Pierre de Velay No. 23

by Roja Dove

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 Aldehydes, Bergamot, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, Jasmine, and Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Civet, Labdanum, Leather, and Vetiver. 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.

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.
