Question 1

How does Burlington 1819 compare to other Roja fragrances?

Accepted Answer

Burlington 1819 is positioned as one of Roja's more approachable and wearable fragrances. While other Roja scents like Diaghilev tend toward bolder, more statement-making profiles, Burlington 1819 prioritizes citrus freshness and everyday versatility. It's refined and complex without being difficult or divisive, making it accessible to a wider audience while still maintaining the quality and depth expected from the house.

Question 2

Is this fragrance suitable for both men and women?

Accepted Answer

Yes, though it leans masculine in traditional fragrance language. The tobacco, ginger, and woody notes give it a gentlemanly character, but the bright citrus opening and refined dry down make it unisex in practice. Anyone drawn to sophisticated, spicy-woody fragrances with citrus freshness will find it wearable regardless of gender.

Question 3

How does the performance compare to other fresh citrus fragrances?

Accepted Answer

Longevity is notably strong for the fresh citrus category—you can expect the scent to persist throughout the day rather than fading by mid-afternoon as many citrus fragrances do. Projection is more subtle, staying close to your skin rather than projecting aggressively, which suits the refined, understated character of the fragrance.

Question 4

What occasions and seasons is this best suited for?

Accepted Answer

Spring and summer are ideal due to its citric brightness and sun-drenched warmth, though it works year-round for office, casual daytime, and social settings. It's particularly effective for business-casual environments or leisurely warm-weather occasions where you want something elegant but not overly formal. It's less suited to beach or very casual weekend settings.

Question 5

How does Burlington 1819 compare to Tygar by Parfums de Marly?

Accepted Answer

Both share a bright citrus opening, but Burlington 1819 is drier, more bitter, and skews more gentlemanly in character. Tygar tends to be smoother and more universally pleasing, while Burlington 1819 has more edge and complexity in the dry down, particularly from the tobacco and ginger. Burlington 1819 also tends to last longer, which some see as better value despite the higher price point.

Question 6

Would this work well as an everyday fragrance?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. It's designed to be worn casually without requiring a special occasion, and the refined-but-accessible profile makes it comfortable for daily office wear, social situations, and weekend casual settings. The citrus keeps it feeling fresh and modern rather than stuffy, while the complexity ensures it remains interesting on repeated wears.
