Roja Dove Parfum Royale #5 opens bright and polished, with aldehydes and citrus giving the first minutes a sparkling, vintage-leaning lift. It settles into a richer floral heart, where rose, jasmine, orange blossom and tuberose sit over a woody, ambered base with leather, oakmoss and soft spice. This reads like a dressed-up floral amber with structure and texture rather than an easy. Show less

Diaghilev is a grand, vintage-leaning chypre with citrus, peach, florals, oakmoss, leather and a distinctly animalic base. It opens sharp, powdery and old-world, then turns richer, smoother and more resinous as it dries down. This is the kind of scent chypre lovers may find thrilling and everyone else may want to sample first. It wears with real presence, feels formal and dressed. Show less

Roja Dove Haute Parfumerie 20th Anniversary opens with bright citrus and aldehydes, then settles into a polished woody amber with powdery violet, soft florals, and a plush vanilla resin base. It reads rich, smooth, and dressy. Reviews suggest a more contemporary, slightly more masculine-leaning take than RDHP15, with a strong drydown that tends to be the real selling point. Show less

It feels polished, vintage-leaning, and quite dressed up, especially if you enjoy rich florals with a glamorous, slightly animalic edge. Show less
