Roja Parfums Pierre de Velay No. 1 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Roja Dove. Pierre de Velay No. 1 opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Saffron. Roja Parfums's Pierre de Velay No. 1 carries an Acquired verdict, an amber-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive scent. Some reckon it's a masterpiece of western oud that's worth every penny, while others are left scratching their heads, finding it too feminine, too leathery, or just a bit... meh. Definitely one to try before you buy.

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its rich, complex oud and amber accords, make it unsuitable for an office environment.

About

Pierre de Velay No. 1 kicks off with a brief, zesty flash of bergamot before settling into a rich, heady heart of rose, jasmine, and orange blossom. The base is where the serious stuff happens, with a warm, spiced saffron weaving through animalic oud and deep amber. It's a complex, opulent journey, blending floral sweetness with dark, exotic woodiness, softened by a touch of resinous warmth.
