Roja Parfums Semi-Bespoke No. 6 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005, created by Roja Dove. Semi-Bespoke No. 6 opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Caraway, Musk, Iris, and Vanilla. Roja Parfums's Semi-Bespoke No. 6 carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one is pure Roja opulence - a classic, animalic floral with a serious vintage kick. Don't expect any modern minimalism here; this is for those who embrace complexity and aren't afraid of a bit of civet. It's divisive, but for the right wearer, it’s magic.

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
Also Works:
Fall

Its citrus, musky and aromatic composition leans towards spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong projection and complex, animalic nature, this is far too much for the office or casual wear. It absolutely shines on a date night or at a formal event where its sophisticated and sensual character can be appreciated.

Declarable allergens

About

Semi-Bespoke No. 6 opens with a bright, bracing burst of citrus - neroli, bergamot, orange, and lemon - softened by a powdery hint of chamomile. This freshness quickly melds into a rich, heady heart of damask rose and jasmine, underpinned by creamy sandalwood and earthy patchouli. The dry down is where it truly unfolds, a beastly yet elegant blend of civet, musks, and resins like opoponax and labdanum, all sweetened by vanilla and beeswax, making for a deeply complex and sensual trail.
