The story behind the bottle.
Roja Dove launched A Midsummer Dream in 2016 as a unisex fragrance that embodies the complexity and richness of nature at its peak. The composition opens with a vibrant citrus-aromatic accord, where grapefruit and bergamot create an invigorating freshness before elemi and cardamom add warm spiciness to the mix. As it develops, orange blossom and rose bring floral elegance, while patchouli and vetiver ground the scent with earthy depth. Orris and vanilla offer a powdery sweetness that contrasts beautifully with the fresh spicy notes of pink pepper and musk.
A Midsummer Dream has an immediate citrus burst that fades within an hour, making it ideal for layering or reapplying. Focus on pulse points to keep the warmth close to skin; this fragrance reads better up close rather than from across the room.
