Roja Dove Semi-Bespoke No. 21 is a Parfum launched in 2017, created by Roja Dove. Semi-Bespoke No. 21 opens with Grapefruit and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Tuberose, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Musk, Leather, and Cedar. Roja Dove's Semi-Bespoke No. 21 carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a masterpiece, a leather Chypre that's complex and high quality but wears with understated elegance rather than shouting. Definitely not for everyone, but those who 'get' it absolutely adore it.

Given its long-lasting scent and moderate projection, this fragrance is perfect for formal events and romantic evenings where its complexity can be appreciated without being overwhelming. It's too refined for casual wear and definitely not suitable for the gym, but could work in a professional setting if applied lightly.

About

It kicks off with a bright, zesty hit of grapefruit and mandarin before a lush bouquet of rose, jasmine, and lily of the valley unfolds. This floral heart soon gives way to a sophisticated base where rich leather and earthy cypriol mingle with a warm, resinous blend of frankincense and vanilla, polished by woody undertones of cedar and oakmoss. It's a journey from fresh zest to deep, harmonious complexity.
