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 - Semi-Bespoke No. 5

This one is pure Roja opulence, for those who appreciate the finer things. A pity it's gone, as it's truly stunning but with a price tag to match its luxurious scent profile.

Spring

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

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.
