Roja Parfums Pierre de Velay Extrait No. 11 is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Roja Dove. Pierre de Velay Extrait No. 11 opens with Citrus, Pepper, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Iris. Roja Parfums's Pierre de Velay Extrait No. 11 carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

Pierre de Velay Extrait No. 11 is a divisive, unapologetically luxurious chypre. Expect grandiosity and a hefty dose of iris-rose powder - you'll either adore its vintage sophistication or find it a bit much for modern tastes.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

This is a statement fragrance, best reserved for formal events or evening dates where its undeniable presence can shine without overwhelming. Its power and classic elegance make it generally unsuitable for casual wear or the office.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

This one kicks off with a bright, peppery citrus burst that quickly makes way for a rich floral heart of rose and jasmine, dusted with an opulent, almost cosmetic iris powder. The drydown is a classic chypre foundation - deep, earthy patchouli and oakmoss providing a woody, slightly musky canvas for the lingering florals and elegant powder. It's a complex, multi-layered journey from fresh spice to powdery floral woody earth.
