by Roja Dove
Burlington 1819 by Roja Dove is a bold, aromatic citrus fragrance with a high degree of complexity and performance. The opening features a bright, zesty burst of grapefruit, lime, bitter orange, and mint, creating a photo-realistic, fresh, and citrus-dominant effect. This is quickly interwoven with a background of ginger, cumin, and spicy notes that add depth and warmth, evolving into a rich, earthy, and slightly sweet dry down marked by tobacco, wood, rum, vanilla, and ambergris. While some find the cumin note overly dominant or even body-odor-like in certain conditions, many appreciate its subtle, supportive role that enhances the scent’s sophistication. The fragrance stands out for its strong longevity and consistent sillage, particularly in warm weather, and is often described as having a uniquely 'mature' and 'sophisticated' character — a hallmark of Roja's style. It is best enjoyed during spring, summer, or autumn and suits those looking for a fragrance that starts fresh and transitions into something dark, spicy, and sensual without the saccharine sweetness typical of modern citrus scents.
