Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Gold EDP
Black Gold is a divisive one. Some hail it as a masterpiece of complex layering and luxury, while others find it confused, bitter, or too linear. It needs time to appreciate and may not work for everyone's skin chemistry.

Our Verdict - Rose Parfum
Divisive, high-quality, and anything but linear. This Roja Dove take on rose is a unique, complex beast, loved by some for its depth and dismissed by others as simply 'a rose'. It's sophisticated, green, and a departure from modern candied rose trends.
