Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lilac
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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Britannia
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.

Occasions

Best For:
