Description
Lost In Paris by ROJA London is a luxurious gourmand candle, an olfactive love letter to the enchanting spirit of Paris at night, capturing a sense of indulgent decadence. It opens with a vibrant burst of zesty oranges, which then caramelize beautifully with rich butter and brown sugar accords, reminiscent of a freshly made crêpe Suzette. This sweet heart melts into a sensual base of warm vanilla bourbon, ambergris, and soft cashmere woods, creating a sophisticated and comforting aroma that lingers elegantly. The scent evokes a moment of exquisite pleasure, blending haute luxury with street-side joy. Perfumer: Roja Dove
