“The Parfums De La Nuit Collection explores the way in which our true primal urges rarely surface during the day, yet can emerge from the shadows as the sun goes down.–Roja Dove

 Last year I met with Roja Dove and fell in love with Parfums De La Nuit #3, which like Sebastian, ranks at the top of “my must have Roja Parfums.”

Tom Crutchfield, the Business Manager of Roja Parfums at Bergdorf Goodman in N.Y. told me that amber (labdanum) is a key ingredient in each of the  fragrances in the Parfums de La Nuit Collection and  that Roja Dove had envisioned the amber color of the sky just as the sunsets as the aura around each perfume.  Parfums de La Nuit #3 represents “exoticism” (Sr. Editor Ida Meister called  #1 “louche and lavish” in her review last year; Roja Dove writes that #1 represents our “inner predator”).

Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift in A Place in the Sun, 1951

February 27, 2020 is Elizabeth Taylor’s birthday and the day this video review of Roja Parfums Parfums de la Nuit #3 Review airs. I am a huge fan of hers as is Tom and we both agreed that this unisex fragrance is perfectly suited  as a tribute to her exotic beauty- from her teen years to grown woman.

So together we chose a Liz Taylor film which best represented Parfums de la Nuit #3’s sensual allure, “A Place in the Sun”.  Co-starring Montgomery Clift it is an Academy award winning movie and the dramatic story of a tragic love triangle; ithese two Old Hollywood movie stars that were among the sexiest in the 50s’. The movie also is a foreshadowing of Elizabeth Taylor’s future (she “stole” Eddie Fischer, Debbie Reynolds husband and was married to him in 1959).

Sebastian loves #3 so much it would have made his recent Top Ten Roja parfums video
