Karenina by Roja Dove was launched in 2016, capturing the essence of a complex floral bouquet with warm spices and aldehydic notes. The fragrance opens with bright citrus and green notes, giving way to a heart of carnation, gardenia, frangipani, and ylang-ylang. These white florals are balanced by the powdery touch of violet and jasmine, adding depth and warmth. A base of cloves, vanilla, musk, and cedar rounds out the composition with an enveloping spiciness that lingers on the skin.
