Parfum · 2020 · unisex

Roja Parfums is the niche house of British perfumer Roja Dove, one of the industry's most respected nose and a former head of fragrance at Harrods. His fragrances are known for their technical complexity and use of premium raw materials, with Burlington being a 2020 addition to his core collection in pure parfum concentration.

Burlington opens with a bright citrus blast of grapefruit, lime, and bitter orange, sharpened by mint and fresh spice. The heart settles into warm, slightly peppery notes of cumin and ginger with neroli and labdanum adding depth and a subtle floral sweetness. The base is densely layered with tobacco, oakmoss, and cashmere wood providing a woody backbone, while rum, ambergris, and musk create a warm, boozy sensuality that lingers for hours. This is a fragrance built for longevity and presence.

Burlington works best for someone seeking a sophisticated, masculine-leaning fragrance with real substance. It's equally comfortable in cooler seasons or worn in the evening, when its spiced amber and tobacco base can fully develop. The scent aligns with The Tactician, The Aristocrat, and The Homesteader.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Grapefruit
Grapefruit
Bittersweet and juicy with a faintly metallic zing that sets it apart from sweeter citrus notes. Grapefruit is uniquely energising, it reads as clean and modern rather than traditionally 'citrusy.' It pairs effortlessly with musks, making it a staple of office-safe, all-day fragrances.
Mint
Mint
Cool, sharp, and immediately recognizable, mint adds a clean, almost medicinal freshness that cuts through heavier notes. Spearmint is sweeter; peppermint is sharper. Either way, mint gives fragrances a lively, brisk quality that reads as alert and outdoorsy. Best used as an accent rather than a lead to avoid smelling like toothpaste.
Lime
Lime
Crisper and greener than lemon, with a faint bitterness that keeps it from smelling like a cocktail mixer. Lime zest has a raw, almost herbaceous quality that pairs naturally with aquatic and green accords. It signals freshness and informality, the note of beach bars and gym-fresh colognes.
Bitter Orange
Bitter Orange
Mandarin Orange
Mandarin Orange
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
cumin
cumin
Warm, earthy, and slightly animalic, cumin is one of perfumery's most controversial spice notes because it has a distinctly body-heat quality. In small amounts it adds authentic warmth and depth; in larger doses it becomes sweaty and challenging. Used masterfully in masculine orientals and in Middle Eastern-inspired fragrances.
ginger
ginger
Warm, zesty, and slightly medicinal with a bite that sits between spice and citrus. Ginger root adds a lively, invigorating quality to fragrances, it energises rather than soothes. Depending on how it's used, it can read as fresh and zingy or warm and earthy, making it unusually versatile across fragrance families.
labdanum
labdanum
A resin from the rock rose plant with a dark, animalic, honeyed quality that anchors many classic oriental fragrances. Labdanum is simultaneously leathery and sweet, with a raw complexity that synthetic materials struggle to match. It's a cornerstone of amber accords and chypre compositions.
neroli
neroli
Distilled from bitter orange blossoms, neroli sits at the intersection of citrus and floral, bright and slightly waxy, with a honeyed depth that other citrus notes lack. It's one of the most complex natural ingredients in perfumery, simultaneously fresh and rich. A little neroli makes almost any fragrance feel expensive.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Ginger
Ginger
Warm, zesty, and slightly medicinal with a bite that sits between spice and citrus. Ginger root adds a lively, invigorating quality to fragrances, it energises rather than soothes. Depending on how it's used, it can read as fresh and zingy or warm and earthy, making it unusually versatile across fragrance families.
Rum
Rum
Sweet, slightly smoky, and warm, the distilled essence of sugarcane adds a tropical, slightly boozy warmth to orientals and leather fragrances. It has a brown-sugar, molasses quality with a gentle spirit-like shimmer. Often found alongside tobacco and wood notes to create warm, convivial compositions.
Ambergris
Ambergris
One of perfumery's most storied materials, a waxy substance produced by sperm whales with a uniquely salty, sweet, earthy quality. Real ambergris is nearly unobtainable; most perfumers use synthetic alternatives. It adds a marine warmth and incredible fixative quality, making fragrances smell more 'alive' and skin-like.
Tobacco
Tobacco
Rich, sweet, slightly smoky and earthy, tobacco in perfumery is the idealized version: dried, cured, and faintly honeyed rather than ashy and stale. It adds a deep, contemplative warmth to oriental and woody fragrances. Tobacco fragrances feel settled and confident, the scent of someone who's entirely comfortable in their own skin.
Oakmoss
Oakmoss
The defining ingredient of classic chypre perfumery, damp, forest-floor earthy with a faint bitterness and incredible complexity. Real oakmoss is now heavily restricted by IFRA regulations, which is why vintage chypres smell so different from modern ones. When present, it creates a raw, outdoorsy anchor that no synthetic fully replicates.
Cashmere Wood
Cashmere Wood
Cumin
Cumin
Warm, earthy, and slightly animalic, cumin is one of perfumery's most controversial spice notes because it has a distinctly body-heat quality. In small amounts it adds authentic warmth and depth; in larger doses it becomes sweaty and challenging. Used masterfully in masculine orientals and in Middle Eastern-inspired fragrances.
Patchouli
Patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Cedar
Cedar
Cinnamon
Cinnamon
Sweet, warm, and instantly comforting, cinnamon bark has a familiar warmth that slides easily into oriental and gourmand fragrances. Used sparingly it adds a pleasant warmth; used heavily it can dominate. It has a slightly sharp, peppery facet alongside its sweetness that keeps it from being purely foodie.
Benzoin
Benzoin
Sweet, warm, and balsamic, benzoin resin smells like vanilla mixed with incense, with a powdery, slightly medicinal edge. It adds a comforting warmth and fixative quality to oriental fragrances, and blends beautifully with spices. Often used to smooth and round off sharp edges in complex base notes.
Vanilla
Vanilla
Warm, sweet, and universally appealing, vanilla is to fragrance what salt is to cooking. Real vanilla is complex and slightly smoky, though most perfumery vanilla is synthetic and reads as clean, sweet, and creamy. It slows the evaporation of other notes and is the reason certain fragrances feel like a second skin.
Saffron
Saffron
The most expensive spice in the world has a leathery, honeyed, slightly metallic quality that is immediately recognizable. In perfumery, saffron adds a dark, animalic richness, it's the note that gives oud-rose fragrances their distinctive regal depth. A little goes a long way; too much reads as medicinal.
Labdanum
Labdanum
A resin from the rock rose plant with a dark, animalic, honeyed quality that anchors many classic oriental fragrances. Labdanum is simultaneously leathery and sweet, with a raw complexity that synthetic materials struggle to match. It's a cornerstone of amber accords and chypre compositions.
