Karenina is gentle in spirit. Its a warm, soft floral. Karenina in my wearing is supported on a bed of alluring ylang ylang with frangipani, gardenia, and a well restrained carnation and cloves adding texture to the powdery violet that adds femininity to the fragrance. The warm base supported by vanilla, cedar and musk gives a plush dry down to a light tropical oriental floral. The green notes air out the rich story.
Karenina nods to the past while solidly blooming in the present. I think all grand fragrances do have a nod to the past of classic perfumery, or in this case a look into the flower train to Russia. I dont get a solid “vintage” feel as some of the usual “vintage” base notes are not present, and I believe it was carefully selected to keep the story well rooted in the present. Its a unique modern romantic fragrance. A delight to wear. Longevity very long lasting, Silage moderate to full depending on amount used.
EDIT: Now Discontinued.

This is a pretty, sweet, oriental floral. It is heavy on the carnation with some sweet supporting flowers. This is not like Guerlain. Faintly faintly reminds me of Caron Bellodgia vintage. This is soft but not soapy. The green notes are definitely there. It does go on with a metallic violet in the top then the sweetness rises then the carnation and musk do their thing to even it all out.

I love Roja Dove and this fragrance sounded mysterious and exciting. I selected the Karenina atomizer as a gift when purchasing a full bottle of a different Roja fragrance. Unfortunately, it ended up being one of my least favorites. Vintage floral – along the lines of L’Heure Bleue, but with a strange and very pronounced metallic note in the opening. As it develops, the whole thing becomes much more subdued and wearable, the metallic note diminishing to a significant degree. I tried wearing it on a couple of occasions to see if it might grow on me, but didn’t find myself enjoying it at any stage. A strong perfume of excellent quality, but too dated for my tastes.

This has got to be one of nicest feminine scents I’ve ever smelt. My wife and I were looking for wedding scents for each other for our wedding day, I picked this one for her. We decided on a destination beach wedding in Florida, so I wanted a scent that would emulated a beautiful woman standing on a beach, flowers in her hair, soft and gentle, while capturing the natural sweetness that surrounds a tropical paradise. This scent nailed it! Roja Dove’s inspiration of “Karenina” stems from a love story. The main reason I selected this fragrance was because of the Frangipani note which happens to be the traditional flower of Hawaiian matrimony, also used for making leis. This is a softly sweet floral, mainly a mix of rose/frangipani/carnation scent with vanilla at the base. A distinguish woman that walks past you with this on will leave behind a mesmerizing trail of love, a love that has found her. This is a true love story written in perfume.
