Roja Dove Manhattan EDP 1ml decant

Manhattan is a luxurious niche fragrance created by British perfumer Roja Dove for the Roja Parfums house. The composition belongs to the oriental-spicy fragrance group and was launched in 2022. It is a unisex perfume, suitable for both men and women, however, due to its rich spicy, woody, and tobacco accents, it is often perceived as a more expressive and charismatic fragrance with a slight masculine character.

The fragrance is inspired by the atmosphere of New York — the city that never sleeps.

Its idea conveys the energy of a big metropolis, where luxury and dynamism combine with a sense of strength, ambition, and freedom. The composition creates an image of a modern city with its contrasts — elegant and at the same time audacious.

The composition opens with a fresh and aromatic accord.

The top notes feature bergamot, lavender, and basil. This combination creates a bright and energetic opening, where the freshness of citrus harmoniously intertwines with herbaceous spice. This scent resembles morning Manhattan — clean, invigorating, and full of movement.

The heart of the composition

The heart of the fragrance reveals a rich floral-creamy composition. Here, May rose, Grasse jasmine, heliotrope, violet, and coconut are featured. This combination gives the fragrance softness, depth, and a slight sweetness. Floral notes add elegance, and the coconut hue creates a creamy, slightly gourmand warmth.

The base of the fragrance forms a rich and long-lasting sillage.

It combines tobacco, vanilla, patchouli, oakmoss, vetiver, and cedar, complemented by spicy notes of ginger, cinnamon, clove, and pink pepper. Benzoin and musk give the composition velvety smoothness and depth, creating a rich, warm, and very expressive finish.
