Roja Parfums Risque is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Roja Dove. Risque opens with Litsea Cubeba, Bergamot, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Rose, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Roja Parfums's Risque carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A modern take on a classic chypre, Risqué delivers a sophisticated, glamorous floral experience, though some find the citrus notes a bit too sharp. It's a true luxury, for those who appreciate old-school charm with a contemporary twist.

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.

About

Risqué opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and lemon, quickly transitioning into a lavish, heady floral heart. Rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang intertwine with a distinctive, subtly green touch of chamomile and hyacinth. The dry-down is a rich, earthy tapestry of oakmoss, patchouli, and vetiver, underpinned by a warm, animalic hint of civet, creating a refined and long-lasting chypre base.
