Nothing new..
Roja Manhattan was my test candidate today. I was very curious how Roja Dove will interpret the motto Manhattan. Fragrances with a geographical motto I always find very difficult to create, because the impression of a place can be very variable and different. Now but enough boring gibberish from me.
Manhattan has a tangy top note with bergamot and lavender which I find good. After 2-3 minutes, the fresh withdraws and makes way for the sweet and dark notes. Here I can detect the following: Tonka bean, tobacco, vanilla, cinnamon, light patchouli, some woods and musk.
I really like the scent to very good, but I can not say it differently: it is Tobacco Vanilla with a little less sweetness, but the similarity is for me at 80-85%. Over 800€ for a dupe I really do not want to pay, there Tobacco Vanilla seems like a bargain. Unfortunately, I must therefore reduce the rating by 3 points, because honestly I do not want to acquire a 800€ Dupe me. This can of course see everyone as he / she wants, but I am therefore not convinced of Roja Manhattan.
The durability is solid, but here it should have been more. After a little over 8 hours Manhattan is already gone on my skin. The silage is always a little under an arm's length and becomes skin tight after about 6 hours.
Edit 10/16/2021: The lavender note I now feel as yet more present than I had noted more of in my notes on Manhattan. Therefore, there is now one point more, because the similarity to Tobacco Vanilla has reduced again through this.
