The story behind the bottle.
Roja Dove launched Rose in 2016, aiming to create a modern interpretation of the classic floral note. The fragrance opens with bergamot and May Rose, complemented by geranium and ylang-ylang, which give it a fresh spicy edge. As the scent unfolds, warm spices like pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg emerge, adding depth and complexity. The base notes of vanilla, benzoin, patchouli, and musk create a rich and enveloping finish that feels both modern and lasting.
Roja Dove’s vision was to capture the essence of a Rose that slowly reveals its full beauty with each passing moment, much like the flower itself.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for the best effect. The top notes are bright and will fade within an hour, but the warm spices and vanilla base will linger throughout the day, so a heavier initial application is recommended.
