Roja Dove Bisous Bisous Review: A 2025 Woody-Fruity Gourmand

Roja Dove does not do shy. Even when the name is playful—Bisous Bisous, French for kisses kisses—the 2025 unisex extrait arrives with the house’s signature opulence and a very current obsession: cherry. This is a fragrance that wants to be both classy and cheeky, and that tension is exactly what makes it interesting. On paper, the note list reads like a collision of two trends. The aromatic lavender-clary sage opening nods to traditional fougère codes, while the cherry, blackcurrant, cotton candy, and caramel-adjacent sweetness pull straight from the gourmand revival that has dominated fragrance culture. The base—amber, sandalwood, cedarwood, dry wood, vanilla, and moss—keeps things grown-up and woody rather than purely sugary. Fragrantica users have already split into camps: some call it a beautiful, classy woody-fruity gourmand hybrid leaning feminine, while others find the lavender opening masculine and question the value at Roja prices. The overall rating sits at 4.39/5 from 18 votes. In other words, Bisous Bisous is not a universal crowd-pleaser. It is a conversation starter in extrait form—and one worth sampling before you commit.
