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. But now 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 retreats 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 like the scent really well to very well, but I can't say it any other way: it's Tobacco Vanilla with a bit less sweetness, but the similarity is for me at 80-85%. I really don't want to pay over 800€ for a dupe, Tobacco Vanille seems like a bargain. Unfortunately, I have to reduce the rating by 3 points, because honestly I do not want to buy a 800€ dupe. 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 could 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 after about 6 hours.
