Roja Dove A Midsummer Dream is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Roja Dove. A Midsummer Dream opens with Bergamot and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Carrot Seeds, Musk, Cedar, and Vetiver. Roja Dove's A Midsummer Dream carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This one's a proper grower, isn't it? A divisive Roja that polarises opinions like Brexit, but ultimately, it's a classy, sophisticated wear for those who appreciate traditional perfumery. Don't expect a crowd-pleaser; this is for the connoisseur, not the newbie.

About

Opens with a zesty, almost bitter burst of grapefruit and bergamot, quickly softening into a complex heart where powdery orris, aromatic cardamom, and a hint of rose mingle with earthy patchouli and oakmoss. The dry-down is a warm, resinous embrace of elemi, benzoin, and vanilla, underpinned by musky vetiver and an intriguing touch of carrot seed, culminating in an elegant, almost nostalgic scent that lingers subtly.
