Roja Parfums is the independent fragrance house founded by Roja Dove, one of the industry's most respected perfumers and consultants. Known for uncompromising quality and distinctive compositions, Roja creates fragrances in high concentrations with serious longevity and projection.

De La Nuit No 1 opens with bergamot before settling into a rich heart of guaiac wood, clove, and patchouli, rounded out by cedar, vetiver, and saffron. The base is where this fragrance reveals its true character, combining labdanum, benzoin, and tolu balsam with castoreum and civet for animalic depth, finishing with vanilla and tonka bean for warmth. The overall profile is decidedly amber and gourmand, but tempered by woody and warm spicy elements that prevent it from becoming cloying. It's a sophisticated composition that walks a careful line between sweetness and earthiness.

This works best for those who appreciate nuanced fragrances with complexity and aren't seeking something immediately approachable. It's suitable year-round, though its creamy warmth makes it particularly compelling in cooler months or evening wear. If you're drawn to The Reverie, The Seducer, and The Romantic, this fragrance deserves your attention.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Guaiac Wood
Guaiac Wood
Smoky, slightly rosy, and dry, guaiac wood has a gentle, transparent smokiness that doesn't overwhelm. It's often used to add a campfire-distant quality to woody or oriental fragrances without going full leather or incense. One of perfumery's more understated and quietly beautiful materials.
Clove
Clove
Intensely aromatic and medicinal with a sharp, almost numbing warmth, clove is one of perfumery's most assertive spice notes. It appears in classic oriental and masculine fragrances where its forcefulness is a feature, not a bug. Even in small amounts it announces itself clearly, adding drama and depth.
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.
Vetiver
Vetiver
Earthy, smoky, and complex, vetiver root is extracted from a grass native to India and has a scent that is simultaneously rooty, woody, and slightly lemony. It's one of perfumery's great base notes: tenacious, unisex, and endlessly adaptable. A fragrance built around vetiver feels grounded and deeply confident.
Cedar
Cedar
Papyrus
Papyrus
The ancient reed plant of the Nile Delta has a dry, earthy, slightly smoky, and faintly aquatic character in perfumery. Papyrus evokes ancient Egypt and desert riverbanks, adding a distinctive dry, almost dusty quality to woody and earthy compositions. It has a scholarly, antiquarian character that makes it uniquely evocative.
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.
Base · 3–12 hrs
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.
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.
Tolu Balsam
Tolu Balsam
A warm, sweet, vanilla-like resin from a South American tree with a cinnamon-adjacent character and a slightly smoky depth. Tolu balsam has been used in perfumery for centuries as a fixative, adding a rich, balsamic warmth that blends naturally with orientals and florals. It is closely related to Peru balsam and benzoin in its warm, sweet character.
Castoreum
Castoreum
One of perfumery's most storied animalic materials, castoreum comes from the scent glands of the North American beaver. It has a complex profile: leathery, slightly smoky, and sweet, with a warm, skin-like quality. Natural castoreum is rarely used today (ethical concerns); synthetic versions recreate its distinctive warmth in classic leather fragrances.
Civet
Civet
An animalic note with a raw, musky, slightly fecal quality that might sound unappealing but adds extraordinary depth and sensuality in small amounts. Natural civet is no longer used (it was obtained unethically); modern substitutes are kinder but similarly provocative. A hallmark of classic Chanel and Guerlain fragrances.
Styrax
Styrax
A complex resin with both balsamic-sweet and slightly rubbery, leathery facets, styrax adds a dense, heavy warmth to oriental fragrances. It has an almost tar-like quality that, in context, creates depth and presence. One of the oldest perfumery ingredients, it anchors many classic oriental bases.
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.
Tonka Bean
Tonka Bean
Sweet, powdery, and almond-like with hay-like, slightly tobacco undertones, tonka bean is one of perfumery's most useful base notes. It shares coumarin with fresh hay and freshly cut grass, adding a warmth that feels nostalgic and comforting. Essential in gourmand and soft oriental fragrances.
