Basenotes Events Coverage: Your questions for Roja Dove and an exclusive offer
by Danielle Cooper, 26 May 2009 Articles
As previously reported on Basenotes we are collaborating with the man behind London's Roja Dove Haute Parfumerie and bringing our readers the opportunity to attend an exclusive masterclass with Dove himself, followed by a delicious two course lunch and a warm welcome in some of the local fragrance establishments.
Now we also bring you two new and exclusive opportunities - you can pose your questions to the man himself and also purchase a piece of fragrance history in the form of the beautiful Baccarat flacons designed for Guerlain's Coq D'or fragrance, Roja's personal collection.
...Basenotes Events Coverage: An Odour Profile at the Roja Dove Haute Parfumerie
by Danielle Cooper, 18 May 2009 Articles
In the second of our pieces to celebrate Basenotes and Roja Dove's event collaboration we take a look at The Roja Dove Haute Parfumerie based at one of the most famous shopping destinations in London, Harrods.
The opulent surroundings and rare and exotic scents have meant that that the Parfumerie is a place that excites curiosity and attracts attention. Basenotes went along to find out what the Parfumerie offers and why this is not just another boutique.
Stepping off of the pavement on a grey and overcast Knightsbridge morning into the blazing Green and Gilded department store is an act of refreshment in itself. The noise of traffic and tourists and workers rushing out of the office for an energy boosting mid-morning latte melts into a luxurious ambience, service with a smile and a sense that retail therapy could not be more pleasing. Yes I am a fan of Harrods and have been since childhood, gazing for what seemed like entire festive holidays into magical windows that held endless promise.
...Basenotes Events Coverage: Roja Dove - a Profile
by Danielle Cooper, 11 May 2009 Articles
Basenotes will be celebrating its exclusive Roja Dove masterclass with a series of editorial pieces about the man himself and the eclectic Haute Parfumerie that he has created in Harrods, one of London's most famous department stores.
In our first piece we find out how Roja became involved in fragrance and take a look at a career that has seen him quoted in so many leading magazines and newspapers, allowed him to become the resident fragrance expert for British Airways Highlife magazine and to undertake the training of staff in some of the UK's biggest fragrance retailers. Often cited as a knowledgeable and flamboyant story-teller and passionate orator of his subject, Basenotes discovers the source of that passion and the background of that knowledge....A Roja Dove date for the Basenoter's diary - Thursday June 11th, 2009

Book Review: The Essence of Perfume - Roja Dove
by Anya McCoy, 16 February 2009 Articles
The understated dustcover gives little hint as to the gorgeous photos and illustrations included in Roja Doves’s book The Essence of Perfume. It reminded me of how a glorious perfume can be hidden in a dark, elegant bottle such as the iconic Joy parfum flacon. Dove has been a legend in the world of perfume for years as the owner of the glamorous salon The Roja Dove Haute Parfumerie in the Urban Retreat in Harrods. Previously he worked at Guerlain and his naming, by Robert Guerlain as the “the world’s sole Professeur de Parfums” practically begged he author a book on perfume. The Professeur title is apt: he’s the type of theatrical and engaging professor that finds his classes overbooked because every student wants to sit in and be transported and educated by a maestro...

Basenotes' Adventures in London - Part One: The Rare, The Exclusive and The Exquisite!
by Danielle Cooper, 04 March 2007 Articles
It's 8.45 on a grey and uncertain Saturday morning. Basenotes founder Grant Osborne and I are sitting in a coffee shop in Victoria station hoping against hope that the monotone sky doesn't open and release the buckets of drizzle that it has been threatening to throw down since dawn. This is not our only hope as we struggle on with our black coffees. We are also hoping people from all over England and as far afield as Paris and Helsinki are going to be converging on Victoria Station in half an hour to attend the first official Basenotes Lunch...
