Roja Dove Semi-Bespoke No. 1 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005, created by Roja Dove. Semi-Bespoke No. 1 opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Oakmoss, and dries down to a base of Musk, Green, Amber, and Orris. Roja Dove's Semi-Bespoke No. 1 carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find its fresh, clean character a touch 'boring' for the price, while others praise its gorgeous, energising floral blend. It's pleasant enough, but for Roja, maybe a bit safe.

About

Opens with a lively burst of aldehydic fizz, brightened by zesty bergamot and lemon, before settling into a heart of delicate rose and creamy ylang-ylang. The woody depth emerges through vetiver and sandalwood, softened by powdery orris and a hint of green freshness from oakmoss. It's clean, airy, and undeniably classic in feel, with a subtle musky, amber warmth clinging to the skin.
