This perfume was on my wishlist for long time and I have bought many of my 25 Rojas blindly. There was one particular thing why i didn't do it: so many people compared Britannia with "Guet-Apens | Guerlain" and they said that they are almost identical. Because of that I was thinking how it's possible that they are smelling similar because their style differs a lot. I had never heard of some Guerlain which is not fitting in their style so I concluded that this Roja is not quite their style and I was right. This is a little bit lighter than Rojas floral parfums in overall but there is some which are subtle like Enigma Pour Femme Parfum , 51 Pour Femme (Parfum) and Enigma Aoud Parfum for example. And I love Guerlain a lot, that is not the point. love Guerlain a lot, that is not the point. Finally I got a little decant of this one and I understood all that comparison. Britannia could be Guerlain's creation. There is something from Roja but if you are familiar with Roja's voluptuous floral bouquets like Roja Dove Haute Parfumerie 15 , Turandot , NüWa or even the parfums from women's collection you understand what I'm talking about. Britannia is beautiful and its top quality perfume, that is sure. But what I'm missing is the complexity and some kind of extra wow effect which I have got every time when have been spraying my Rojas for the first time or rather every time when wearing them. If this would be in the normal collection I think it would match with my expectations. There are some notes which stands clearly out which is not the case with the most of Rojas. For me this is first primarily Heliotrope and Violet perfume while Sweet Acacia (earlier known as Mimosa farnesiana) and Champaca are making them thicker and opulent. Peach doesn't smell there, it's one of Roja's favourite notes and sometimes you can smell that delicious sweetness from it and sometimes not. The texture of Britannia is silky, powdery and it's luxurious, it's more airy than I'm used to so if some of you think that all those Rojas are suffocating or too much I think you could love this one. The closer the scent develops towards the dry down the more warmer and creamier it gets. Cocoa which has been mentioned is very subtle, it's barely detectable if you compare it for example with Ti Amo or Lilac Love from Amouage so this is definitely not a gourmand but seductive, elegant floral. Vanilla is bringing only a sophisticated sweetness like in many Rojas. This is not spicy scent either, the base is masterfully blended and none of the notes pop out. This perfume is great but I don't think it's something which I definitely need to add into my quite wide collection of Rojas. Anyway it's absolutely gorgeous and I think it would be perfect for the office to bring an extra luxury to the working days. If I will see it for sale for a reasonable price I think I will buy it anyway. The longevity of this one is easily the whole day and even if it's the skin scent the rest of three hours, it's so pretty, somewhat innocent and I think I would love to wear it as a bedtime scent. The sillage is ok, not huge, not weak, and the scent bubble around you is pampering. The bottle is the best which you can find like all Roja's bottles. Thank you for reading.
