2017 · unisex

Roja Parfums, the British niche house founded by Roja Dove, is known for uncompromising quality and complex compositions. This 2017 release celebrates the UAE with a fragrance that bridges Eastern and Western sensibilities through carefully selected ingredients.

United Arab Emirates opens with artemisia and bergamot, immediately establishing a fresh, slightly herbaceous character. The heart expands into a floral-spiced arrangement anchored by rose de mai, jasmine, and ylang-ylang, with clove and cassis adding warmth and dark fruit notes. The base is where the composition reveals its true character, with oud and patchouli providing woody richness, while benzoin, guaiac wood, and olibanum create a resinous, almost incense-like foundation. Cumin and pink pepper add subtle spice throughout, keeping the fragrance from becoming too soft or conventional.

This is a sophisticated, unisex fragrance that rewards close attention. It works best for those comfortable with oud-forward compositions and appreciate the interplay between floral elements and woody-spicy base notes. Best suited to cooler months or evening wear, when its depth and complexity shine. If you enjoy fragrances with mystical, earthy qualities, explore The Mystic, The Homesteader, and The Cipher.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified

Artemisia
Artemisia
The wormwood family, artemisia adds a dry, herbal, slightly bitter greenness that evokes wild Mediterranean hillsides and ancient apothecaries. It's the botanical that gives absinthe its distinctive aura. In perfumery it grounds compositions in something honest and slightly difficult, which makes them feel more real.
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
Cassis
Cassis
The French name for blackcurrant, cassis has a dark, distinctive fruitiness with a slightly catty, herbal edge that makes it unlike any other berry. It's more complex than blackcurrant juice: both sharp and rich, with an almost savory depth. A signature opening note of certain classic and contemporary fragrances.
Cloves
Cloves
Geranium
Geranium
Green, rosy, and slightly minty, geranium is one of perfumery's most useful ingredients, sitting at the intersection of floral, herbal, and green families. Rose geranium adds a natural, slightly ragged freshness to rose accords that synthetic rose can't match. It grounds floral compositions in something earthy and real.
Jasmine
Jasmine
Intoxicating, heady, and slightly animalic, jasmine is one of the few flowers that smells as rich in a bottle as it does climbing a garden wall at dusk. It has an almost fleshy, indolic quality that stops it reading as purely 'clean.' Jasmine is a workhorse in both feminine and masculine perfumery, adding depth and soul.
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.
Rose De Mai

Agarwood (Oud)
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.
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.
Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha
Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha
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.
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.
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.'
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.
Olibanum
Olibanum
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.
Pink Pepper
Pink Pepper
Fruity, slightly rosy, and gently spiced, pink pepper is softer and more aromatic than black pepper. It occupies a unique space between citrus, floral, and spice families, which makes it exceptionally versatile. You'll find it in contemporary fresh fragrances where it adds lift and personality without aggression.
