“The cleanest clean — citrus and iris executed with obsessive precision and an obscene price tag.”
Roja Dove's 2017 aromatic-fougère — a complex citrus opening over a vetiver-juniper heart and amber-leather base. A reference Roja signature in the fresh-luxe category. Wears strongest in spring and summer, daytime.
