Roja Parfums Roja Dove Parfum Royale #5 is a Parfum launched in 2017, created by Roja Dove. Roja Dove Parfum Royale #5 opens with Bergamot, Orange, Grapefruit, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Mastic, Anise, and Musk. Roja Parfums's Roja Dove Parfum Royale #5 carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Skip this one - it's a bit of a kitchen sink situation. Far too many notes crammed in for its own good, resulting in something that just feels muddled and confused rather than a cohesive masterpiece. Definitely one that divides opinion, and for good reason.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Date

With its dense, complex composition and likely powerful projection (typical of Roja Dove Extraits), this isn't an office-friendly scent. It's best suited for formal events or evening wear where its opulent character can be appreciated without overwhelming others.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

It kicks off with a confusing aldehyde and citrus explosion, swiftly followed by a jammy, overripe fruit basket that features peach, apple, and blackcurrant. As it settles, a heavy, dusty woodiness from birch and cedar takes over, underscored by an earthy patchouli and a rather challenging cumin. It's a busy, woody-fruity-spicy mash-up with attempts at powdery florals that just get lost in the noise.
