Diaghilev

Inspiration
Diaghilev was originally created for an exhibition on the Ballets Russes at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. It pays homage to Sergei Diaghilev, founder of the legendary Ballets Russes, who rewrote the rules of artistry and was even said to have scented the theatre curtains, so that audiences were enveloped in fragrance as they rose at the start of each performance.

The Signature of Diaghilev
ROJA calls Diaghilev a bold symphony of 33 ingredients. A floral heart of jasmine, tuberose, heliotrope and violet creates a sweet harmony, underscored by a lively melody of blackcurrant buds, peach and citrus with a touch of tarragon. Patchouli and oakmoss provide the classic chypre structure, while benzoin, leather, labdanum, styrax and civet lend a dark, theatrical richness. The fragrance unfolds like a performance: bright at the opening, opulent in the heart and deep and warmly animalic in the finale.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
For us, Diaghilev is one of the great classics in Roja Dove's body of work: a true chypre in the tradition of the grand perfumes of the last century, with a richness you rarely encounter. It is not an everyday fragrance, but one for moments when you want to leave an unforgettable impression. For the true perfume lover, a creation every collection should know.
