Roja Parfums Semi-Bespoke No. 25 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Roja Dove. Semi-Bespoke No. 25 opens with Mandarin and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Saffron. Roja Parfums's Semi-Bespoke No. 25 carries an Acquired verdict, an elemental-led wear.

This is a bold, complex scent, a wild ride through sparkling florals and deep woods. It's not for the faint-hearted; prepare to be consumed, or embrace its confident swagger. Divisive for some, divine for others.

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:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its strong projection and complex profile make it too much for a typical office setting, but it shines on dates and formal events. The rich floral and warm spicy accords suggest a preference for evening rather than casual daytime wear.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

It bursts open with a sparkling, almost soda-like mandarin and aldehydic pop, bright and fresh. Then, a grand bouquet of rich white florals emerges, with jasmine taking centre stage, complemented by the creamy sweetness of tuberose and ylang-ylang, and a hint of crisp green apple. As it settles, a luxurious, warm saffron emerges, subtly blending with a sophisticated, slightly dirty leather accord, adding depth and intrigue to the opulent floral heart.
