Roja Dove Gardenia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Roja Dove. Gardenia opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Clove. Roja Dove's Gardenia carries an Acquired verdict, a white floral-led wear.

This isn't a gardenia soliflore, despite the name. It's a posh white floral bouquet, a 'luxe soap' that divides opinion. Expect classic elegance and undeniable quality, but be prepared for a hefty price tag and debates over its namesake flower.

About

Gardenia opens with a bright citrus bergamot, quickly softening into a rich, powdery white floral heart. Jasmine, orange blossom, and mimosa take centre stage, creating a creamy, opulent bouquet. A whisper of peach adds a delicate sweetness, while a nuanced base of sandalwood, elemi, and musk provides a clean, well-groomed finish. There's a subtle vintage vibe here, conjuring immaculate sophistication.
