Each year, to help spa enthusiasts choose the ideal spas for their specific goals, SpaFinder asks its readers to name their top picks for the best spas in unique categories.
“SpaFinder was the first to offer people the opportunity to vote for their favorite spas in diverse categories, providing a fast, accessible way for spa-goers to make decisions based on what’s important to them,” said SpaFinder President Susie Ellis. “They have become an important consumer guide, as well as an industry accolade.”
The 2011 Awards were based on votes submitted worldwide at SpaFinder’s global consumer websites and by readers of SpaFinder publications. Voters were asked to cast ballots only for spas they’ve personally visited within the past three years.

Roja Parfums - 'Aoud' at Harrods Black Hall
When Roja Parfums launched in Harrods Black Hall the collection became number one in the department. Annalise Quest, General Merchandise Manager of Beauty, hailed it as “a true inspiration to the perfumery world” as the demand for Roja Parfums could not have been stronger with certain creations sold out within the first few days: and a waiting list continues to grow.
It is well known that Aoud is precious and rare. Roja’s beautiful interpretation manages to capture all of that mysterious exoticism - an Aoud so precious it is topped off by its exquisite cap created from Swarovski crystals.
Swathed in Roses underscored by Jasmine and Ylang Ylang, freshened by Geranium, Verbena, Bergamot, Lemon, and an unusual note of Rhubarb, warmed by Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Casmir Wood, Patchouli, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and a costly Saffron, all nestling on a sensual base of Ambergris, Vanilla, Musk and Leather Notes.
Aoud, and the other fragrances from Roja Parfums, are presented on a counter designed in collaboration with Lalique featuring many iconic crystal pieces; it confirms Roja’s philosophy at the heart of Roja Parfums: it has to be the best.

100ml Parfum: £495
