Apex by Roja Dove

It’s a total 4×4: a green, aromatic, and woody scent that brings a lot of freshness. It might not be for every purist, but it’s easy to wear and lasts quite a while. I’m giving it 9/10 because I know some won’t like it, but in my opinion, it’s a hit.

I don’t know what else to add. It lasted a good while, but the ‘Aventus’ smell wouldn’t leave my head. At this price, I don’t see the point of buying it when it smells good but there are so many similar options out there.

I get what people are saying, but I wonder if they’re focusing on the scent or just their mood, or if they’re just blind followers. This is the case with Apex: it belongs to that group of ‘cursed’ fragrances that deserve a fair shot. Give it a try, it’s worth it. It’s an exquisite proposal, performs well, and projects for 8 hours. No woman who knows it says it’s not pleasant, rich, clean, and masculine. Perfect for any occasion and available at designer prices. Definitely recommended.

What perfume is this by Roja? Distinctive, elegant, and classy. It’s my favorite from Roja, but watch out: it’s a scent for those over 30, I don’t see kids wearing it. Plus, it has the advantage of being one of the most affordable options from the brand. You have to try it.

No big pretensions or old-school snobbery, no pretending to be an ‘expert’. Simply put, I love it. It’s a spectacular scent that will make a difference wherever you go. For me, perfumes are ‘good’ or ‘bad’ based on their construction and ingredient quality, not on the price, which usually depends on the brand. Try it for yourselves and don’t let the experts on this forum sway you, as that can sometimes be counterproductive.

Here’s some advice: when you want to buy a perfume and are looking for reviews, don’t get too carried away by the comments. There’s a lot of people nitpicking everything they don’t like. If you’re interested in a fragrance, smell it in a store or ask for a decant. There’s a lot of people here who always find fault with everything, and that’s the same with this one. I’m giving you my honest opinion: this fragrance is incredible, I fell in love at first sniff. It’s super strong for going out at night to ‘hang out’, and has great longevity. No, it doesn’t resemble Savage Dior, whoever said that must be sick. Keep in mind that everyone has their own taste; this one is dark and greenish, I recommend trying it first. The only negative is the price, but it’s worth every penny. I’m not saying this just about this perfume, but in general: perfumery is very subjective, what you don’t like could be the best for someone else.

The comment by Dr. is very cool. It’s true, Apex is a blast.

The only Apex that makes sense is the one by ‘Respawn Entertainment’, not ‘Roja’. I knew from the announcement it would be a simple perfume with heavy marketing (black cap and brochure with wild animals), a play to attract new customers with a less prohibitive price, similar to what the mediocre Elysium tried. It’s a chypre: lots of oakmoss and patchouli in the base. Resinous, with elemi and cypress greenery standing out, a touch of leather, citrus opening, and floral and juniper berry nuances. As it dries, it becomes slightly sweet. It’s complex, with a retro cut, linear, and modest performance. Unisex-masculine, with a mature air. It leaves behind the youthful to head to mature territory without falling into boredom like Diaghilev. It has versatility, but I find it terribly boring, with nothing new. An offering with no reason to exist. It might surprise a novice, but an expert in niche and Roja will set it aside to spend that money on another perfume. For a bit more, Danger is a gem; I prefer Reckless without so much complexity, or A Midsummer Dream, Enigma Parfum Cologne for less money. No thanks.
