Which Should You Buy?
Roja Dove's Lilac is a beautifully composed floral that isn't quite a true lilac soliflore. While some find it a sublime, enhanced lilac, others are left scratching their heads wondering where the actual lilac scent is hiding. Don't go blind buying this expecting a pure lilac experience.
This one's a divisive grand dame - some find it an opulent, modern classic, while others reckon it's a bit too 'old-fashioned granny' for its eye-watering price tag. Expect regal powdery florals, a hint of fruit, and a subtle cocoa whisper.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its soft projection and elegant floral-powdery character make it ideal for formal events and office wear, where it won't overpower. The subtle sillage noted by reviewers makes it less suitable for casual or sport settings.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
Its sophisticated floral-powdery and ambery profile, despite good longevity, is generally not overpowering, making it suitable for both office and formal wear. Many reviews highlight its elegant and luxurious feel, fitting for special occasions, while its gentle sillage keeps it from being too attention-grabbing.
