The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Reckless Pour Homme by Roja Dove was launched in 2014 as an adventurous exploration of contrasting notes and textures. Opening with bay leaf, lavender, bergamot, and lemon, the fragrance immediately captures a fresh and aromatic essence. As it evolves, warm spices like cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, and cloves introduce a spicy warmth that is both earthy and inviting. The base notes of cedar, sandalwood, musk, and tonka bean create a rich, woody depth that lingers with an ambery comfort.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points — wrists and neck — for best effect. The top notes are bright but dissipate quickly, so allow it time to settle before leaving the house. A single layer is sufficient; its depth unfolds gradually over a few hours.
