The Story

Launched in 2019 by Roja Dove, Pierre de Velay No. 9 is a sophisticated Oriental fragrance that balances bright citrus with rich, warm accords. The composition opens with lemon and bergamot, providing a crisp freshness that contrasts beautifully against the heart of rose de mai and jasmine. As it settles into its base notes, vanilla, benzoin, ambergris, cashmere wood, musk, cedar, labdanum, and patchouli create an enveloping warmth that is both comforting and complex. Roja Dove's expertise shines through in this nuanced blend.

Application Tips

Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced experience. The citrus notes are bright but fleeting, so let the fragrance settle into its base accords for a warm, lasting presence throughout the day.
