Roja Dove: Britannia (2012)
Britannia is a fragrance by Roja Dove , launched in 2012 to celebrate the sixtieth year of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's reign. The inspiration behind the creation of this fragrance comes from the coronation ceremony, that time when the Queen is anointed with holy oil, thus suggesting the idea that she (or King) is such by God's will. As citizen of a Republic, and with no particular interest in Christian religion, I find these topics hardly fascinating, nonetheless I understand they make a great story for a perfume (especially if you have to justify a price tag of 600 euros). Britannia (why "Britannia" in Latin and not "Britain" in English? What a strange choice!) is my "first time" with Roja Dove, I had never smelled anything by this composer and I could try it thanks to my friend Cristian (ie Adjiumi, click here for the forum).
