Roja Dove Essence de Parfum Collection..Hype or Heaven? | Perfume Collection

Subscriber request....I am responding to several subscribers who asked I review or discuss my enormous pile of discovery sets, including this one. I hesitated and at first, didn't want to do a video on this collection because I knew it would not be glowing. But I believe all "reviews" or opinions can be helpful to some....even if they are not overly positive. Here I share my opinions of this collection. Spoiler alert!! It's not ALL bad. :)

Also, I do appreciate fragrance houses that offer nice discovery sets. This one was very affordably priced at Lucky Scent if you want to try out yourself.

1). Scandal Essence
2). Reckless Essence
3). Creation-R Essence
4). Elixir Essence
5). 51 Essence
6). Creation E
7). Danger

Thanks for watching and see you next time!

All the opinions are my own and fragrances purchased by moi.

You look so beautiful Chris. Love the piano in the backgroud. I agree about the not spending if it doesnt knock your socks off. The luxury niche trend has exploded in the last 5 years. People are using the equivalent of rent money to buy something that is perfumed water... And then they need the whole collection. Nahh

Honest reviews are the most helpful! The background music is perfect and your husband is quite talented. New subscriber.

Hi Chris! Please thank your husband for the lovely music!!

Hi Chris, thank you for your honest and frank review. I note your statement as to having purchased the discovery set yourself and I think that is what sets you apart from many reviewers. I have seen so many raving reviews about the Roja perfumes. The vloggers would disclose right from the start that they have been so generously sent free bottles. At that price point, to be given a free bottle, not to mention bottles with an s, it would be very difficult to stay unbiased. I bought my own discovery set and just started today by dabbing Essence 51 on my arm. I think it is a unique scent but what you observed I also found to be true. It was gone on my skin in just one hour or even less. And while I haven't tried the rest in the kit, the longevity was discouraging. It made me so glad to have bought the discovery kit first instead of simply relying on all those reviews of free bottles. And so, I appreciate you and have now subscribed. I imagine I'd be doing a marathon of your videos in the next couple of weeks. Oh, and if you haven't, can you please do a review of Greenwich Village and Tribeca from NYC Bond No, 9, as well as the perfumes from Ostens House? All the very best to you!

Really appreciate this! Your honesty and your taste for fragrances are what keeps me watching here 😘

That piano in the background is absolutely soothing😍😍😍. This was a welcomed review as I cannot always sample all these niche and expensive fragrances🙏🙏🙏. Loved your honest opinion on all these and not singing praises for the sake of it. Stay fabulous😘😘😘.

Thank you for being honest in your reviews! I think it's easy to get carried away with a fragrance hobby and quickly jump on the bandwagon. Sometimes I step back and say, hey, we are talking about $300 plus, so let's be discerning with our purchases. Love the piano music in the

Looking forward to hearing all the discovery sets. Roja has never caught my fancy I should say; just because there are always other houses at the top of my list to try. Great music in background.🌹

Great video - very honest and informative! I too LOVE the smell of 51. However, even the parfum version of 51 feels quite light and fleeting for me (that’s the only thing holding me back from getting a bottle as I REALLY enjoy the scent)!

[babysoft]

I appreciate this informative and honest review. For some reason, Roja never interested me enough to try, despite all the positive youtube reviews, or was it because they were positive...? I noticed it too that all the reviews were positive.

[MsChumelito]

You look stunning, super sleek! 💕 Reckless is the one I like from from Roja, just own a travel size, not impressed overall with the rest either plus they don't last! Not worth the hefty price tag IMO. Thanks for your honest reviews as always!! 😊

[MelissaJean]

I’m so glad you did this collection!! Definitely helps !! I LOVE the piano ! I almost took a 💤😍

[christopherbird]

So nice to see a real review on these, the ones who got sent them all for free from roja raved about them but never mentioned them again lol they never feature in any top 10 lists

[mariac]

For the love of god, please don’t worry about offending or disagreeing. So maddening buying something someone is saying is so amazing. What a waste of I click in declutters the most lately, I’m tired of everyone loving everything! Sorry had to vent 😬

[jenestes]

I love the beautiful sound from your husband playing in the background ❤very soothing

[Moraima_Buonafede]

Great review, I’ve also been very curious about this house and it seems like 51 seems to be the one that a lot of people agree on and it’s good to know that the essence doesn’t have good longevity so food for thought definitely might need to get the Parfum instead

[marianahernandez]

Loved the piano music in the background! Thank you for the honest review! I really like Elixir but for the price the performance is disappointing.

Once again I'm catching up on your channel and commenting very late but thank you! I just received my Roja discovery set and have been a little underwhelmed. I'm wearing Elixir today (Parfum version) and had my son give his thoughts. "Pleasant and somewhat ordinary" is what he said. He thought it smelled like "regular perfume". Yes, I'm completely with you Chris. I wanted to be wowed and had looked forward to smelling something very special. While these are lovely and pleasant, none of them stand out to me as "gotta haves". I'd love to see any discovery set reviews from you! The background piano music from Pat is so beautiful! Maybe you can sway him to make an appearance one of these days!

Lovely piano in the background ❤️

Roja does advice first to apply your parfume and then to apply a lotion. I do this always with my short lasting fragrances and I really get more longevity.

I can't say anything about his brand. I found this house a bit expensive. However I find his packaging gorgeous.

I have only tried 51 and Creation E. They are beautiful fragrances! Great review!
