Burlington 1819

This is such a weird hate/love fragrance for me its so trippy, other than that, it's excellently made and the quality is apparent from the first to last whiff. The opening of this was so goddamn polarising on my skin that I was genuinely shocked, all I got a metric tonne if Grapefuit, Lime, (very)Bitter Orange, and Mint... but with ALL the sharp edges😂, to the point that a whiff of it in the air from the wind, smelt eerily as if someone pressed the rind of a bitter orange right up to my nose lol, but even then it still smelt likeable(?) In a way I can't describe, it simultaneously smelt good yet headache inducing. However after the opening, the unbelievably Citrus and Mint combination thankfully calms down, and is joined by Cumin, subtle yet noticeable Rum, Cashmere, earthy Tobacco, Ambergris, and Oakmoss in no particular order, and all those of the above make the grand majority of the scent profile bar the minor fleeting nuances, with them all being relatively equal in prominence and excellently blended together, with Ginger and Grapefruit probably being just slightly above the rest, with this becoming more apparent around 2hrs into the drydown when the Citruses almost completely dissapear, only with the Grapefuit slowly fading away as it merges into the ginger, and the Mint slowly losing its potency too. I have seen some sadly bad experiences with the Cumin on some people's skin, but on mine thankfully it's not that bad, the Ambergris and Cumin add a nice salty level of sparkling to the composition without it smelling of sweat, but I can easily see how even a touch more saltiness could make it smell unbearably close to a sweaty smell if that makes sense. When it comes to wearability it feels to me moreso to be a casual scent but it could also fit a more formal occasion should it be a little warmer or moderate, and weather wise anywhere outside winter and cold days are definitely the go. Leans Masculine for sure, I wouldn't 100% of the way but its not that far off, projection aside from the strong astringent rindy and sharp opening, it mellows down to a medium-light projection on my skim after the 2hr mark, with it having roughly 8 hours longevity. Objectively it's made really well and has many nuances that intriguing and enjoyable to extent, its weird, as I personally wouldn't wear this or reach for it, as it's not a profile I enjoy wearing, but I do enjoy it from a fragrance enthusiast's perspective if that makes sense. and I wish I could rate it higher, but for me personally the headache I got from the opening made me enjoy the dry down less, but other than that it's mildly enjoyable, and I will for sure give it more tries in the future and see if my thoughts change, if so I'll add an edit. 8/10 >Edit, I've worn it quite a few more times and the positive aspects of the scent do come out more, but when I'm in the sun I get so much ginger and cumin off my skin, not enough to be unpleasant but enough to make me wish I got the other beautifully made notes more, my rating still stands, but all in all quite well made.

I have to mention straight away that I’m not a fan of citrus based perfumes. I don’t like those on my skin and I don’t like to smell those on anyone. I find those boring, extremely uncharming and all of those has been done a million times. 🍊🍋 Roja Parfums Burlington 1819 IS THE ONE AND ONLY citrus scent which I love and even like. 🍊🍋 Burlington opens up with an amazingly natural smell of fresh Grapefruit and Lime with a hint of Mint and it never gets synthetic. That smell of citruses is so realistic, so bright, uplifting and delightfully different than those million others and it lasts long time. I can even say that citruses are delicious here. In Burlington all used different citruses are blending with a delicated smokiness and beautiful mossy woody base. Tobacco is not dirty nor too dry but it's easily noticeable. I like how the fresh nature of the fragrance, thanks to both citrus and spices, is combined with warm notes like Vanilla and Benzoin which is a note reminiscent of it. Those together with Labdanum and woody notes create a more interesting fragrance with depth, power and numerous unique tones. On my skin this scent is more simple, let's say more feminine as well, and as I test all of my scents nowadays on my husband’s skin as well I can say that the performance on his skin is deeper, darker and stronger and a bit more interesting than on my skin. What seems to be hidden on my skin is Ginger and Rum and overall the beautiful complex drydown with dark nuances is somewhat lighter on my skin - amazing anyway. Airy Saffron is barely detectable. I enjoy this scent a lot in both kind of ways how it performs but I have to admit that if it’s admirable on my skin, it’s totally unique experience on warmer skin. Most of citrus dominated scents try to imitate Lemon or Citron (in the bad way) and I think it’s lack of imagination since there is many different citrus to use - most common ones being Bergamot, Sweet Orange, Orange Bigarade (Bitter Orange), Mandarin, Clementine, Yuzu, Lime, Lemon, Citron, Verbena and Grapefruit. Roja has chosen the best ones imo into this scent while Yuzu being my favorite as a note in perfumes from other olfactive families. If you love citrus scents this is something which you really need in your collection. This is just simply AMAZING, so special. Thank you for reading, I hope my review was helpful. I would appreciate a lot if you want to follow me on IG and/or YouTube (English subtitles): @ninamariahperfumes It gives me a lot of motivation to write more. 🤗

“Burlington 1819” does not simply open—it awakens, as though a window has been thrown wide onto a morning that insists upon being lived. At first breath, there is lime: vivid, luminous, almost trembling in its clarity. Yet it is not alone. It is held—no, cradled—within the soft, velvety hush of fresh mint, a mint so tender and silky that it feels less like a note and more like a presence. The citrus here refuses vulgarity; it is neither bitter nor sugared into artifice. Instead, it is airy, sparkling, and strikingly photorealistic, as though one were standing in the very grove, the oils still alive beneath the skin of the fruit. And then, with quiet inevitability, the lime yields—not abruptly, but as a thought transforms into another. It becomes mandarin, not in peel but in pulp: fresh, crisp, almost tactile in its juiciness. The mint persists, and here it reveals its true nature. It is divine—not sharp, not medicinal, but soft, almost sensual, its freshness carrying a subtle, undeniable allure. The heart emerges gently, without rupture. Ginger, musk, and vanilla converge into something unexpectedly radiant. There is sweetness, yes, but it smiles rather than clings. It is bright, youthful, and composed, avoiding entirely the suffocating weight that so often burdens such accords. One senses balance here—not imposed, but intrinsic. From this brightness, a deeper warmth unfolds. Cashmerewood enters like a quiet confidant, soft yet assured, its surface lightly spiced and delicately infused with rum. This is not indulgence, but refinement—a gourmand note rendered with restraint and elegance, never tipping into excess. What reveals itself, in the end, is a composition of remarkable coherence: citrus and mint in lucid harmony, tender vanilla woven through, cashmerewood grounding the structure, and spices that shimmer rather than shout. It is unmistakable, original, and curiously unbound by convention—neither masculine nor feminine, but something more honest, more human. And yet, in its final act, the fragrance sharpens. The drydown is crisp, with a quiet masculine edge—not exclusionary, but assertive. It lingers with intention, leaving behind not merely a scent, but a signature. This is not a perfume for hesitation. It belongs to those who are willing to declare themselves—to sign their name, boldly and without apology, in something both original and unforgettable.

SO, I decided to still take an opportunity to actually buy the fragrance. What a hit! This was very different from my experience with the decant. MY REVIEW FROM A BOTTLE: Same as below in terms of smell, but the cumin is undetectable - I mean, it's still there in form of a spice but no sweat, etc. An amazing signature, with enough complexity and interest to go year-round, not just warm weather. More mature, for sure, with great longevity. Overall, a rich wearing experience. Again, I went against my experience with the decant, and was a RIGHT! Unfortunately, from that on, my experience with decants is kinda hit-or-miss now. It's happened a few times where I get a different experience in the scent profile from the decant vs the actual bottle. Now, were my decants valid? Yes, I got them from scentsplit.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MY REVIEW FROM A DECANT: Opening is absolutely to die for, and probably one of the best in the game for this sort of profile. Mid gets quite strange on my skin, followed by a not-so-disturbing drydown. It must be the cumin that gets too prominent off my skin. As previously said, it ramps up as the fragrance dries down, but it's hard to pass on the first 1-2 hours for the beautiful combination of that citrus-booze masculine edge from a not so mature Roja fragrance. This would be the one to get, but fortunately I got the decant first, as the bit of smell of sweat just didn't agree with me. Try on skin, give yourself a chance. Out of many citrus fragrances, this was the one I will pass for: 1. price, and 2. the cumin. Beautiful opening though.

I only briefly sampled 1819, and on paper at that, but it inspired me to post about it. I was prepared for a somewhat funky, body odor experience since that’s what I get out of many fragrances where cumin is mentioned as a significant note. Instead, I was almost shocked at how approachable and inviting this scent is. The citrus smells of high quality, without sharpness but with an impact to make a great first impression. There is cumin, but I find it far in the background with just enough presence to keep things interesting. It is probably the best use of the cumin note in fragrance that I have smelled up to date. Into the dry down, the scent remains sophisticated and alluring, but with less of the citrus present. I hope I don’t throw anyone off the trail, but it reminded me of something Parfume de Marly back when they were at their best, or Terre d’Hermes Parfum but slightly sweeter and less sharp and dirty. I will have to wear this on skin before committing because I could see this being a very different experience than the one on paper, but if form holds, this will be one of the best three-season (Spring, Summer, Autumn) fragrance I have ever smelled.

I definitely don't get the BO vibe or a distinct cumin note. What I believe people are referring to is the rindiness that may be coming from cumin being blended in, but that's not something you'll smell unless you go nose to skin. In the air, it's a pretty natural smelling citrus and still isn't as bitter as a lot of other citrus fragrances that try to go natural with the grapefruit scent. I actually feel that this is well executed and although I will say that it's in the same ballpark as Tygar (which I also have and love), this is more mature and natural smelling, as well as less sweet. Based on the versatility of both, I would say that they both have a place in a lot of collections (I have a larger collection but fresh fragrances that bring a little class to the occasion are always my go-to). I will update performance once I've worn this enough times, but the wearing experience is honestly really nice and it was an instant compliment getter, even at work. Also, if you search around online, there are plenty of places selling this for well under retail, which actually makes it a pretty good value when you consider the other fragrances in this space.

Probably one of the best citrus fragrances ever created. I must say I enjoy Burlington 1819 better than Elysium, Oceania, and Midsummer Dream. The first initial blast of citruses is truly marvelous. Perhaps the most natural smelling I've ever come across. You can tell immediately that the ingredients used to make this one are second to none. It's not often that you find a fragrance that is very bright and uplifting in the opening but finally turns into something more darker and complex in the dry down which is really interesting and special. I get a little hint of tobacco and kind of nice sweet booziness from rum and patchouli. There's also ambergris that adds a classy soft depth while freshness from mint is still there. This could be a 10/10 fragrance if it has a better performance because the scent alone is purely divine. Now I give this one a solid 9/10. edit: I've experiences maceration with a few of my fragrances so I have decided to leave my Burlinton 1819 for a while. Fast forward 6 weeks, the performance has improved quite a bit.

One of my first samplings of Roja and I do like this scent, as it very gentleman like without being boring. I can see why some might say BO, but I personally don't get it. There are other fragrances that I would say has that issue and this isn't one of them. Maybe certain people are just more sensitive to cumin? It's very restrained in this fragrance. At it's most fundamental level this is a citrus/wood composition, but the added notes give it a certain character, and it's blended well that those notes are hard to distinguish from one another. In the end you get a composition that is whole and not the some of it's parts. This is a great spring, fall and maybe summer (not at it's hottest peak) type of profile. It's projection fits the gentleman style, not brash but not whimpy either, I get a consistent scent bubble that projects within my own vicinity. Longevity is really good at around 8-10 hours (total wear not projection). This is masculine and not unisex. Overall I really like this and would consider purchasing.

This is a Citrus fragrance to be reckoned with! My first experience with a grapefruit forward fragrance. I am very impressed with this one. I get the pulpy grapefruit juice as well as the rind; behind it a beautiful light and enduring warm spice. It’s very much what I’d picture a grapefruit and mint cocktail to smell like, with some spiced Haitian rum. Great stuff all around! Very classy. It’s somehow maintains modernity while giving a beautiful classic impression. Very easy to picture a seaside landscape like Amalfi Coast or something. This would fit a James Bond type of character very well. It’s easily the best citrus fragrance I’ve tried. The oriental-like base here along with the cumin is unexpected but appreciated and simply a stroke of genius. The amazing thing is that an impression of grapefruit remains for much longer than a citrus oil should. I think that’s the real miracle with the mixing of ingredients. You can have a mixture of abstract materials giving the impression of a single ingredient.

This perfume is a hidden gem. We understand that it was released at the same time as Corona. We can say that injustice was done to this perfume because the whole world was covering its nose. This perfume is very charming and affects my olfactory senses. The smell is as close as possible to nature. It is as if you were I placed a basket of grapefruit, mandarin, and mint leaves in a luxurious crystal bottle. A masculine perfume in a soft, creamy way, as if it was intended for men with a delicate feeling. Warmth covers the edges, and the reason is ginger and cinnamon. I do not pick up any tobacco or cumin. The performance is not Strong as mentioned, but this is logical in light of the presence of ingredients that are as close to natural as possible. The closest perfume it reminds me of is Aqua Vitae Forte by Francis. Overall, this is a beautiful perfume and I really loved it. No one can surpass this beauty

This opens with a blast of mint and grapefruit that’s cool, sharp, and clean. It smells very sophisticated, leaning mature, probably best for an older gentleman who’s confident in his style. As it dries down, the scent turns rich and warm, with ambergris and rum taking over. Some spices and tobacco far in the background. There’s an intriguing, almost animalic undertone, something slightly sweaty, but in that sensual way that adds depth rather than takes away from the beauty. It’s provocative, not polite. The bottle looks amazing, classic Roja bottle that’s very high-end. It doesn’t project loudly, more of a skin scent. But it lasts a long time, easily all day or night. Feels perfect for a fancy dinner on a cruise in Greece with some drinks. Classy, bold, has a sparkling affect without smelling carbonated, and has a sexy and mysterious side to it that is extremely intriguing.

The worst thing about fragrances (in my personal experience)... ....is finding one that you love, purchasing it, and only afterwards finding out that your spouse hates it. Hates it as much as you love it. What to do in that scenario? That is exactly the situation I find myself in. Not only does it make 1819 a no-go for me anytime I'm home or out with my wife, but that also negates pretty much everything else in this genre. As much as I love 1819, I will have to send my bottle to a new home. Which, I guess, is ok. It is just a fragrance. Edit to add: Wore this again recently and the Mrs. liked it. Asked me what it was, and my reply was 'It is the one you told me to scrub off the last two times I had it on.' She laughed, as did I, but it proves that fragrances can smell different to people at different times and in different conditions.

A citrus fragrance with character? Do we all not desire such a thing? Burlington 1819 is popular amongst Roja-fanboys but also towards the general niche-snob/enthusiast. I can certainly see the appeal to this, it is fresh, the design is sick as hell and it is Roja Dove. It has a unique ability as a freshie and that is how convenient it works during colder weather aswell. My interpretation of this goes as following: a tart grapefruit with a creamy undertone, masculine yes. The lime is noticeable aswell. I wear this one to work all the time and the scent trail is gorgeous. I get solid perfomance from it, so timeless and elegant. Most of Roja's creations are elegant and luxurious. Do you like the idea of a complex grapefruit fragrance? Then this scent has great odds in your favour if that is the case.

From my perspective, this is a very pleasant, unobtrusive and elegant (citrusy and yet elegant - I would not believe that such a combination is even possible in past) scent for everyday wear during warmer months. I wear it to work (office), on city walks, in nature, for business meetings, and with friends. It’s one of my favorite, frequently worn fragrances. A magnet for compliments, truly a very lovely smell. When I first smelled it, I immediately thought - this reminds me of other parfume from other house I ́ve got - 21 Conduit Street - Jovoy Paris. However, I like Burlington more, it feels livelier and juicier. In my opinion, both scents are a safe blind buy for a men of any age. But if I didn’t know them and had to pick just one, based on what I know now, I would choose Burlington.

What an exceptional fragrance! Burlington 1819 opens up with a tart, slightly rhindy, photorealistic graprefruit note that is unlike any other grapefruit opening I have ever experienced in a fragrance. Slightly sweet with a beautiful ginger, spicy, (slightly boozy), musky and woody dry down. Expertly crafted and blended to be super smooth, this is the one... at first sniff I knew a full bottle was in my future and it has become my signature scent. Great for the office, a date night or a night out with friends, Burlington 1819 can be ultra classy and effortlessly cool and casual all at the same time. Give it a try and experience the magic in this little square bottle for yourself. 11/10 (yes it's that good!) full bottle worthy. 8+ hours longevity, medium projection.

A bit of strange in here the ginger is obvious giving it a little warm smell, I have tried the fragrance for three days now and never smelled it before (blind buy) I got several compliments, it’s a nice vibe, I liked it very much for summer time with the citruses it contains. I asked three of my friends in separate each of them described the smell like tree leaves and crumble in a forest in a nice way, very pure ingredients and sophisticated smell. Recommend it but please smell it to know what you buying with this price. Smell 9.5/10 Longevity 9/10 Projection 8.5/10 Update: I began to smell more ingredients after i left the perfume for a while, i smell the orange i smell mint and all ingredients precisely .. it’s enjoyable thanks to my self when I choose this

Very much agreed with @_fernmoss Opening is absolutely to die for, and probably one of the best in the game for this sort of profile. Mid gets quite strange on my skin, followed by a not-so-disturbing drydown. It must be the cumin that gets too prominent off my skin. As previously said, it ramps up as the fragrance dries down, but it's hard to pass on the first 1-2 hours for the beautiful combination of that citrus-booze masculine edge from a not so mature Roja fragrance. This would be the one to get, but fortunately I got the decant first, as the bit of smell of sweat just didn't agree with me. Try on skin, give yourself a chance. Out of many citrus fragrances, this was the one I will pass for: 1. price, and 2. the cumin. Beautiful opening though.

Disclaimer, I bought this at retail as the Harry Potter Edition. At retail, the 100 ml is cheaper than the normal bottle. That being said, I am more than happy to pay retail price for something like this. When I first smelled this, I was not the biggest fan. I tested it a few more times, and I don't know what happened, but this scent became so addicting. I legitimacy looked forward to putting this on everyday even if I wasn't going out. This took over my signature scent. living in a warmer climate also helps. I can wear it because it is rarely cold enough to not wear this, it is great in the heat, it is a great work/office scent. I cannot say enough good things about it. I'd definitely recommend testing this at least once or twice before buying.

A flawless 10/10. It doesn’t matter who made it or when, this fragrance is pure artistry. The longevity is outstanding, the sillage is just right, and it opens beautifully only to evolve into an even more impressive drydown. Versatile across seasons from autumn through summer, and suitable for both day and night, it strikes a rare balance between effortless wearability and rich complexity. It begins with refined citrus notes and settles into a smooth musky-woody base with character. Stop fixating on the cumin, it’s barely perceptible and seamlessly blended with the other spices. If you’re a fan of Tygar, you owe it to yourself to experience this masterpiece. Where Tygar feels like 480p, B1819 takes it to full 4K and beyond.

One of the absolute best I’ve come across in a long time. Decided to pull the trigger on this one after smelling it at my local Neiman Marcus. Love at first sniff To me this is quite possibly the most beautiful semi sweet, dirty, grapefruit upon first spray in the initial 20 min or so. Then it transforms to an even more pleasant scent in the dry down. Please for those reading, do not be off out by the cumin note in this, to my nose both in store and from my bottle, there is no body odor type smell that influencers have suggested this has due to the cumin note in the dry down. This is artistry in a bottle. Very mature summer scent for anyone 30 and up in my opinion. Definitely worth the price tag in my opinion.

Great Citrus Aromatic. Feels very modern. I like the grapefruit but love the rest. Very elegant option for the summer heat. It’s not generic at all and quite different from Jovoy’s 21 Conduit St. This is miles better. If it weren’t so expensive I would say one of the easiest blind buys. Scent 9.5/10 Outstanding Performance Fair Longevity Fair Value Retail is expensive but now at discounters between $160-230. I paid $250-260 when this first came out still think thats decent so current prices are excellent. Availability has been an issue for this specific fragrance with Roja with it flying off the shelves. So when u can get it at a good price dont sleep on it. Perhaps even a backup bottle.

I don’t say this lightly but this is one of the best fragrances I have ever smelled, not just in perfumery. One of the highest quality citrus-focused fragrances ever. The citrus and mint notes in the opening make this fragrance REFRESHING. It’s hard to put into words, but the way the notes are clearly separate and also work together in this fragrance make this a true masterpiece. You can wear this fragrance any time of the year. Citrus fragrances normally don’t work in cooler environments, but the spices in the base of this fragrance create a spicy dry down that can be worn in any season. Also applicable for all ages in my opinion. I will be wearing this one the rest of my life.

Opens very citrusy, sharp grapefruit with a subtle bitter orange and mint note. The dry down definitely holds more ginger than rum but the uplifting citrus never fades. With a base of cedar and slight oak moss coming through. There is nothing that resembles this, the craftsmanship with Roja is undoubtedly/quality is undoubtedly evident in this creation. One of a kind you should definitely keep an eye out for. The notes seem like something you have seen before but I promise you nothing comes close to this. A forever staple in my collection one I would replace before it was even near empty. If you live in a warmer climate this is a blind buy in my opinion.

Narenciye parfümü seviyorsanız denemelisiniz! Burlington, taze ve gerçekçi bir narenciye patlamasıyla açılıyor. Açılışta özellikle greyfurt ve portakal notaları net bir şekilde hissediliyor. Bu narenciye notaları zamanla yumuşak bir greyfurt ve nane uyumuna dönüşüyor, ardından sıcak, aromatik ve yosunsu bir kapanışa evriliyor. Greyfurt notasının kuruma evresine kadar belirgin bir şekilde kalması ise oldukça sıra dışı. Oldukça kaliteli bir parfüm. Uniseks ve performansı da gayet iyi. Genel olarak, kalıcılığı ve derinliğiyle öne çıkan harika bir narenciye parfümü.

i bought this for myself, but ended up just spraying it on my boyfriend everyday. it's masculine, sexy, unique, fresh, and very natural smelling - and it out performs (and out competes) virtually every other perfume i own or wear - in fact, when my bf and i are out together, we always hear "one of you smells amazing", and even though we are both heavily perfumed, i ALWAYS know they are talking about burlington. it's heavy on the grapefruit, but the ginger gives it a great kick of spice. 9/10 daily driver type of perfume, great for any occasion.

Wow, what can I say about Burlington 1819? It seems to have the best elements of all my favorite Roja creations, all rolled into one. The citruses are exceptionally bright and photo realistic. It's fresh, soft, warm, cuddly, bright, sexy and boozy all at the same time. Great longevity, good projection and gorgeous bottle. 1819 Burlington is a mass appealing Roja that will smell incredible on anyone. I might have found my forever scent right here. Strong love! Scent: 10/10 Longevity: 9/10 Projection: 7/10 Price/Performance Ratio: 4/10

Great interpretation of a mojito or a gin and tonic. You get an effervescent mix of mint, lime, and ginger throughout the life of the fragrance. Unfortunately, for the price the performance is not where it should be. I get about 5 hours of performance and it stays pretty close to the skin. As for the mishmash of notes that we've come to expect from Roja, don't buy this fragrance expecting to pick up any of the rum, cumin, saffron, cinnamon, vanilla, or tobacco. It's a freshie, a damn good one, but a freshie nonetheless.

It's Amazing, literally smells like a sugared grapefruit and I love it on my skin. But it's not a blind safe, not because the profile is bad or challenging but because on some skin types it really might smell like a body odor. Tried it on my brother and with his skin chemistry it really smelled like that. With mine it smells devine, so I guess I am lucky with that scent. It has become in my Top 3 perfumes of all time and I have tested many, many perfumes, so make yourself a favor and try a decant or in store.

I really really love it. It reminds me a bit of the now discontinued Almost a transparent blue by Lab on Fire. This is bright, almost bitter citrus that just .. makes you happy for the time it lasts. Grapefruit is my favorite note, and you can definitely feel both grapefruit (albeit the yellow one, not the pink) and bitter orange. Amazing. On my skin, I can't really feel the scent after 2-3 h max. This is unacceptable for this price level. I bought a travel size but this will definitely not last long.

This scent was a the most beautiful citrus scent I’ve ever smelled in the opening and I wish that stayed longer, it dry down with the aquatics note and spice into a really nice fresh and dark spice note which is cumin. people online will say that the dry down smell like someone stinky, that just not true; to be correct what they call stanky is just dark and fresh not animalistic at all. On longevity, it just doesn’t last its a 3-4 hours scent. Any YouTuber that saids this last over 4 hours is a liar.

Sillage: 5/10 Longetive: 8/10 Price: 7/10 Everything that i can decrise about this perfume is Fresh with grapefruit, burning smell of tobacco, and light tender of wood. I bought 100ml bottle new seal with batch 2024, everything is okay in 0-1hour, 1-2 hour the burning smell will appear, which makes me feel " oh i can't smell it", but over 2 hour in my skin, it become a cool way to me. If you find a smell which can make you changing by changing you can try it, but not fresh like some review about it.

Reviewing new bottle purchased in 2025 . Burlington 1819 was launched in 2020. Burlington starts off with a fresh realistic citrus burst. Clear notes of grapefruit and orange can be discerned. This citrus slowly fades into soft grapefruit and mint and then into a beautiful warm aromatic and mossy dry down. The grapefruit lasts well into the drydown which is unusual. Quality -excellent 5/5 Unisex Performance- excellent 5/5 Overall, an amazing citrus mossy fragrance with longevity and depth. 8.8/10

I hope you find real reviewers and take a look at their collections — this community is full of immature people who don’t understand anything, just spreading hate out of boredom. Tygar and Vibrato, rise up, your big brother has arrived! The magnificent harmony of grapefruit and mint — masculine, elegant, a beautiful fragrance suitable for every season Except for extremely cold and winter months. I wish all perfumes were produced with this kind of dedication and effort...

THIS is my favorite grapefruit centered fragrance. I think that the best way to put it is this: Vibrato is for the younger people,Tygar is for the middle aged, and Burlington 1819 is for the older crowd. This opens up with a sharp fresh grapefruit and a decent dosage of rum, and dries down to a beautiful grapefruit and cashmeran blend. Decent longevity. Final rankings: Smell 8/10 Bottle/7/10 Performance 8.5/10 Overall 8/10

I have put my nose to almost all Tygar clones and "inspired by" scents and this is by far the best for me. It is intoxicating. Unfortunately like many Roja scents it only lasts a few hours. But what glorious hours they are! Fresh, bright, grapefruit, funky cumin, and captivating ambergris is what I pick up. I feel like there's coriander too, but could be wrong. Perfect for spring and early summer.

This is upfront tart, sour grapefruit with a warm spicing in the background. Tygar with depth and sharpness. The tartness can feel a bit pushy at times, but it's always interesting. Not a crowd pleaser like tygar but objectively better in my opinion. Performs very well. Borderline freshy, because of the warmth it may actually work better early summer evenings or spring/autumn days.

Good Lord, I want bathe in this. I regret not blind buying this one. I knew I was gonna love it just based on the notes, but I really never blind buy anything unless I know it is a one time exclusive fragrance, that will be permanently discontinued. I love it even more than I thought I would. This is probably my best roja competing with A Midsummer Dream.

I loved this perfume from the first sniff and I bought a full bottle of it immediately. The grapefruit note, especially in the opening in Burlington 1819 is way sweeter and brighter than the one in Tygar or Vibrato. The dry down is majestic, the minty tobacco and cumin notes that stays close to the skin makes smell dirty and sweety in very beautiful way.

revisiting this fragrance again , i had travel to colombia with a travel atomizer of this juice and i got a lot of compliments from locals this is bvlgari and vibrato type of vibe but more soapy and musky ah and for those who commented that smells body odor , you should shower before applying fragrance.. wearing this scent enhances your natural body odor

Yesss! A well rounded and much better alternative to Tygar. I absolutely love the grapefruit and mint that pop up right in the opening. Well done Roja! I wouldn't say that it's suitable for fall, but you can get away with it if it's sunny. Great for gentlemen of all ages, especially due to that strong mint that you can wear even when you're in your 70s

For me this is all about grapefruit, and I love grapefruit! Unfortunately I don't smell much of the tobacco or the dark depths in the perfume. Hard to feel any difference between this and for example Dolce & Gabanna Forever or Italian Love which I also love. I use this a lot for spring and summer but I definitely think it costs too much to be worth it.

Beautiful fragrance. Yes it has some glaring similarities to tygar and turathi but definitely has its own thing. The cumin is absolutely not overpowering or stinky but adds a nice touch of warm spice in the dry down that plays well with the other notes in the base. I haven't even officially worn this yet but I can tell this will hit once it warms up.

This is the best citrus fragrance, neck and neck with Tygar, to me Burlington 1816 is a bit complex, if compare with Tygar, because of the rum and tobacco note, the dry down smell like citrus cocktail, very delicious, longevity is over 8 hours and the sillage is so intoxicating , this one is definitely worth every penny Burlington 1819 is 10/10

I find it to be a nice citrus fragrance with excellent longevity. I'm not going to spend time trying to describe what the scent smells like -- there's enough uncanny descriptions here already. Please just get a sample and decide for yourself. Nothing anyone has said here is going to give you a real idea of what it smells like. It never does. 😎

all I get is a tart, rindy grapefruit. this seems to be hyped to hell. @Billford420 below nails it when he says most of the notes are BS. EDIT: I realised with Roja just ignore the laundry-list of notes Ended up buying a full bottle that has become one of my signatures. The man knows what he is doing.

A pleasant blast of grapefruit/mint and more, followed by hours of all those well blended middle notes with a touch of citrus still on top. The dry-down is second to none - warm, slightly sweet and musky. Sprayed at 8pm last night and it's still here at 11:30am the next day. It's a beast. 9.9/10

I like it, a lot. It’s very long lasting fragrance. I spray at 7:00 in the morning and I still notice it at 8:00 in the evening. So , longevity is around 12hrs easily. Very fresh and rich. I don’t feel cumin in the hard way like it has Amouage Fate. In nutshell it’s a great fragrance.

this is a summer beast mode fragrance ! opening is a fresh cool bitter grapefruit smell then follow a blue aftershower smell that projects and lasts for hours! just wore 3 sprays for a dinner and everyone thought i just took a long bath ( i havent showered for a day)

This is my all time favorite fragrance. It is a pure masterpiece. If i should say anything negative about it, i would say the performance. The performance is pretty mid considering the price. But for me this smells so good that the performance doesn't matter.

Must be a body chemistry thing. I’ve worn this one for years, and never smelt body odour or anyone else has said that to me. In fact it’s one of my most complemented from strangers. Grown man grapefruit scent. Classy, smells like money. Perfection
