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
