The names of these Roja perfumes are so strong and provocative and although the juice is great I don't see them as dangerous, scandalous, fetishist...etc. I think Enigma is the only one with an appropriate name. It's the refinement in all his perfume with I can't help but respect and Fetish is no different. I think the complexity and warmth of this creation doesn't scream 'Chypre' to me there's elements of the aromatic fougere, and oriental about this too, making it hard to pigeon hole. Definitely comprises old skool masculine elements of oakmoss and leather with the sharpness of citrus. The animalic element again although detectable is not strong or overbearing combining with a rich mixture of mild spices both sweet and peppery, benzoin/vanilla amber accord combo and by favourite 'gelling agent' Labdanum. It's interesting that all three masculines I've tried have this signature warm, creaminess that some people would maybe find a bit 'boring' or 'beige' but I think it just makes them more wearable and adds another dimension. I suppose there's no accounting for taste. This is a brilliant fragrance yet again not my favourite in the line but my girlfriend really liked it. I need to get a proper sample so I can be sure of what's going on here!

Fetish Pour Homme is a masterful creation for the most confident of men. Opening very bright initially with lemon and lime, at first you’re not sure what you’ve got yourself into. As the soft florals begin to make way for what can only be described as an intensely rich, dirty and animalistic scent, you begin to become excited. A powerful leathery labdanum is joined by heaps of the highest quality castoreum, and an overdose of spicy cinnamon. Three dominating notes all fighting for attention, with the lime running through the background as a refreshing constant. The other notes listed don’t really stand out to me, likely just providing further depth and warmth. This fragrance really impresses me as it combines two strong fragrance families - chypre and amber. The classical elements of the Chypre structure combined with the warming Amber accord in the base take my breath away every time I smell it. I love animalic perfumes and this is one of my absolute favourites of all time.
