragrances in Singapore and for that price tag, i am not impressed.
I like the way u breakdown the notes and construction in your videos, niche UA-cam content.
I would suggest Sohan from Penhaligon for a review.
See u in the next video Aaron !!
Aaron, they keep mistakenly sending you my packages😢
Montale Pure Love
Parfums de marly Haltane please
It's also crazy how many people think roja is the actual perfumer, he's the brand not the perfumer same with Tom ford etc. At least Frederick malle is humble enough to put the perfumers name on the bottle out of respect
Roja is the perfumer of his own brand, tom ford is a designer obviously he doesnt make the perfumes.
@@renzochang2608 roja is NOT A PERFUMER, trust me on this read up on this on the fragrance forums
Any hater of aaron that says he doesn't know what he is talking about please people get them to watch this video, anyone who has smelled aarons range knows that man is talented
ROJA dove himself clear everything about COLOURLESS OUD.
ROJA is doing great job.
Roja is pretentious and sadly I even think the owner is a bit pretentious aswell. The prices are bonkers and not affordable at all and I thought creed was over priced!.
Not everything is meant to be affordable.
@@bluemystic7501 still over priced in my opinion and you can get copy cat fragrances for way cheaper.
Why must everything need to be priced according to what you can afford?
@@SR009s That wasn't the whole point I was making it is more of a annyonce of the silly prices some fragrance companies charge.

@@shanehall98 Well, often times you get what you pay for.
