Today, Roja spoke at the 4th House and Garden Spirit of Summer Fair at the Kensington Olympia, a unique boutique shopping event. Guests experienced a guided tour of an olfactory garden during an interactive “sniff-in” with Roja, whereby scented smelling strips are passed out for the guests to compare and contrast the effects these oils have and how they combine with each other.

Roja was asked by Harrods to design a crown for their Jubilee shop window display. He of course obliged and here is his take on Queen Elizabeth’s crown using raw ingredients, flowers, and a touch of his famous creative flair. It has been on display since Monday and will be there for the entirety of the Jubilee celebrations. I’m sure you agree that it is worth a visit.

On the 8th May, Roja launched Diaghilev to the Russian press at the Stanislavsky Music Theatre in Moscow. It was a beautiful launch, in beautiful surroundings, with beautiful people; one cannot ask for more.

This evening, Roja is excited to be attending the Victoria and Albert exhibition, Ballgowns: British Glamour Since 1950, to celebrate the opening of the newly renovated Fashion Galleries which will feature more than sixty designs for social events such as private parties, royal balls, state occasions and opening nights. Pictured is an Alexander McQueen, S/S 2011, gown; a fine example of sartorial elegance.

Come and visit the Roja Parfums promotional site in the famous Black Hall, located on the Ground Floor of Harrods. As always, the delightful Roja Parfums staff are happy to show you around and introduce you to some olfactory treats; we look forward to welcoming you.

Roja takes Chi Wai Tang, a journalist from the Far Eastern magazine, HER, on an olfactory experience using his very own Macallan aroma box.

Roja was recently invited to visit Laurent Perrier’s vineyard in Tours-sur-Marne, a subregion of Champagne, where he took a tour of the cellars and indulged in some champagne tasting. Here is a picture of Roja outside their charming Headquarters.

Today Roja attended the COPRA lunch at The Dorchester and met a familiar face – the one and only Lulu.

COPRA represents the major retailers of fine fragrances and cosmetics in the UK. COPRA members are dedicated to the promotion of knowledge and excellence of service in the retail Cosmetics and Perfumery Industry.

On Monday,  Roja Dove was invited to the Getty Gallery by his good friend Gill Christophers and The Monday Club where a collection of imagery and memorabilia is on display to commemorate 50 years since the untimely death of Marilyn Monroe. Here is a picture of Roja and Marilyn Monroe’s negligee from the 1953 thriller-film noir, Niagara; sartorial elegance at its finest.

Last week, Roja hosted a launch party at Madame Jojo’s in Soho to celebrate the launch of his latest fragrance, Risque. The party was a huge success, attended by the top beauty journalists in the UK who were thrilled by a special performance by burlesque superstar, Miss Polly Rae.

See below or click HERE for a selection of pictures from the event and Risque will be available to buy from the Roja Parfums Shop from June.
