Roja Parfums Semi-Bespoke No. 17 is a Parfum, created by Roja Dove. Semi-Bespoke No. 17 opens with Citrus, Bergamot, Peach, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of White Amaryllis, Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Roja Parfums's Semi-Bespoke No. 17 carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Seriously divisive. Some will adore this aldehydic floral with its animalic undertones, finding it mature and sophisticated. Others will just smell stale air freshener or even something vaguely unpleasant. Definitely try before you buy.

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:

Its sophisticated, slightly mature character makes it suitable for formal settings and evening wear. The pronounced aldehydic and animalic notes might be too strong or polarising for a casual or office environment.

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.

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

Like being enveloped by a powder cloud, No. 17 opens with a bright, clean burst of aldehydes and fresh citrus and violet. It softens into a bouquet of jasmine, ylang-ylang, and rose, with a touch of sweet peach. The dry down introduces a complex base of earthy oakmoss, vetiver, and musky castoreum, giving it a slightly animalic, lived-in feel, balanced by creamy sandalwood and tonka.
