Roja Dove Scandal Pour Home Parfum Cologne
Not quite as laughable as other Rojas.

Ultravisitor, May I ask if is this fragrance heavy on the rock rose/laudanum component. I’ve read reviews that talk about a fresh lime peppery opening that melds into a warmer fougere oriental amber pine resin. . , some reviews compare it to Creed aventus which I’m not sure I understand as my Recollection of aventus is lighter with some pineapple opening. . . However, I only have an older decant of the latter. I enjoy wearing unisex fragrances but have not reached for classic men’s scents in some time. . .Clive Christian Rock Rose

Roja Dove worked for many years at Guerlain, and many of his perfumes are very, very, very heavily "inspired" by classic Guerlains. Roja Dove's perfumes are very refined works, but Guerlain is literally one of the most important perfume houses in existence, and their classics can be had for 1/20th the price of what Roja Dove charges for his copies. He even encouraged Francis Kurkdijian to raise his prices on his MFK line in order to generate sales. Just...no.What do you mean laughable?
Laudanum? You mean labdanum? It's not so heavy on labdanum at all on my skin. I don't think it's really similar to Aventus at all.Ultravisitor, May I ask if is this fragrance heavy on the rock rose/laudanum component.
