Roja Dove Diaghilev vs Britannia

[Oslo-Fjord]

Which of these masterpieces do you prefer? Diaghilev or Britannia?
- I think Diaghilev is one of the best chyprē fragrance ever created.

Own neither but have tried both and I prefer the former of the two.

I prefer Diaghilev by a long shot over Britannia, personally.

I didn't think they were similar, really? I say Diaghilev, but it has performance issues for me -- kinda wish he also still made the EDP.

Wow, really? Diaghilev is nuclear on me...

That's my experience also

Brittannia easily. Diaghilev has waaaaayyy too much going on in there. Brittannia is easier to wear and smells better to me.

So what does it smell like? Anything similar?

Diaghilev might have had at least a few formulation changes I think. I have a sample of the very first release and the thing was a beast, the new one is still good, still has very good performance, but I feel that it's not as complex as the first release.

But between the 2 in question i'd pick Diaghilev for its more complexity and darker tones. Britannia is a great scent though.

Is Britannia more suited for women?

Yeah, I got a vial of Diaghilev last November, and It definitely smelled lighter, more aromatic than the paper labeled bottle. Always wanted to try that original EDP, though.

Is Britannia more suited for women?

I would say no; but it's definitely the more unisex of the two in this thread. To answer the original question, I like Britannia more.

Is Britannia more suited for women?

That’s the conclusion I came to.
