roja seems genuine. whenever i see him interview i always feel better about giving him all of my money. i am just a cook so roja parfums are a real treat
I must confess... I'm generally not the biggest fan of Roja Parfums... but Diaghilev to me is a true masterpiece. In spite of the outrageous price point, I may have to get myself a bottle.. some day. Also, Roja himself is fabulous and I absolutely adore his style and demeanor.
Roja is a wealth of information and a natural communicator 🙏this was a fascinating watch 👀 what a story behind these. I own 3 from roja , Fetish ,diaghilev & elysium.
Chris, I saw this video last year. Too bad I didn't comment then. This is the most inspiring short fragrance interview video I've seen in fragcom. Mr. Dove should consider doing a follow-up visit with you. You are just perfect for this. I don't know if you'd consider polling your subscribers to get him back by popular demand. He is a magnificent human being.
you are literally the best fragrance reviewer, much better then jeremy etc, you have your own vibe and professionalism in it. Keep on work can't wait for your fragrance release
This video is priceless. Roja is such an engaging character, there's no snobbery or arrogance about him, his warmth and enthusiasm are infectious. I have watched your videos on Roja fragrances with great interest, and enjoyment, even though I'll never be able to afford to buy the fragrances (maybe if I sell the house lol). They are, like many of your videos, quite simply great viewing! (Mas too is a very engaging guest.) But I'm posting this comment because I wanted to suggest (if you're reading this) that you do another video with Roja. He's fascinating and informative, and it's obvious that he was really well disposed towards you, can't help thinking that he would be happy to shoot another video with you. You could discuss not only more of his fragrances but also perfumery in general, and his life/career. And yours too, why not!
Perfection. It turned out even better than I imagined. Only one problem: I wished the vídeo was 2 hours long. One of if not the best review/interview/first impressions vídeo I've seen. Fantastic job brother.
I wish it could have been longer! Thanks for the prep on this one mate. In the end I flipped it into a Top 5 minutes before I met Roja. In the end I think it worked out best for everyone.
I love his personality. Can’t wait to be somewhere where I can smell Roja’s creations. They are at the price range where I need to smell before I purchase.
What a kaleidiscope of fragrance description Roja perfumes. Thank you for this journey that challenge the olfactory sense and the beautiful memories associated. Marvelous description of this 5 fragrances .thank you
Unusually I shy away from such high End fragrances. But, the way he described. “Great Britain”. Wow sold. I can smell it from his powerfully elegant words.
Incredible content again Chris, Roja's enthusiasm is contagious! He absolutely loves what he does and is still humble about it. The connection between the 2 of you was there for all to see - can't wait to tune in to FM again 😂
Just Brilliant, Roja is a fascinating man, a British icon for creativity. Wonderful job Chris in securing the interview, the story’s he weaves around his Scents are so imaginative Your emotive responses were spot on, love his shirt too!!.
I've watched numerous interviews w/ RD & he comes off as incredibly likable & it's not phony in the sense like he's doing this for the camera, more so than this is who he is which is great to see.
Amazing how lucky you were to have this experience. Now my favorite house for multiple reasons. Roja has a warm heart and reflects that into his work in creating his wonderful fragrances. 👍
I enjoy every single second of this video. The passion, the love, the joy for perfume from Mr Roja really does overwhelm me. An absolute pleasure to watch. Thank you Chris for this stunning video :)
I loved this video.. This is the second video I've watched which you produced and I'm impressed with your articulation. Roja Dove seems to be very down to earth. Great perfumer which is an extention of his persona.
Loved this video, the stories behind fragrances are so interesting and are exactly like a photo or video but in the form of scent. The chemistry in this video between you both I found to be enchanting and extremely natural like two friends sharing experiences, it definitely didn’t have the perfumer and interviewer feel.This is one of my favourite of all time videos of yours because of the perfect ambience it relays ,another gem not only for you to treasure but for us all to enjoy also 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks so much Nigel, that means a lot. I had a great time meeting Roja and it's down to him that there is an easy going and relaxed atmosphere. I love that my channel is a sort of document of all these great experiences I'm having. If nothing else it's nice for the Grand children to watch one day 🙂
Love this guy! Good to know he uses more than 80% natural oils. Purple is also my favorite color. Good to see it incorporated into the bottles and juice color
What a interesting and lovely man. I love to listen to him. He truly is a genuine genius. I am lucky enough to have half a dozen of his wonderful fragrances. I have been obsessed with fragrances for many years and this is the first time I have ever left a comment because it is such a brilliant interview.
At first, I saw the length of the video and thought I would jump through to the important time stamps, but after a bit of hearing Roja speak I found myself watching every second of the video. I would love to have Roja Parfums in my collection one day
Diaghilev Oligarch H the Aoud Musk Aoud Vetiver Extract Amber Aoud was a long time favourite and no doubt will be again. RP will always be my fav brand
I could hear him communicate for hours. Roja is truly a beautiful human being. He is a master at his craft and has the most wonderful aura and spirit. His speech is flawless! And his creations Impeccable ♥️
My goal is to own a Roja Dove fragrance one day! I love the chemistry and friendship between the two of you. This man deserves the support and his passion for fragrances shines through and through. And of course, you already have my support and subscription, Chris! I’ve loved fragrances my whole life. Thank you so much for bringing us this content!
@@FRAGMENTAL Don't mention it. Roja seems like he's very easy to get along with. Also, thank you for putting me on to Roja Dove's fragrances. I'm unsure as to how I would discover his brand otherwise.
Have not purchased his line yet. Can’t wait to be part of the family. My father when I was around 4 yrs if age would apply aftershave on himself then he would apply some to my skin. Ever since I’ve been captivated by fragrances.
Excellent Video Chris , I love the fact Roja gives up time (has done with a few reviewers) to make content with you. Roja,s Partum's are the Penfolds Grange - Rolls Royce of fragrance world.
Wonderful, Roja is a pleasure to listen to. The enthusiasm, story and knowledge he has just makes me want to try them all. And off-course buy into his wonderful brand! Must pick up a Roja fragrance soon👍
Totally agree Roja is maybe the only fragrance that really performs different on skin. Huge fan of his well done blend that give always different vibes during the way to drydown. I have Elysium and a decant of Enigma because I'm not a big fan of this scent , but it's just a matter of personal taste too much flowery , the opening of roja parfumes is a magical experience everyone should try if you love scents.
Just got my first discovery set of Rojas Parfums and sniffed some of the mentioned fragrances while listening to you guys. Its such a nice first try, because I got Rojas thoughts on it while enjoying it.
I can listen to Roja Dove talk all day long! I think he's an absolute Genius and I love his work...he is so passionate about his creations and I just have to take a seat and really appreciate how much love and creativity is involved in creating these captured memories in a bottle
It's funny you mention you played Demetrius in a Midsummer Night's Dream. In 2004, I played Oberon in my city during our Shakespeare in the Park series. In 2002, I met my wife doing another Shakespeare play, Taming of the Shrew. She played Katerina (The Shrew) and I played Lucentio, the one wooing Katerina's sister Bianca.
Great interview, I enjoyed listening to him about how he creates his fragrances. Seems like a very cool man. Thanks Chris for doing this. Have a great Sunday bro!✌
Just been watching John McLean talking about a midnight kiss....and I have realised so many connections have happened for me on this day...... definitely have to try these perfumes ...thank you
Roja is truly a genius, a treasure, and above all that, an amazing person. I really appreciate him doing this, and I thank you for bringing this to us! The conversation felt very natural, and Roja is just fucking amazing. Every 2 minutes I would just realize whom I'm hearing speak, and it makes me smile every time.
Only can say thank you for this video. I am amazed of knowing Roja in person and his stories. This is the biggest luxury I have in my fragance exerience. Thank you again
Roja is a natural artist, you can feel the fluidity of his mind and soul within his creation in addition to highest levels of quality when it comes to materials. An accord of impressive simple, humble and genius in the same time.
Thats a BOSS MOVE! Get the man who created the fragrances to come on the channel and talk about his work. NICE!
It was such a honour I can tell you.
Absolutely loved this. I didn’t expect anything otherwise. Thanks, Chris.
Glad you enjoyed it Justin. I could have easily made this an hour long video! Roja is a fascinating storyteller.
I LOVE to listen to him telling his stories and inspirations. Enjoyed this so much! Thank you so much for the Video :)
He's an amazing storyteller. Glad I could share his stories with you
Im still listening to him and learning
I truly love hearing Roja explain his scents, there’s so much passion there it’s very alluring to know how much he truly pours into all his work.
roja seems genuine. whenever i see him interview i always feel better about giving him all of my money. i am just a cook so roja parfums are a real treat
The ultimate salesman of his own product. Looking forward to the Diaghilev experience.
I wonder how less extroverted and charismatic perfumers but with more talent would do in this world?
He is sooo humble. You were very lucky to have him. It was very interesting to hear the story from the originator. Thank you 😊
He truly is a man of passion isn't he...smashing video, Chris! :)
Thank you
This conversation changed my perspective about kissing my daughter before bedtime. Thank you!
This video is one of the best frag videos on youtube. Inspiring, interesting and mesmorizing. He is such a genuine person.
How nice of you to give it that accolade. I'm thrilled you enjoyed it!
Digahilev is a Masterpiece fragrance. The words he chose to describe it: Perfect. Everytime I wear it I love it more and more.
Agreed Nikhil. On every wearing I'm wowed!
Perfume Guru India I miss your English videos brother. Hope to see you back someday and wishing you all the best.
Is it suit warm or cold weather?
Diaghilev my number 1 fragrance I tried mitsouko parfum and Diaghilev light years ahead
Did you mean Mitsouko is a masterpiece fragrance? Diaghilev is just a high-end copy of it, nothing more.
I must confess... I'm generally not the biggest fan of Roja Parfums... but Diaghilev to me is a true masterpiece. In spite of the outrageous price point, I may have to get myself a bottle.. some day. Also, Roja himself is fabulous and I absolutely adore his style and demeanor.
Roja is a wealth of information and a natural communicator 🙏this was a fascinating watch 👀 what a story behind these.
I own 3 from roja , Fetish ,diaghilev & elysium.
He certainly speaks very passionately about his brand. Extremely interesting man.
@Scott Geoffrey Agreed
Enigma pour home and Fetish (•‿•)
OMG! I was searching for Roja reviews on UA-cam but I don't expect to see this review from the creator Roja Dove. What a Honor.😍🥰😘
Great video 🙌🏽
Honestly Roja Dove is an amazing perfumer, his fragrances are incredible! I bought my 1st Roja fragrance, Elysium almost a week ago.
I only just discovered this very video. Roger is so polite and down-to-earth and easy to chat to. What a gentleman.
A preciously valued documentary. The best perfume you tube review I have ever seen. Congratulations
The way he describes his scents , is just lovely.
At first was thinking it’s edited picture for thumbnail... great video... thumbs up 👍
My plan worked 😉
I can't take my eyes off this wonderful, fantastic, genius of a human being!!!
Thanks. Roja is pretty cool too!
@@FRAGMENTAL Ha! Sorry Chris, that was very rude of me! You are cool too and never miss a vid mate!
In fact I think it was you who got me into Roja's work in the first place! (Now a proud owner of Oceania and Elysium!)
His Diamond Bracelet and jewelry had me hypnotized! Definitely VVS quality with the sparkles ✨

I have acquired a small collection of Roja Dove Fragrances & Diagheliv will be my next purchase. I can really appreciate the complexity of his blends.
you are literally the best fragrance reviewer, much better then jeremy etc, you have your own vibe and professionalism in it. Keep on work can't wait for your fragrance release

Roja quite frankly u r best story teller loved this interview . My favorite is Elysium

Oh, it’s Roger Dove’s favorite 5! Awesome. Did not expect that!
Suprise!
Wow! My Mother's sent Shalimar,buy Guerlain... Lol it was 50's for me. Makes me smile.... Love you guys!
I could hear him communicate for hours.
Roja is truly a beautiful human being. He is a master at his craft and has the most wonderful aura and spirit. His speech is flawless! And his creations Impeccable ♥️
Going to Dubai tomorrow. Proposing to the missus on sunday at the Burj Khalifa. Will be wearing Haute Luxe for sure! Feels like pure gold in a bottle
Great location. Good luck!
I've learned so much just listening to him talk.

One of the most fascinating things in the world is listening to a passionate expert talking about their subject.
It’s so nice to listen to him!
We need a part 2

Awesome!! You two could do a show together! You both seem so comfortable talking to each other. Thank you, Chris!
He was very enjoyable company
what an amazing guest to have on your channel. a real pleasure.
I was very lucky!
I will happily buy a product crafted by such a genuine and passionate person
Great insight to another world, this is way above what i usually try/buy but if i ever pass a roja display i now know what to sample.
Oh you must Alistair! These scents are another level!
It only shows you how Passionately, Emotionally involved with his craft. Very Sophisticated Gentleman.
His class n humbleness makes me buy all his fragrances. What a phuken legend Roja is. 😲😲😲😲😲😲😲

Great video Chris can't believe I'm only just getting to this one 👍🏼
Excellent Video Chris , I love the fact Roja gives up time (has done with a few reviewers) to make content with you. Roja,s Partum's are the Penfolds Grange - Rolls Royce of fragrance world.
He dedicates a lot of time to us and I'm sure everyone is very grateful for that.
Which 1 of the 5 was your Favourite ? which 1 would you most likely wear regularly ?@@FRAGMENTAL
Great video! I played Puck at theatre summer camp when I was a kid
Puck is a great role. I bet you killed it Carlos!
This was really enjoyable. What a great personality he has. I'm eagerly awaiting my Roja spring/summer sample collection.
Outstanding and informative interview. Getting these back stories really delves deeper than the standard reviews. Keep up the great work.
Thank you Greg
Wonderful, Roja is a pleasure to listen to. The enthusiasm, story and knowledge he has just makes me want to try them all. And off-course buy into his wonderful brand! Must pick up a Roja fragrance soon👍

@@FRAGMENTAL I would love to meet him one day
Thanks for this review Chris! Great to see a master perfumer being so generous with his time!

A very good video about roja perfumes. Maybe after this, I will buy diaghilev. Now I have elysium and enigma. Huzzah!

Very interesting in depth interview. you conducted it perfectly. an truly educational fragrance video
Thank you 🙂
I really shows what kind of person Roja is when someone so brilliant gets giddy when asked to visit places . What an honor ! My fave is Sweetie Aoud 😍
He's such a humble fellow. Amazing how the reputation of his brand has grown so much in only seven or eight years!
What a remarkable video!
