Which Should You Buy?
Roja Dove's Chypré Extraordinaire is an utterly gorgeous, complex chypre that divides opinion. Some laud it as a masterpiece, while others are left cold by its hefty price tag and perceived lack of originality or performance for the cost. Worth a shot if you're not paying the full whack.
A love-it-or-hate-it take on a classic, No. 23 is raw, sexual, and utterly addictive. This isn't just a perfume; it's a statement. Animalic swagger mixed with high-class florals makes it undeniably divisive, but those who 'get' it are obsessed.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its rich and complex profile, Chypré Extraordinaire leans towards more dressed-up occasions. While some found its projection moderate, its luxurious feel suits formal events and intimate dates over casual or sporty settings.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
With its strong projection and animalic undertones, No. 23 is far too commanding for the office, but its sophisticated floral and amber accords make it ideal for formal events and especially intimate dates. While some might dare to wear it casually, it generally feels too opulent for everyday wear.
