Pierre de Velay No. 1

by Roja Dove

Roja Dove 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 Rose, Jasmine, and Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Saffron. Roja Dove's Pierre de Velay No. 1 carries an Acquired verdict, a 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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its rich, complex oud and amber accords, make it unsuitable for an office environment. However, these same characteristics, especially the pronounced rose and oud, lend themselves perfectly to formal events and special date nights where making a statement is desired.

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.
