The story behind the bottle.
Roja Dove launched 51 Pour Femme Essence De Parfum in 2021, capturing the essence of luxury and intrigue that defines Roja Parfums. This Oriental fragrance is a playful homage to the Burlington Arcade, where nothing is exactly as it seems. The composition opens with juicy Raspberry, adding a vibrant contrast to the floral elegance of Rose, Jasmine, and Lily. A central note of Vanilla brings smoothness and warmth, while Spicy hints of Aniseed, Cinnamon, and Clove infuse the scent with vivacious energy. Luxurious wood notes of Cashmere Wood and Sandalwood sit close to the skin, enveloping you in a cocoon of sophistication.
This fragrance is best applied in small amounts — two sprays are enough to let the complex layers unfold over time. The Raspberry note is bright but fleeting, so it's the base notes that will carry the scent throughout the day. For optimal longevity, apply on pulse points and allow the powdery Orris to whisper through subtly.
