A scent to which there is no compare, Mr. Dove describes this piece as “a Chypré wrapped in cashmere”, for the way in which it settles as softly on the wrist as smoothly as the material slides across skin.
The world’s finest Rose and Jasmine counter a lightly powdery note of Orris, which sit atop a natural Chypré bed centred around the dry warmth of Oakmoss.
A sumptuous base features the sensuality of Leather and Ambergris contrasted against the balsamic sweetness of Benzoin and Vanilla, to create a Chypré fragrance as indulgent as perfumery itself.
How It Smells
Roja opens fresh but quickly becomes rich, warm, and incredibly complex. The citrus brightness fades into a luxurious floral core, where rose and jasmine feel smooth, slightly powdery, and perfectly blended.
As it develops, the fragrance becomes deeper and more intense. Warm spices like cinnamon, clove, and ginger add a subtle heat, while oakmoss, woods, and resins create a dark, textured foundation. A soft amber sweetness runs through the entire composition, making it feel rich, smooth, and endlessly refined.
It smells like a vintage, ultra-luxury chypre—rich florals, warm spices, deep moss, and golden amber blended into something timeless, powerful, and exceptionally elegant.
