The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016, Roja Dove's Parfum Royale #1 is a complex and bold fragrance that marries traditional notes with unexpected elements to create a truly distinctive scent. The composition opens with bright bergamot and sage before diving into a rich heart of jasmine and ylang-ylang. At its core, the fragrance is anchored by deep, smoky accords of oud and leather, enhanced by powdery musk and cashmere wood. This unisex parfum offers a luxurious blend that feels both modern and lasting.

How to wear it

Apply Parfum Royale #1 to pulse points for maximum impact. The smoky and leathery notes take time to develop on the skin, so allow at least an hour before fully appreciating its depth. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to the skin rather than from a distance.
