Apex by Roja Dove

It’s a total 4×4: a green, aromatic, woody scent that delivers a real freshness. It might not be for all purists, but it’s easy to wear and lasts quite a long time. 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’ scent wouldn’t leave my head. For the price, I can’t see the point of buying it here when it smells nice but there are so many similar options around.

I understand those who have an opinion, but I wonder if they’re focusing on the scent or 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 chance. Give it a try, it’s worth it. It’s an exquisite proposal, performs well, and projects nicely for 8 hours. No woman who knows it says it’s not pleasant, rich, clean, and masculine. Ideal for all-terrain wear and available at designer prices. Without a doubt, recommended.

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

Without grand pretensions or old-school snobbery, or 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 the price, which usually depends on the brand. Try it 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 let yourself be swayed too much by the comments. There’s a lot of people looking for trouble with everything they don’t like. If you’re interested in a fragrance, smell it in a shop or order a decant. Here, there’s a lot of people always looking for trouble, and it’s the same with this one. I’ll give you my opinion straight up: this fragrance is incredible, it was love at first sniff. It’s super long-lasting for going out at night to ‘hang out’, with very good longevity. No, it doesn’t resemble Dior Sauvage; whoever says that must be suffering from a cold. Watch out, everyone has their own tastes; this is dark and greenish, so I recommend trying it first. The only negative is the price, but it’s worth every penny. I’m not saying this about this perfume specifically, but in general: perfumery is very subjective; what you don’t like could be the best for someone else.

Very cool comment from Dr. It’s true, Apex is a blast.

The only Apex that makes sense is the one from ‘Respawn Entertainment’, not ‘Roja’. I knew from the announcement it would be a simple perfume with heavy marketing (black cap and brochure featuring wild animals), a move to attract new customers at a less prohibitive price, much like the mediocre Elysium attempted. 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 move to mature territory without falling into the boredom of Diaghilev. It has versatility, but I find it terribly boring, with nothing new. An offering without a reason to be. 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 little more, Danger is a gem; I prefer Reckless without so much complexity, or A Midsummer Dream, Enigma Parfum Cologne for less money. No thanks.
