{"product_id":"roja-parfums-diaghilev-parfum-sample","title":"Roja Parfums Diaghilev Parfum Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eRoja Parfums Diaghilev is a theatrical chypré, a tribute to Sergei Diaghilev, founder of the Ballet Russes, first made for a Ballet Russes exhibition at London's V\u0026amp;A. The house describes a chypré accord of 33 ingredients, with a very long recorded note list from lemon and tarragon to civet. A Parfum this complex is better tried in 10 ml before you take 100 ml.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Lemon, Bergamot, Lime, Orange, Tarragon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Rose de Mai, Jasmin de Grasse, Tuberose, Ylang Ylang, Heliotrope, Violet, Blackcurrant Buds, Peach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Clove, Cumin, Nutmeg, Patchouli, Oakmoss, Vetiver, Cedarwood, Guaiacwood, Sandalwood, Benzoin, Vanilla, Peru Balsam, Orris, Styrax, Labdanum, Leather, Ambrette, Ambergris, Musk, Civet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCitrus and tarragon\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLemon, bergamot, lime and orange open it, with tarragon giving a green, faintly anise-like herbal tone. It is a bright overture rather than a sweet one. The first minutes show whether the combination of fresh citrus and herb feels elegant on you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA large floral heart\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRose de Mai, Jasmin de Grasse, tuberose, ylang ylang, heliotrope and violet fill the heart, joined by blackcurrant buds and peach. The brand's tag line is bold and theatrical, and this is the part that delivers it: flowers in volume, with a fruit edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMoss, leather and resin\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is very long, with oakmoss, patchouli, leather, labdanum, vetiver and woods, balsams and resins, vanilla, musk, ambergris and civet. It is what makes the chypré, dark, mossy and leathery. It needs a few wearings before you can say whether it suits you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTry it on a cool evening that calls for dressing up, one or two modest sprays on the chest or wrists, because a Parfum is dense. The leathery base keeps its character on skin without extra amounts. Wear it on another evening too, to see how the florals and moss meet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eListed as unisex. The brand tags it leathery, bold, unapologetic and theatrical. It suits people who like classical chypré structure with large flowers and a mossy base, and who wear scent for the theatre, formal dinners and cool evenings. A hot, busy afternoon is a poor fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Roja Parfums Diaghilev as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA chypré with more than thirty ingredients is hard to imagine from a list, and moss, leather and civet divide opinion. Because 100 ml of this Parfum is a large step, our 10 ml decant, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us, lets you judge it in several wearings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is a chypré?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA classic family of perfumes built around citrus on top, flowers in the middle and a base of oakmoss, patchouli and labdanum. Diaghilev follows that frame, with leather and many more materials added.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is in the sample vial?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 10 ml decant in a glass spray vial, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. It is not an official brand sample, and Roja Parfums is not involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it heavy or light?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeavy, in the sense of rich: a Parfum with a large floral heart and a long, mossy, leathery base. It suits cool evenings better than hot days, which a test will confirm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it for men or women?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe brand states no gender.
