The story behind the bottle.
Roja Dove launched Manhattan Eau de Parfum in 2022, bringing together an array of warm and spicy notes to create a complex fragrance that feels both familiar and intriguing. The composition opens with lavender, basil, and bergamot, offering a fresh yet aromatic start. As it evolves, heliotrope and may rose blend seamlessly into the heart, while tobacco and vanilla provide a rich warmth in the base. This interplay of notes creates a multifaceted scent that is both comforting and bold.
One or two sprays are sufficient — the tobacco and warm spicy notes project well but settle into skin quickly. The fragrance blooms over the first hour, so applying it just before stepping out ensures maximum impact.
