Semi-Bespoke No. 23

by Roja Dove

Roja Dove Semi-Bespoke No. 23 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Roja Dove. Semi-Bespoke No. 23 opens with Basil, Oregano, Bergamot, and Thyme, settles into a heart of Rose and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Pine, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Roja Dove's Semi-Bespoke No. 23 carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A truly gorgeous, masculine woody-amber that's complex and intriguing. It's a proper beast for longevity, though a fair few reckon the price tag's a bit steep for the ride. Still, if you're into labdanum-heavy scents, this one's a winner.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and beastly longevity make it less suitable for an office, where it could overwhelm. The warm, sensual amber profile, combined with its strong performance, makes it perfect for date nights and formal events, especially in cooler weather.

About

Opens with a punchy green and herbal burst of oregano, thyme, and basil, brightened by bergamot, before quickly morphing into a thick, chewy frankincense. Labdanum and creamy sandalwood deepen the amber core, whilst a warm spiciness from clove and vanilla emerges. The drydown unveils rich woods like pine, cypriol, and patchouli, completing a deeply resinous and earthy amber experience.
