Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Enigma
This is a seriously divisive Roja Dove scent: half the room will want to know what this delicious cherry cola is, the other half will accuse you of smelling like a urinal, old books, or wet dog. If you're into that kind of drama, spray away.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Rose
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.
