Roja Dove Diaghilev is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Roja Dove. Diaghilev opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Lime, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Violet, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Oakmoss, and Clove. Roja Dove's Diaghilev carries an Acquired verdict, a musky-led wear.

This is a masterpiece that smells like old money - if that money’s been rolled in civet. It’s an opulent, animalic chypre that people either adore for its undeniable quality or recoil from as 'old lady' perfume. Don't go near it if you're expecting modern mass appeal, but truly exceptional if you're ready for its vintage gravitas.

About

Diaghilev opens with a fleeting bright pulse of citrus before plunging into a rich, complex heart of florals, especially jasmine and rose, sweetened by an unexpected peach. The real drama unfolds in the base, where a potent blend of oakmoss, musky civet, and smooth leather delivers its signature animalic depth, underpinned by earthy spices and warm amber. It's an intricate tapestry, merging fruit, florals, and a compelling 'clean-dirty' contrast.
