The story behind the bottle.
Risque Pour Femme Essence De Parfum by Roja Dove was launched in 2021, blending the classic structure of a chypre floral with unexpected sensuality. The composition opens with a bright and juicy note of bergamot and peach before diving into the rich florals of hyacinth, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and may rose. At its heart, oakmoss and cedarwood provide a disciplined harmony that seems to conform to propriety. However, this fragrance has more than meets the eye: an indecent dose of leathery labdanum lingers, turning the scent into one of distinct sensuality.
Two sprays are enough to capture the initial fresh and sweet notes. The leathery labdanum in the base takes about an hour to fully bloom, so it's best applied before you're ready to reveal its sensuality. It reads better close to skin than from a distance.
