Roja Dove Karenina is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Roja Dove. Karenina opens with Bergamot and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Green, Cedar, and Clove. Roja Dove's Karenina carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a proper old-school floral, a love-it-or-hate-it affair that got axed fast. If you're after 'vintage' without the baggage, it's a quiet gem, but don't expect it to smell 'modern' in the slightest.

About

Karenina opens with a sparkling burst of aldehydes and bright bergamot, quickly softening into a rich tapestry of classic florals. Carnation brings its spicy warmth, intertwined with creamy ylang-ylang, indolic jasmine, and velvety rose, all powdered by violet. The base grounds this opulent bouquet with soft musk, a hint of green, and the sweet spice of vanilla and clove, leaving a plush, elegant trail.
