Diaghilev Extrait de Parfum
Chypré : Warm & Dry - Sweet, Fruity, Spicy, Soft, & Very Sensual
“UNADULTERATED DECADENCE”
“Initially created for an exhibition on The Ballet Russes for the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, this perfume pays homage to one of the greatest forces of the twentieth century: Sergei Diaghilev. Founder of the legendary Ballet Russes, he totally re-wrote the rules of artistry and was even said to have scented the curtains of the theatre so patrons were enveloped in a burst of fragrance as they were raised at the start of the performance. A bold symphony of 32 ingredients, a floral heart of Jasmine, Tuberose, Heliotrope and Violet create a sweet and beautiful harmony which is underscored by a lively melody of fruity Blackcurrant, Peach and Citrus. Warm, earthy Patchouli and Oakmoss are joined on stage by the naughty seductiveness of Benzoin, Leather and Labdanum. An unmistakable creation, Diaghilev -much like the man himself - is too decadent to be forgotten.” - ROJA DOVE.
Diaghilev Olfactory Description
The rich deep base of Oakmoss, Vetiver, and Patchouli, is warmed by a complex blend of Sandal, Guaiac, and Cedar Woods, interspersed with spicy accents of Cumin, Clove, and Nutmeg, which are wrapped in an overtly sensual base of Vanilla, Benzoin, Peru Balsam, Styrax, leather–like Labdanum and Leather, Musk, and ultra-costly Ambrette and Ambergris. The whole counterpointed by a medley of fresh citrus fruits where Bergamot, Lemon, Lime, and Orange mingle with Tarragon, before revealing a voluptuous bouquet of Jasmine, Ylang Ylang, Tuberose, Rose, Orris, Heliotrope, and Violet with touches of fruity Peach and Blackcurrant Buds.

Parfum & Packaging – The Quintessence of Luxury
To emphasize the luxury and quality of his products, Roja Dove attaches great importance to the quality and sophistication of the packaging of his precious Roja Parfums. Roja chooses each element of the packaging personally and thereby combines infinite simplicity with infinite preciousness - to create exactly what luxury should be: true Workmanship.
To create the hand-finished flacons requires considerable skill: Each flacon is as unique as the fragrance contained within. It is made in France and the decoration of pure gold is applied in a lengthy process by hand in England. For the preparation of the closure - the leitmotif of the Roja Parfums brand, gold particles are forged in metal to create a highly reflective surface on which the brand name is printed. The closure is complemented with fourteen Swarovski crystals which are applied by hand in a five-day process. The front of each flacon is adorned with a gold label that is made in England and applied by hand. Each of these precious flacons is embedded in an equally elegant presentation box which is made by hand in England by award-winning craft artists using pro high-quality paper, some of which are made exclusively for Roja Parfums.
The contrast between the matte texture of the precious paper and the gold embossing is a perfect prelude to the violet-colored, hand-pleated silk that lines the interior. "Everything about my brand must be special, something that you will not find anywhere else. That is actually what luxury is about. "Roja Dove.
We are extremely proud that, as one of the few hand-selected perfumeries worldwide, we can now present this exclusive collection to our dear customers!
