Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - A Midsummer Dream EDP
This one's a proper grower, isn't it? A divisive Roja that polarises opinions like Brexit, but ultimately, it's a classy, sophisticated wear for those who appreciate traditional perfumery. Don't expect a crowd-pleaser; this is for the connoisseur, not the newbie.

Our Verdict - Casanova EDP
Casanova is inspired by Roja Parfums' A Midsummer Dream, a rich citrus-chypre. This dupe copies the grapefruit-bergamot-orris skeleton but simplifies Roja's dense, barbershop-adjacent complexity into a brighter, thinner citrus-woody scent with far shorter legs and less character depth.
