Manhattan in detail
Roja Parfums, Roja Dove's London house, devotes several fragrances to places. Manhattan pays tribute to New York: Roja Dove, who signs its perfumer's text, describes it as an ample, contrasting accord. Volute files it among ambers, for its spicy, vanilla, resinous base.
The official pyramid opens with bergamot, lavender and basil, an aromatic start. The heart gathers May rose, jasmine, heliotrope, violet and coconut. The very rich base pairs ginger, pink pepper, cinnamon, clove, patchouli, oakmoss, tobacco, vetiver, cedarwood, pine, benzoin, vanilla and musk.
Manhattan is an evening scent for autumn and winter. Its long list of spices and woods makes it a rich, dense fragrance, best reserved for cooler days.
