What does Roja Dove Perfumery smell like?

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, spring is not far behind, and summer is the least favoured. It leans towards evenings and nights out, though some wear it to the office. Although unisex, most voters read it as masculine, with a classic feel.

The top opens with bergamot, lemon and lime in a bright citrus burst. In the heart, blackcurrant, tuberose and jasmine add a floral, fruity softness. The base dries down to leather, moss, patchouli and vanilla, woody and warmly spiced. Roja Dove Haute Parfumerie and Chypré Extraordinaire have a close profile.
