Profumi D’Amore: Three New Fragrances by Roja Dove

by: Juliett Ptoyan

Today, Roja Dove will present his first collection of this year: the Profumi D'Amorecollection, in which we meet three perfumes, each illustrating one of the stages of love - its beginning (Amore Mio), its declaration (Ti Amo) and the recognition of the feelings that will last forever (Un Amore Eterno). The packaging of the new line repeats the features of previous collections, but the crystals on the cap this time are painted in scarlet - just like the outer box.

For this collection, Roja Dove found inspiration in the stories of Casanova and his famous hot chocolate, to which the legendary lover added amber - a no less famous aphrodisiac. Thus, the base of these new fragrances include notes of ambergris,vanilla and cocoa, as well as orris and ginger, famous for its stimulation properties.

The first fragrance of the new collection, Amore Mio, is described as very soft, creamy and floral, with an oriental touch. It begins with notes of bergamot andmandarin, which are transformed into a heart of rose, gardenia, neroli, orange blossom, jasmine, ylang-ylang, cistus, heliotrope and violet. In the base we can find shades of ginger, pink pepper, cinnamon, cumin, saffron, gurjun balsam, patchouli,rum, cedar, guaiac, sandalwood, vanilla, cocoa, tonka bean, carrot seed, orris andcopaiba balm.

After love's beginning, it is followed by a continuation in the form of Ti Amo, which in the official press release is compared to the tenderness of a love declaration. It starts with a citrus accord, in which you can distinguish bergamot and tangerine. Further notes are lily, rose, orange blossom, jasmine, ylang-ylang, heliotrope and pineapple. In the base we encounter intense shades of galbanum, ginger, pink pepper, saffron,cinnamon, cumin, patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood and guaiac. Besides these, the pyramid contains vanilla, cocoa, carrot seeds, tonka bean, ambergris, cistus andorris.

The third fragrance of the collection, Un Amore Eterno, is notable for its wonderful tenderness of ginger and iris; this perfume literally "radiates passion", as the PR department of the brand states. The story of eternal love begins with a citrus accord, after which it continues with a classic "feminine" heart of rose, jasmine, tuberose,heliotrope and violet, and flows into the oriental aromatic base, where we find notes ofcloves, saffron, patchouli, cashmere wood, coffee, musk and white cedar. Just like in the other two editions of the collection the aphrodisiac mix (cocoa, ginger, amber, vanilla, orris) was added.
