Portrait
Roja Dove
In 2011 Roja Dove founded the house that bears his name in Mayfair, London: an independent haute perfumery house, made in England. He composes its fragrances and comments on their construction himself in the texts that accompany them, with a marked taste for lavish formulas and noble materials.
Committed to passing on his knowledge, he also devotes part of his career to training and mentoring young talent. Since 2025, a new generation of perfumers, guided by him, has in turn signed the house's creations.
Career and creations
For Roja Dove, everyone deserves to smell incredible: a fragrance, he says, connects us to ourselves, makes us stand taller and feel more confident. He comments on the construction of his fragrances himself in the texts of Roja Parfums.
Of Elysium Pour Homme, launched in 2017 and now an emblem of the house, he describes the balance between easy-going brightness and real strength of character: a burst of citrus and herbs, lifted by a musk top note, then apple, blackcurrant and juniper berry, before a base dominated by pink pepper and cedarwood.
Amber Aoud pays homage, in his words, to the methods and style of Middle Eastern perfumery: gum resins used for millennia, cinnamon, saffron and benzoin form a base of great softness, on which May rose and fig dance.
Diaghilev, a lavish chypre, was first created for a Victoria and Albert Museum exhibition devoted to the Ballets Russes, as a tribute to their founder.
