Fragrance description Roja Parfums Diaghilev
Diaghilev is a chypre fragrance for men and women from the
Imperial collection of Roja Parfums, a British niche perfume
brand. Since 2007, Roja Parfums has been offering its customers a
brand new concept of luxury and sophistication in perfumery that
is fit for our modern times. It proudly bears the name of its
leading personality, one of the greatest fragrance designers in
history. Roja Dove is known for using the finest ingredients
available and for his precision and painstaking attention to
detail, as well as his personal philosophy of never settling for
less than the best. The sumptuously rich Diaghilev from Roja
Parfums is inspired by a famous Russian art critic.
Sergei Pavlovich Diaghilev, whose name the perfume bears, was an
art critic, patron, ballet impresario and founder of the most
important corps de ballet of the early 20th century. And in the
21st century, he became the inspiration for another masterpiece
by perfumer Roja Dove. “I’m immensely proud of this work,” says
Roja Dove about his perfume. “I love its voluptuous richness, its
complexity and depth, intensity and passion. I was inspired by
Diaghilev, one of the most important creative forces of the
twentieth century, a man who changed the world and rewrote all
the rules. This perfume is precisely for people like that.”
Diaghilev from Roja Parfums opens with head accords of lemon,
bergamot, lime, orange and tarragon; the heart blends in Provence
rose, jasmine from Grasse, tuberose, ylang-ylang, heliotrope,
violet, black currant buds and peach. The foundation comprises
notes of cloves, cumin, nutmeg, patchouli, oakmoss, vetiver,
benzoin, vanilla, Peru balsam, iris root, styrax, labdanum,
leather, ambrette , ambergris, musk and cedar, guaiac and
sandalwood. Diaghilev is warm, dry and sweet, spicy and delicate
and immensely .
The rich, deep base presents oakmoss, vetiver and patchouli
heated by a complex blend of precious woods mixed with spicy
accents, enveloped in a provokingly combination of
vanilla, benzoin, Peru balsam, styrax, leathery labdanum,
leather, musk and the precious ingredients ambrette and
ambergris. The fragrance is balanced by a mixture of fresh citrus
fruit blended with tarragon that reveals a seductive floral
bouquet accentuated with fruit notes. The full, extremely complex
and rich aroma strikingly combines a woody and musky character
with powdery aspects of balsam, animal notes and citrus fruit,
resulting in a fragrance that the brand’s representatives
describe as “a decadent, heady sophistication”.
The packaging of Diaghilev from Roja Parfums is luxurious. As is
the case with all the Roja Parfums fragrances, the bottle
Diaghilev comes in is a masterful, hand-finished piece made in
France from the purest glass there is. The gold label is manually
embedded in the glass in England and the gorgeous ornate cap, the
symbol of Roja Parfums, is hand-decorated with Swarovski
crystals. The Roja Parfums Diaghilev bottle is packaged in a
beautiful, lavish box.
Diaghilev from Roja Parfums is suitable for day and evening wear
throughout the year, but will shine best in the evenings of cold
months. This amazing perfume will forever win the hearts of all
lovers of original chypre and aromatic woody fragrances and all
creative personalities. Diaghilev will envelop its
