This is a absolutely beautiful and haunting scent. It’s soft and not overpowering to me. It is definitely jammy rose and inscence but very calming. I only have a sample but I would make this my signature if I could. There is a slight cotton candy vibe but it’s relaxing and the perfume invites you in. It’s dark yet light and deep. I smell rose, incense, and jam with this but it somehow is dark and haunting and I love it .

Roja Parfums’ Qatar reminds me most closely (in this collection) of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as it is a rose/oud with some sweetness but not as significant as the fruity sweetness of Kuwait.
Qatar will likely be lovable to rose/oud fans like me, and starts off as a mild rose/oud blend, slightly sweet and slightly powdery, with a certain spiciness that I might attribute to the clove or possibly patchouli. It gradually becomes sweeter, the idea of the cotton candy emerging more so over a few hours. It dries down more thoroughly into a candyish, powdery, rosy blend without much oud or spices at all.
The performance is very strong, with well above average projection and extreme longevity.
I hold Qatar in high regard, much like UAE and Saudi Arabia, a very agreeable rose/oud scent with a bit of sweetness that emerges in the dry down. Roja’s quality and sophistication shine through, as usual, and the hefty price tag of $550 for 50ml.

You’re on your way to lunch on a hot and sunny day, and your girlfriend stops you so that she can grab some cotton candy on the street, and you pause, because that’s odd, right? You then make your way out into a city garden and sit on a sun-soaked wooden bench, surrounded from behind by jasmine and roses. You start slicing up some pears to begin your meal, but she stops you again – this time, to trade you her cotton candy for your pears. As she reaches across your lap, you catch the scent of the back of her neck, thick with sweat and faint vanilla from the cologne she used that morning. When you finish your lunch and get up to go, you offer to carry her leather purse, and she kisses you in return. Qatar by Roja Dove.

This is a beautiful opulent composition! A real oriental with a slight animalic musc oud combo in the opening similar to the one used by Fragrance Du Bois in their masterpiece Sahraa Oud. Try on your skin before you buy.

A deep, rich, luscious rose oud with magnificent sillage. Imagine Nombre Noir with a prominent oud note. Love this.

This is too sticky sweet to me, like some cheap Middle Eastern fragrances.
