About This Perfume

Roja Karenina comes across as fresh white flowers with a delicate spice and creamy vanilla finish. It opens with aldehydes and bergamot, moves into Grasse jasmine, carnation and orange blossom and settles on vanilla, clove and cedarwood. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.

It works across all four seasons and is easy to wear day or night. It suits date nights. Released in 2016.

Wearers report that it lasts through a full day, and projects strongly and fills a room.

Is it right for you?

  • Best for: anyone after something floral and romantic for date nights.
  • Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
  • Skip if: you dislike powdery fragrances.

Around $500.

The Brand

Roja

Roja has 183 perfumes indexed on Scendira, Scendira's highest-priced brand by a wide margin. The six most-common accords are woody (109 perfumes), citrus (56), amber (52), aromatic (44), powdery (39), and warm-spiced (35), built on bergamot, jasmine, rose, musk, patchouli, and vanilla. Prices run $129.95 to $3,500, with a $500 median, luxury pricing throughout. 65% of the range reads unisex. By community mentions, Elysium Noir leads clearly, followed by Burlington 1819, then a tight cluster of Oceania, Apex, and Enigma. Roja Dove is a British luxury perfumer, and the catalogue reflects that: aromatic-citrus openings on a woody, powdery base, in the register of a serious, old-world perfume house rather than a mass-market Gulf brand. Filter by note below, or ask Dira which Roja perfume actually matches what you want to smell like.
