This is a fragrance for those who enjoy rose fruity compositions, but in a more refined, creamy interpretation. The opening brings juicy lychee and fresh bergamot, seamlessly transitioning into a soft, luminous rose with a subtle veil of incense in the background. This isn’t a heavy or overly sweet rose, rather velvety and modern, like light reflected off satin. The base settles into a vanilla amber warmth with a gentle powdery softness, creating a comforting, enveloping aura. Longevity and projection are effortlessly all day.

It’s one of the brand’s most recognisable fragrances, rich, sensual, and enveloping. A multi layered, perfectly balanced composition where rose, oud, amber, and saffron take centre stage. It settles on the skin like a warm, golden aura, elegant, deep, yet never overwhelming. The scent is distinctive while maintaining a sense of refinement and calm, it draws people in rather than dominate. Longevity is very good, as is characteristic of Roja Dove. The projection is noticeable for the first few hours, gradually softening into a closer, more intimate presence.

A composition with a floral oriental character. It opens with a citrus freshness that smoothly transitions into an elegant floral heart. On my skin, geranium stands out in particular, slightly green and subtly cool. The base is resinous and woody, with a delicate touch of coriander that adds an unexpected, gently spicy nuance. Longevity is around five hours, with a rather intimate projection. It’s a quiet fragrance, yet refined in its details, like soft light reflecting off polished wood.

A composition with a distinct vintage vibe. A fruity, sparkling opening, more dry than sweet, like a freshly opened bottle of bubbly. Rose and violet quickly follow, adding a powdery floral elegance. The fragrance settles into a patchouli base. Longevity is around 6 hours with moderate projection. Perfect for lovers of more mature, classic compositions.

At first spray, it tempts with juicy, sparkling lychee, red apple and a delicate hint of blackcurrant. It feels fresh, lightly fruity and incredibly mouth watering. Florals linger softly in the background, and before long the composition melts into a sweeter, cocooning base of vanilla and woods with a subtle touch of amber. Longevity is around three hours, with projection initially at arm’s length before quickly settling into a more intimate, skin-close scent.

This is one of my favourites by Jo Malone. The blend of red poppy and tonka bean creates a very feminine, warm, and easy to wear composition. Unfortunately, like most fragrances from the brand, it doesn’t excel in longevity. It’s a subtle scent, like a quiet compliment you only notice when someone is very close. It lasts up to around four hours and becomes skin scent fairly quickly.

A light, delicate floral composition. It opens with notes of rose and green jasmine. In the background, there’s osmanthus along with a soft, understated tuberose. It feels airy, pleasant, and very fleeting. A bit like a floral body mist from the chemist, pretty for a moment, but lacking real character. After around half an hour it stays very close to the skin, and after three hours it’s practically gone, even on clothes. The price, unfortunately, is outrageously high for what you get.

Honestly, I still don’t quite understand where all the hype is coming from. It opens with fresh citrus notes, bright, summery, almost holiday like, but also fairly predictable. It feels more like a postcard from a holiday than a real experience, pleasant, but lacking a bit of soul. I can hardly detect any ginger, which is a shame, as it could have brought some sparkle and life to the composition. I don’t pick up on any ambergris either, which leaves the whole thing feeling rather flat and one dimensional. It gives me the impression of being diluted, like a citrus lemonade that looks appealing, but after the first sip turns out watery and quickly loses its flavour. Longevity and projection, especially at this price point, are average at best. To me, it’s a missed opportunity, it could have been something truly beautiful and captivating, but instead it feels fleeting and a little underwhelming.

A minimalist, joyful fragrance that brings to mind a sunny summer afternoon filled with sweet fruits. It opens with a juicy wild strawberry, lightly dusted with sugar, accompanied by a soft, rose accord that beautifully enhances the fruity character of the composition. As it develops, a woody base emerges, gently balancing the sweetness and adding a slightly drier, more elegant touch. Longevity on my skin is around four hours, with moderate projection.

The composition opens with a sweet pear note, which soon gives way to white florals and warm amber. It’s a dense, intense and very cocooning fragrance, with amber enhanced by vanilla clearly taking centre stage. Longevity and projection last all day, definitely one for lovers of more powerful compositions.
