I’ll first offer that Roja Parfums Parfum de la Nuit No. 2 is preferable to No. 1. No. 2 is still sharp, with some sweet accents and woody undertones, but its sweetness is more thorough and developed from the onset to balance the sharpness.
I again attribute the sharpness to the cistus and cypriol, two notes that I’m not familiar with, but in the absence of iris or some other florals, I’m left to assume they account for the sharp, powdery edge. These elements are paired with an assortment of sweet, creamy, and boozy notes–vanilla, cocoa, tonka, benzoin, tolu balsam, and rum–as well a slight citrus opening, not strong to me, and resting on the same woody, earthy bed of vetiver, guaiac, and patchouli. It dries down even sweeter, with some of the top-heavy sharpness still lingering but ultimately a background component to the resinous, sweet, woody result.
Performance is excellent, strong projection with extreme longevity, fitting for the cost and brand.
Of course the retail price is still near-unfathomable at $1,400 for 100ml but I’m encouraged by liking this a bit more than No. 1, at least, and look forward to trying No 3.

Starts off smelling chewing gum but then it develops into something much better eventhough it stays quite gourmand with a hint of some animalic note. Beutiful.

Roja’s Nuit No.2, This scent has a lot going on but once again Roja has concocted them beautifully. This quickly goes from fruity citrus to a animalic, spicy, vanilla (labdanum). By the next morning this will have dried itself down, completely, to a perfumey labdanum fragrance. In the beginning of its transition it will have a soft resemblance to roja’s fetish pour homme but spicier. Ideal for fall/winter months, for the evenings. I see ages 40+ wear this. This is something Sherlock Holmes would wear or a fashionable, wealthy, widowed older lady. It’s a bit mysterious… A rouge, a loner, a person who lives on their own but has obtained lots of class and elegance through life experiences. This was not what I was expecting. I was expecting this to be more original, ground-breaking, but it’s not. Don’t let the price tag misguide you into thinking this is going to be something spectacular it may leave you disappointed. I can’t say this Roja’s best work but he’s put some amazing work into it. Not my choice from the Roja collection.
I think Roja’s main fragrance line for men is far better than this. This is a very strong scent becarful how much you apply.
Longevity 10/10 you’ll smells this from morning through night
Projection 10/10 will def create a draft and people will know you’re in the room

Prepare for the vitriol: Let’s talk price…The ridiculousness in price is akin to the Starbucks tip jar for drive-thru customers. This is crazy just waiting to happen. I’m a high end kind of guy but i’m not HIGH..If you know what i mean. There’s bargains then there’s bullshit. Take a guess of what side of the tracks this lies upon. This is truly a concoction created for the inner sybarite in you. There’s a certain expectation when you spray a $1400 fragrance on your arm. I want to see a ray of light shine upon my body, I want to see turtle doves fly over my head, i wanna hear the trumpets of Galilee. To my chagrin, i got an overpriced nothing burger as it pertains to price/smell/value ratio. This is a very average scent or should i say uber average. No need for me to break down the stages in which i smell the notes. I’m gonna do you guys a favor.. I’m gonna copy and paste the description above. “Rum accord is blended with cocoa at the heart of this creation, which is counterpointed by the freshness of citrus, lemon, and orange. Warmed by papyrus, patchouli, vetiver, and guaiac wood, the whole fragrance is sublimated by a soft, sensual base of cistus, labdanum, benzoin, tolu balsam, tonka bean, civet, and castoreum.” Sounds like a great fragrance right? I can assure you that this is the same ole soup just reheated. A clone of many things that i’ve tried before..The sad thing about it is….I’m Pro Roja. Smh…
