The story behind the bottle.
Britannia by Roja Dove was launched in 2016 as an Oriental fragrance for both women and men, blending the crispness of citruses with warm spices and rich florals. Created by perfumer Roja Dove, this scent opens with a bright blend of Citron, Tangerine, and Mandarin Orange, giving way to the soft floral notes of Heliotrope and Violet. The heart is anchored by Jasmine, Rose de Mai, and Champaca, while the base layers in Cassia, Cacao, Orris Root, Vanilla, Ambergris, Sandalwood, Cloves, Musk, Patchouli, and Vetiver, creating a warm and enveloping finish.
Britannia has a rich base that blooms over time, so apply it lightly to allow its layers to unfold gradually. It's best worn during cooler months when the warm spicy notes can envelop you comfortably.
