How does Lakmé perform compared to other Roja Dove fragrances?+−
While some of the brands lighter "Parfum Colognes" are often critiqued for fading quickly, Lakmé is noted for much better longevity. It stays on the skin for a full day, though the projection becomes more intimate and "skin-like" after the first few hours.
Is this a feminine or masculine scent?+−
Lakmé is marketed as a unisex fragrance. Its floral heart of rose and peach leans towards traditional feminine perfumery, but the base of oud, frankincense, and cypriol provides a woody, resinous grounding that many men find comfortable to wear.
On what occasions should I wear this?+−
This fragrance is highly adaptable. It has enough depth for a night out or a formal evening event, yet the powdery, clean iris and citrus notes make it refined enough for daily wear or professional business environments.
What are the most prominent notes in the dry down?+−
Once the citrus and aldehydes fade, the fragrance settles into a warm blend of powdery iris, creamy sandalwood, and sweet vanilla. You will also notice a persistent, clean musk and a touch of ambery warmth from the benzoin and labdanum.
