Semi-Bespoke No. 3

by Roja Dove

Roja Dove Semi-Bespoke No. 3 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005, created by Roja Dove. Semi-Bespoke No. 3 opens with Geranium, Bergamot, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Lavender, Rose, Jasmine, and Cumin, and dries down to a base of Civet, Leather, Vetiver, and Oakmoss. Roja Dove's Semi-Bespoke No. 3 carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This is a grown-up fragrance, a sophisticated and complex blend for those who appreciate classic perfumery with a spicy, animalic twist. Very divisive, some see a bold, masculine masterpiece, others find it too "dated" or even "stuffy." Not a blind buy by any stretch.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its strong projection and complex, animalic nuances make it a less suitable choice for the office, where subtlety is often key. It shines in formal settings and on dates, where its luxurious and bold character can make a lasting impression.

About

Opens with a bright, zesty burst of lemon and bergamot, uplifted by green geranium. The heart settles into a rich, aromatic blend of lavender and rose, spiced with warm cardamom and cinnamon, and a hint of intriguing cumin. The drydown unveils a deep, sensual base of leather, vetiver, and civet, grounded by oakmoss, musk, and a creamy touch of vanilla and ambergris. It's a journey from fresh citrus to a dark, complex animalic warmth.
