Risque Pour Homme

by Roja Dove

Roja Dove Risque Pour Homme is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Roja Dove. Risque Pour Homme opens with Lavender, Bergamot, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Peach, Jasmine, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Vetiver, Cedar, and Cardamom. Roja Dove's Risque Pour Homme carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

This one's a divisive affair. Some reckon it's a masterpiece, a beautifully blended chypre with a unique peachy incense twist. Others find the prominent peach note a bit too feminine, or the incense a tad too churchy. Quality is undeniable, but it's not for everyone.

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its moderate projection and longevity make it suitable for a date or formal event without being overpowering. The complex, woody-amber profile isn't quite suited for casual wear, and definitely not for sport. Some reviews mention it can be worn in an upscale office setting, but the incense could be a bit much.

About

Risque Pour Homme opens with a bright, clean citrus and lavender burst, quickly followed by a soft, creamy geranium heart. As it evolves, a surprising peach note emerges, mingling with an intriguing incense smoke. The drydown settles into a sophisticated blend of woods, particularly cedar and oakmoss, spiced with cardamom and an earthy whisper of myrrh and vetiver, all underpinned by a persistent amber warmth.
