Roja Parfums Burlington 1819
Grapefruit and mint over rum, spice and tobacco
Burlington 1819 is Roja's tribute to London's Burlington Arcade, which opened in 1819 and is home to the house's global flagship boutique. The house files it as a citrus fragrance with a fresh amber accord. Grapefruit, lime and mint open it, and a spiced, boozy base follows. Roja calls it fresh, bold, bright and British.

How it unfolds
-
Citrus with a cold edge
Grapefruit and lime lead, with mandarin and bitter orange behind them for juice and a touch of bitterness. Mint is the unusual part: bold, cool and green, it keeps the citrus from reading as plain. The first impression is bright, sharp and very awake.
-
Ginger, rum and tobacco
Ginger, cinnamon, cumin and saffron give the base a spicy, slightly savoury warmth, and rum and tobacco add a boozy, dry-leaf depth. This is a dark, grown-up contrast to the bright opening, and it is where the scent stops being merely fresh and gains weight. The spice is warm rather than hot.
-
Moss, wood and amber
Patchouli and oakmoss give an earthy, slightly damp-forest backbone, cedarwood and Casmir wood add a smooth, dry woodiness, and benzoin, vanilla and labdanum round it off with resin and soft sweetness. Ambergris and musk finish with a clean, skin-like warmth. This is the fresh amber accord the house describes.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Where it fits
Burlington 1819 is a good all-rounder. The citrus and mint suit warm days and daytime plans, while the spiced base lets it carry into evenings and cooler months. Three sprays give a full impression with this Eau de Parfum. It is bright enough for the office and has enough rum and tobacco to feel at home after dark.
Who it is for
Burlington 1819 is a scent for anyone who likes bright citrus but wants spice and tobacco behind it. It suits people who find purely fresh scents too thin and purely dark ones too heavy, and who want something that moves between the two as the day goes on.
Why choose Roja Parfums Burlington 1819
The name points to a real place: Burlington Arcade in London, opened in 1819, where Roja has its global flagship boutique. The scent is built as a tribute to it, so the British character the house mentions is part of the idea rather than a label. It comes as a 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

Questions
Frequently asked
What concentration is Burlington 1819?
Eau de Parfum, 100 ml. That sits in the middle of the strength range: richer than an Eau de Toilette, lighter than a Parfum, and the heavy base notes help it stay on skin.
What does the mint do in this scent?
It keeps the opening cool and green and stops the grapefruit and lime from reading as ordinary citrus. After that it fades, and the spice, rum and tobacco take over.
Is Burlington 1819 more fresh or more spicy?
Both. The brand tags it fresh, bold, bright and British, with citrus and mint at the front and ginger, rum and tobacco behind. It starts fresh and ends warm.
Why is it called 1819?
1819 is the year London's Burlington Arcade opened. The arcade is home to Roja's global flagship boutique, and the scent is made as a tribute to it.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
