Roja Dove Pierre de Velay No. 23 is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Roja Dove. Pierre de Velay No. 23 opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Roja Dove's Pierre de Velay No. 23 carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

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.

Spring Summer Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

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.

About

Pierre de Velay No. 23 opens with a sharp, shimmering burst of aldehydes and bright citrus, quickly tempered by a rich, buttery bouquet of ylang-ylang, rose, and jasmine. As it settles, a deep, complex animalic heart emerges, blending civet and leather with earthy vetiver and oakmoss. Warm amber, smooth sandalwood, and just a hint of clove and tobacco round out this intensely sensual and long-lasting composition, leaving a profoundly sophisticated and intriguing trail.
