Description
Qatar by ROJA London is a truly indulgent and opulent fragrance that takes you on a sensory journey with a modern gourmand twist. It opens with a bright, fresh burst of citrus notes, quickly transitioning into a rich heart where a bouquet of delicate florals like Rose de Mai, Jasmine de Grasse, and Violet mingle with the juicy sweetness of Peach and Pear. The scent then settles into a deep, complex base, where warm woods like Cedar, Sandalwood, and Aoud are softened by a playful Candyfloss accord, rich resins, and the rare, sensual warmth of Ambergris and Musk. This creates a luxurious and captivating aroma that is both sweet and sophisticated, making it perfect for those who appreciate a lavish yet approachable scent experience. Perfumer: Roja Dove
