Roja Parfums Pierre de Velay No. 4 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Roja Dove. Pierre de Velay No. 4 opens with Bergamot, Bay Leaf, and Sage, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Cardamom, and Vanilla. Roja Parfums's Pierre de Velay No. 4 carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Pierre de Velay No. 4 is a divisive one. You'll either adore its unique boozy, aromatic blend from start to finish, or you'll be put off by what some perceive as an odd bay leaf and powdery combination. Definitely not a blind buy.

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.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bay laurel Laurus Nobilis Leaf Oil from Bay Leaf
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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 an aromatic punch of bay leaf and sage, brightened by bergamot, before quickly settling into a luxurious boozy rum accord. The heart reveals a subtle rose, which adds a powdery softness. The dry down is a rich, warm blend of labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla, underpinned by creamy sandalwood and a persistent cardamom spice. It's a complex amber with serious depth.
