Roja Parfums Pierre de Velay Extrait No. 6 is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Roja Dove. Pierre de Velay Extrait No. 6 opens with Bergamot, Carnation, Pepper, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Violet, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Iris. Roja Parfums's Pierre de Velay Extrait No. 6 carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

Prepare for a proper chypre. This one isn't messing about, delivering a sophisticated yet unashamedly vintage vibe that demands attention and respect. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, so don't expect to blend into the background.

Profile

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall
Also Works:
Spring

Its woody, warm spicy and aromatic composition leans towards autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its dominant woody and warm spicy accords, combined with a powerful projection, make this less suitable for an office or casual setting. However, its complex, luxurious character is perfectly suited for formal events and an intimate, sophisticated date.

About

Bold, peppery galbanum sets the stage, quickly joined by the spicy hum of carnation and a whisper of bright bergamot. The heart blooms with an opulent floral bouquet of rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang, given a powdery, slightly plush edge by heliotrope and orris. It all settles into a rich, complex base of vetiver, sandalwood, and cedar, warmed by benzoin, vanilla, and a hint of animalic civet, creating a deep, enveloping trail that oozes classic elegance.
