Roja Parfums Pierre de Velay No. 25 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Roja Dove. Pierre de Velay No. 25 opens with Clementine, Bergamot, Lemon, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Davana, Cyclamen, Immortelle, and Fruity Notes, and dries down to a base of Carrot Seeds, Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Red Wine, and Musk. Roja Parfums's Pierre de Velay No. 25 carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A divisive one, this. Fans call it a masterpiece of complex green citrus, oozing luxury and class. Detractors find it too green, or generic and overpriced. If you're after a classic-smelling, masculine citrus-aromatic with a modern edge, then this could be for you.

Scent Profile

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 Fall
Also Works:
Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its sophisticated aromatic and woody character makes it suitable for date nights and casual wear, projecting an air of understated elegance. While it has presence, it's not overpowering for office wear if applied sparingly. Its complexity and luxury lean make it less appropriate for sporty, high-energy scenarios.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a lively, soapy aldehyde-lifted citrus cocktail of bergamot, grapefruit, lime, and clementine. This bright introduction quickly transitions into an aromatic, woody heart where fir resin, cypriol oil, and patchouli create an intensely green, earthy forest floor aura. The citrus persists, mingling with a subtle, bitter coffee nuance alongside warm spices and rich balsams, drying down to a complex base of sandalwood, cedar, and ambergris.
