Roja Parfums: Qatar
I remember going to Bergdorf Goodman (you know, shoes) a few years ago and walking by a little stand displaying Roja perfumes, the UAE flag on top of the cap of one of the bottles immediately got my attention, so I stopped to smell, we all know by now that I love Arabic perfumes because many of them are made with OUD, to me, the most sophisticated, captivating, mysterious and sensual scent ever! Oud makes me feel powerful and sexy, unforgettable (lol) that powerful perfumes are to me. From that day I have been pursuing working with the brand until I finally landed them and with it the beautiful scent Qatar from their gulf collection'; the bottle is a work of art, a jewel and the box worthy of keeping.
You would think that Qatar is a strong perfume, I expected that, but surprisingly, it isn’t, I would wear it during the day for sure, not that I care either, I have worn my Oud Ispahan by Dior during the day many times (lol) and that one is a shoot straight to your nose and senses. Qatar is very leathery and refined, I could swear they added a touch of vanilla to soften the power of the Oud, to me is like an everyday perfume that still keeps the sophisticated feeling of the Oud.
