Roja Parfums 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 Parfums's Pierre de Velay No. 23 carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-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.

Composition

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:
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.
