The house

More from Roja Dove

Roja Dove is a British niche house, opened in London's Mayfair in 2011 by the perfumer whose name it carries. Its perfumes feel generous and polished, mixing fruit and flowers with warm amber and wood: bergamot, lime and black currant up top, jasmine and orris in the middle, sandalwood, ambergris and leather to finish. Start with Elysium Pour Homme Parfum Cologne, then try Isola Blu. Elysium Pour Femme and the newer Elysium Noir show how far the Elysium line stretches, and Elysium Absolue Pour Femme, from 2026, is fruity and full of white flowers. Julie Lerendu is credited as perfumer on part of the range.
