The story behind the bottle.
Lilac by Roja Dove is a Floral fragrance for women that was launched in 2018, reflecting the brand’s dedication to capturing distinctive and evocative scents. The composition opens with bergamot before diving into a heart of heliotrope, violet, orange blossom, ylang-ylang, jasmine, peach, and rose. This floral bouquet is then grounded by a rich base of amyris, orris root, ginger, vanilla, peru balsam, oakmoss, benzoin, cinnamon, sandalwood, cedar, cloves, and patchouli. The blend creates an atmosphere that oscillates between the crispness of citrus and the warmth of spices, making it both uplifting and comforting.
Apply two sprays for a balanced experience — the top notes will fade within an hour but the base notes will linger throughout the day. This fragrance reads better close to skin rather than filling a room, so aim for pulse points.
